G26 setup
 

Do you have any photo's to show how you set up a linkage on the throttle?

This may not be the best way but it worked for me. Doing it this way I kept the origional throttle arm and stop on top of the carb.

L48: Is that a regular ignition coil on your G26? What ignition are you running? Thanks Capt,n

RE: G26 setup
 

Here's another way.

Gents, thanks very much, the pics make it very clear on how to set up bell cranks.
When I've completed the set up, I will post some pics of the plane.

Mike:D

It is just the stock mag. ignition set up from Zenoh.

RE: G26 setup
 

Hear is my setup, I do like antiques bellcrank also.

Looks like you have your G-26 on a Hangar 9 Ultra Stick Lite also. As you can see by my picture it is a little dirty, it flys alot and is a great plane motor setup. From your picture looks like it is new, if you haven't flown it yet your in for a treat.

Hi Flyers!!! Building a GP .60 Stik but with a smaller G20. Did you guys have to reinforce the firewall to accomodate the extra weight and vibration of the gas engines? Thanks.

RE: G26 setup
 

L48 she is new almost ready to fly........... and Lexmar I used fairly large triangle stock with 30min epoxy.

RE: G26 setup
 

Yes I reinforced my firewall also. I know a guy that has the same set-up and didn't do anything to his firewall. He hasn't had any problems.
I'll bet that 60 size stick with a G-20 will be a real rocket.

RE: G26 setup
 

I would also like to reinforce the firewall but because the GP stik is an ARF, it may require major surgery to do so. Any suggestions or does anyone know where I can see pictures on how to reinforce? Another question....when assemling your tank, do you use tygon gas line to connect the brass nipple to the clunk? My experience with tygon is that it gets stiff real quick w/c may hinder clunk movement while in flight, what does most people use? Again, thanks very much, this has been very informative, I appreciate all the info.

RE: G26 setup
 

To reinforce the firewall you can do it from the outside if you want to pin the firewall. You can do it by using small tack nails or you can drill and then glue in small hardwood dowls.
As for the fuel line I use the clear yellow line, if it is tygon I cannot say but never had any problems.
I'll send a picture of my 60 Ultra Stick firewall that I pined with tack nails, works very well. I'll send it in my next reply" I have to take a picture of it first.

Here it is.

Lexmar, use neoprene tubing. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXK824&P=ML Safe for gas and smoke.

It won't harden like the Tygon or others will.

RE: G26 setup
 

Thanks guys,your tips are most helpful,appreciate the help!!!

One more for you to look at

RE: G26 setup
 

My 26 looks a little different. It's a RCIGN converted 26, but I took it a bit further :)

RE: G26 setup
 

RTK, tell me about putting as servo so close to a gas engine with electronic noise.
Is this not asking for problems on electronic feedback to the receiver?
I'm no expert, but all the literature I have read is; "keep the electronics far away from the gas engine."

Arobatx, thanks for the pic's on setup and reinforcing the fire wall. Good job, but how about a pic on your throttle set up?
Mike

RE: G26 setup
 

I always do a engine on/off range check and the difference has always been less than 10%. To date I have not ever had a problem with feed back or glitches. As long as it range checks you will not have a problem.
You are correct though, more distance is better....

RE: G26 setup
 

Miketc,

All I have is a front shot of the engine, but if you look close, you can see the throttle arm (on the top) and the linkage goes straight back into the firewall.

RE: G26 setup
 

I have several pictures. Sorry they don't go into more detail but maybe they will help.

RE: G26 setup
 

hey birddog,

Have you flow the pitts yet? Curious what the all up weight ready to fly is, and what you think of it?

RE: G26 setup
 

It might be difficult to tell by my pictures so... which Pitts? They are both different Pitts models. The S2B or the 12?
