RE: *Brillelli 26-SSR*
Hi Shawn..... I am using a MAC 18x6 Classic prop..... I always use these plastic props for the first flights because the wood Menz get destroyed if you nose over or hit the tip, so first I get used to the plane landings and then switch to Menz or CF props.... If the noise does not come down I was thinking of getting a 3 blade 17x6....

Hi Zippi,
This baby for a 120 plane will pull vertical non-stop..... I fly my .90 CMPRO Edge the full IMAC with half throttle... I think if I use full it will tear the plane apart
.... I had a 90 Super Tigre on it and it was too heavy for it, but now with this engine its like a feather...
I would highly recommend this engine for all 120 to 140 size planes.... Its around the same cost as a good methanol engine and with a 16oz tank it can run for 30mins or more.... This weekend if its now snowing or -10c I will take some more video and tach the engine... I am going to change that MAC prop for a Menz, it should keep the noise down, but I hope it doesn't pull the firewall out [X(]
Take care...

Not really sure what weight your looking at but the ST .90 only weighs 27oz with muffler and the Brillelli 26ss is 45oz RTF. Anyway, this is a very impressive engine and as a prior owner of three of the Brillelli engine I know the quality is there. It will be interesting to see what your enigne is taching at but it sounds strong.

RE: *Brillelli 26-SSR*
Sorry but I meant the plane was to heavy for that engine and not the engine for the plane....... The engine could not pull the plane around very well.... With the Brillelli now I don't need any nose weight and it pulls great and flies the plane wonderfully...

RE: *Brillelli 26-SSR*
Well unfortunately I have some bad news
I was basically shot down on Sunday. I can't officially prove it, but I know for a fact nothing came unpluged, battery tested fine for 1 min under a 1amp load and ranged checked perfect after the crash. I have never had a lockout in 2 years with my WC2 but Sunday was the day where I had to watch my plane tumble to the ground. I had radio lockout maybe 800' in front of me and there was nothing I could do but watch it fall.
Power wise it looked pretty good... I took off within 10-15' and pulled straight verticle and just kept climbing. With the heavy APC The plane weighed 11.8 pounds and seemed to pull fine. The 26 turned the 18x6W at 8720 with not even 12 oz through it yet. Power looked like it would be ok but I got locked out within the first 3 mins of the flight so I really didn't get any time on it to do much.
A shame really.. I was looking forward to finishing the covering job and maybe putting a pipe on it just for fun.
Sorry the testing ended early.... I haven't decided what I am going to do yet. I lost my 33% at Huckfest do to a unexpected dead stick in a HA KE low to the ground. I have to decide if I am going to try and fix that and get an IMAC plane back in the air as well. So many things to do.. atleast it's winter I have a 26, a 60, and an 85 that all need homes!
This is the last pic I have.. I didnt even get one at the field together!

RE: *Brillelli 26-SSR*
Hi all,
Well my experience so far has been great. I have had about 10 flights with just over 1/4 gallon thru the engine. Its very economical and just runs wonderfully. I am now going to use a Menz wood prop 18x6, but already it has unlimited vertical and just goes up forever...
Here are some pictures of the plane :-)

sinergy,
Really sorry to hear about your plane. Sounds like the Brillelli 26scc was a good match for your plane. Two weeks ago I lost my new Pattern plane just after 5 flights. It came straight down on the concrete runway. It was destroyed so bad it was hard to tell what happened. I not only lost the plane but the new Saito 125 was a loss as well. It's like one fellow told me, once you get a new plane in it will ease the pain of the one that was lost. And you know we all like getting new toys in.

Ya Zippi... new toys are always fun. My list for this year is already long haha.
Bob.. should do just fine. You can also probably call Scott and ask him to make the standoffs so your total length is 6.25" instead of adding a 1/4" spacer.

RE: *Brillelli 26-SSR*
i feel sad knowing that people are loosing planes/motors/avionics ... due to interference
intrinsic or extrinsic
you might want to try out the 2.4ghz, said to be bulletproof
i wish to use 26ssr in h9 f100x, you think ill get unlimited vertical?

Well unfortunately there is no such thing as bulletproof and 2.4 is far from it. However neither is 72... so you pretty much have to make your choice and deal with the issues of each.

RE: *Brillelli 26-SSR*
I am not knocking 2.4 I flew it a couple times at Huckfest in Georgia... I just know that it's not bulletproof... but nothing is. I flew my WC2 with my PCM receivers for 2 years without a lockout and I fly alot.. that 2 yrs was probably 55+ gallons of gas.. was content to saty on 72. But to loose a plane with less than 12 oz through hurts.. so I am considering 2.4. I was already looking at switching to JR for a few reasons.. just wasn't sure about 2.4. However this most recent experience has said maybe I should make the jump and just embrace the newest battery technologies to avoid power issues / reboots.

RE: *Brillelli 26-SSR*
I will be running my 26 SSR this weekend. The plane is a prototype built for Ohio Model Planes. Spent the last 2-1/2 months building the thing with well over a hundred hours invested. Dry weight is a little under 12-lbs and will be using a Xoar 18x6 prop. I have the Carbon Fiber Skorepa pipe installed and hopefully I'll get performance in the range of an O.S. 1.60FX

RE: *Brillelli 26-SSR*
Not sure how that Xoar will work out.... the more I used them the less happy I was. Tend to load up the engine and have weak raw pull out power. You should see 9400+ I would guess with that prop. A mejzlik will give you more pull and high 9k I would guess. I didn't get to play with a pipe on it yet 
Where did you get the pipe from, how much?

Sinergy,
I may try a Mejzlik and I would guess that I should stick with a 18x6, right? The pipe is from www.escomposites.com and this is where you can buy products from Ed Skorepa. It is a little pricey at $165.

RE: *Brillelli 26-SSR*
ahh ok... ya I had never heard them referred to that way... I know ES Comp Thats the one I was going to use but yes is a bit pricey
This motor works a lot better at high rpms so start with an 18x6. I can see maybe after 3 or 4 gallons trying a 19x8 or a 20x6 Mezjik.. it really depends how it performs on a pipe. To my knowledge you are the first one trying one on a pipe... I didn't get that far yet and I know Scott hasnt tried it either. I will be very curious to hear your results.

Dave,
The engine needs to rev, so I think the 18x6 would be best. Later it may take a lrger prop. On the pipe, who knows. I tried a 20x8 on one and it never got into its power band so was pretty low. The pipe may allow it to get up there. I can;t wait to hear how it goes.

RE: *Brillelli 26-SSR*
I received mine in the mail last week and got it mounted on an Ultra Stick Lite 120 and fired it up at my house this afternoon. I have a Mejzlik 18x6 prop on it and am getting 9200 rpm with the engine. I won't have a problem with the top end but can't get an idle lower than 2700 rpm right now. Scott warns in the instructions not to set the idle to low until it is broken in. In the mean time I am going to adjust the wheel collars tighter so I can taxi the plane! It supposed to be 73 here in Tennessee tomorrow so I am going to take it to the field tomorrow and see how it does in the air.

RE: *Brillelli 26-SSR*
Bench,
When test running them I get the idle in the 2200 range right away. You may need to set the idle higher and richen it a little. It takes some playing when they are new. If too lean it will not idle low or if too rich. Yours could also be a little too ruich since my telps were in the 50's in my shop when I ran it. Use very small adjust ments. After an hour or 2 of runtime I can get them in the 1800 range. They are pretty tight when new so do not idle low well until some time is on them.
Hope this helps.
