Happy birthday. You have my full support. I have a pile of engines sitting here ready to go like that too but I doubt todays weather will be good enough, maybe.

Hi, Happy Birthday.

Is that an OS 60H, or 80H, in the lower right of pic 3? I have an 80H, but I need the carb manifold. I think the 60 and 80 use the same part. do you have a source for parts for them?

Thanks.

Sincerely, Richard

spaceworm

Yeah, same here, but no accumulation..

SWAP meet tomorrow. See you there?

Thanks fellas! It's in the mid-40s and my wife took me to lunch. Good time to load up some stuff and go burn some nitro.

Richard - it's an 80-H. I got it in a box of stuff another RCU member sent me awhile back. Not sure if it will run - ring seems to be in rough shape and compression is low. I'll video the attempt anyway. Actually, I'll be making a bunch of engine vids today.

spaceworm

Good luck with it and the other engines you run. I will be looking for the videos.
If you choose to get rid of the 80H, please let me know. Thanks.

Sincerely, Richard

Thanks Barry!

Ill need to to edit the videos some. I only ended up running my Jett .56 and Enya 46-4C to get them broken in. The Jett was a little challenging to get setup just right, but the Enya ran awesome. The ring seated quickly and has phenomenal compression. It peaks about 10,500rpm on a 10x6 APC on 80/20 true FAI fuel which is my break-in brew. Next up will be adding some nitro to the mix to see what she'll do. Waiting on an email back from Dub Jett about the .56 to figure out why it was acting goofy on me. I ran out of time to run anything else but I'm gonna try to sneak back out in the next few days to run the 46-4C some more and maybe get the Jett dialed in. The Jett did turn a 9x6 at close to 19k today.

Videos to come soon. Will post links when they're uploaded.

Anyone burning any nitro these days? I went yesterday and flew for a good 4 hours. Man, it felt good to get out. I realized that I didn't do too bad this winter. I burnt 3 gal. of fuel. That's pretty good for winter in the north east.

I spent all weekend flying on ethanol-free 91 octane. Just picked this bad boy up:

I hope that was burn't with the help of a glow head.

spaceworm

Maybe with OS gas/glow plugs in the bike?

stevegauth30

Nice digs brother. You lucky dog. I thoroughly regret selling mine.

Thanks. It's a big step up from a Sportster

Sport_Pilot

He said flying. I did not consider that a cruiser bike could fly. Thought he was referring to his model airplane.

stevegauth30

Like going from a control line to a giant scale warbird. Congrats buddy. Now, someday you gotta finish up the RV-7.

spaceworm

Airplane, are we talking airplanes here? I don't see his airplane! Could be his Sportster was a plane, or maybe a bike. We ALL need to get out flying with a plane (No, not a Hudson Terraplane either).

I flew my Sportster the day before yesterday, I accidently flew 121 miles on 93 octane Shell. I am going to mount the 1.00 twin on a Tiger 60.

stevegauth30

Now THAT id be interested to see. You guys are killing me! Making me regret more and more having to sell my Harley. It was a 100th anniversary lowrider. Cant seem to find any pics of it right now, but I will.

spaceworm

Oh yes, Triumph did have a Tiger, the T100

AHA! NOW you're talking my kind of car. My dad's first car was a 1938 Terraplane, 4-door sedan, and I spent an awful lot of time in the back seat, until I was old enough to drive it. Learned how to drive with that old block of steel. Sure wish I still had that car, it was GREAT!

However, back to the subject at hand - airplanes. Yup, been burning nitro pretty much all winter. Matter of fact, I'm down to just 2 gallons from 9 in October. Actually got a chance to fly on Easter. Family's all elsewhere in the world and my other half suggested I take a couple planes out - so I did.

It's nice to have an understanding other half.

stevegauth30

sure, my wife says to me all the time, why don't you grab a couple of planes And go. and me, I'm not one to argue. Haha. Wow 7 gallons is a lot more die hard than I am. I've always been slightly envious of the guys down south who have nice weather year round

This is the Tiger I meant, that other one is a beaut too. It's wearing a very early high compression, 15.0 to 1, compression ratio Saito .80. The thing flies like its on rails. One of my faves. I can lose the nose weight with the twin.

Bobou812

Wow Where are you getting parts for the enya, I have an enya 35 for my heli has no compression won't even start?

Bobou812

Can't get my OS 32 to start either spits fuel from muffler when cranking with spinner starter but no fire in the hole?
