Default OS32sx DAVIS HEAD

Finally it got here 32 SX head from davis new angular fins smooth top it make the glow head look puny, binding screw against compression screw now straight thru no longer at an angle on top, nice touch hope for a run tomorrow quite an update after 30 years or so martin
thats the glow head on the pill vial

Hit the wrong button on the camera sepia a little different

The beaver will fly with the installed Enya 25 first then will be switched to the OS and see what 3 blade we can swing hope to try a couple tomorrow on the bench. the AT6 will get the ST34 conversion

what makes the 32sx awesome is the carb. as a glow engine, it wll turn an 11x4 prop at like 11.5K. its a really strong engine.

however, the carb will likely not help you much as a diesel, as i'm sure you are aware of. i'm curious just how much the barrel ends up traveling between idle and full throttle Martin. I'm thinking since the barrel is so big that it may not travel much.

it looks awesome though. what prop are expecting it to swing? i'd say 12x6-2 blade = 10k 10x5 - 3 blade - 9K

by chance, did you read the review of the AT6 in the latest RC-Report? That joker takes a lot of servos...

Tommy boy I did not see the review yet but there is an additional sheet suggesting a separate battery for the receiver and servos with the beaver I would guess the same applies to the at-6 AND THIS IS WITH A 3200 MIL BATTERY. I am using a 2000 mil NiMh in mine as diesel. Estimated flight time as electric about 10 minutes we can easily double that and still weigh less. This is a variant on the K.I.S.S. principal> I call it K.I.S.D keep it simple diesel martin

ON the carb my guess around 70% opeh will be full throttle plan and running later today will let you guys know

yeah. i'm eager to see how it runs on diesel as i have a 32sx glow that i love. but diesel it may become seeing as how nitro is too much money now...

will you fully deck the at-6 out > 8 servos??

Yes on 8 servos will use a sub micro for throttle not much torque needed for that, a 2000 mil battery should do fine with the micros the big battery draw would have been the brushless motor martin
