boy this site is really screwed up, the first time I quoted this^^ I clicked to the right on quote, as I was typing I looked up and it said it was Jesse's quote, so I typed in Jesse's name, I didn't think much about it, then a moment later I though that was wrong and I went back to page 1457 and saw it was wrong, so I had to change the name to "acdii "

wow

I still need to mount and fire up the NGH38CC for my B-25 and hear them. They are 4 stroke gas engines with a straight pipe.

Pete, I check to see how well my Saito 100T would fit in the Mustang's cowl, once in the cowl it's a tight fit, a very nice fit actually, only a tiny bit of glass cutting would be needed, both Intake Pipes hit just a bit, so once you cut out for the Intake Pipes no more cutting would be required, slick,, but getting the engine to go into the cowl is something different, once the engine is mounted to the engine wall I would have to cut out long patches on each side of the cowl to get the engine inside the cowl,

it's just too bad the cowl didn't have removable panels that fit well and looked good too, the 100T would be just the coolest engine for that plane !!

if it fit, the engine would have been mounted by now !!

Jim re your midget mustang there's not many times i'd say yours is bigger than mine.Here's a couple of pics i've posted before re the fa115 engine fit in the smaller cmpro midget.The fa100t would lack the grunt needed to make the mustang shine but should fit in the cowl easier.Look up some you tube vids and you'll see what i mean.

Split the cowl along the sides, glue in a backer strip on the top part, of either plastic or a couple thin layers of plywood, then get a bunch of small screws and screw the bottom part to the top, and to make it look more like a real cowl, put screws in the top too. My 10-300 Ultimate was like that, but since it went in nose first, the cowl shattered. I don't have a picture of my Rascal 168 cowl, but I did the same thing with it too.

Can any of you computer gurus explain to me why thus site converts my BBCode (IMG) pictures to attachments?



They show up as BBCode images in the preview, but return to thumbnail when I post.

acdii, Here is an example . I did the same on my Ultimate.

The one I had, the builder sliced it in front and under the hub opening too, but it was also to fit around an OS Gemini II 120. I did the same on my Rascal for the DA 100. Sure makes it easier to get on and off and doesn't look bad either. I used servo screws with the allen head.

The FA-100Ti and FA-200Ti are both designed fir inverted mounting. That is why they have remote needle valves.

yes sir, I did think about that because some one here on the Saito page brought that up before, but I just don't want to take a chance and make a dumb thumbs and screw things up, so I wont be doing that, my OS 70Sz is lighter and I know the 2St's well, so I know I can make it preform


RC Specialties "Jim",
that's one slick job on that cowl, the Mustang's cowl sure isn't as flat, so as I said I don't want to mess it up, now if I could trade or sell my OS 70Sz for a good price I would be happy to buy another Saito, there is a lot of room in the Cowl so I'm sure the 125 would fit, and there is always a 125 for sale sooner or later, as I remember the 125's Cylinder is only 1mm longer than a FA100, the width is no problem inside this Cowl !


"remote needle valves" thanks for the info, I didn't notice that about the Ti engines

BTW guys, my FA 100 is/was marked, Center Punched for the drilling and taping, a wood jig has been made to hold the case to the mill/drill, I will be testing drilling and taping on bar of aluminum this week before drilling and tapping on the case,,, with that I don't think I will be able to get the drilling and tapping to a prefect 90% to the case (X&Y), but it will be close, when I drill I will be drilling at a .050" depth at a time and using a tooth brush on the drill and hole to keep the hole as clean as I can, same for taping,,, to add, the Tap will be very easy to align with the hole, because the Tap Wrench has a Center Hole, so after the hole is drilled I will just mount a Pin in the Drill Chuck and that pin will align the Tap,, slick huu

oh, I read years ago, when machining, drilling and taping Aluminum you can use just about any oil to keep the cutter, drill cool, I have tried it before many times with Gear Oil and it worked great

Nice one jim looks like an apc prop on the front of an fa150?...pssst i know a guy who makes better looking turbo header mufflers if you need his phone number mate cheers

Good to see you back sr,for a while there i thought you must have bought an overrated american made motorcycle cruiser and gone for a ride in the woods where it promptly wobbled off in to the shrubbery or broke down and stranded you.Do you still have that vid of the 200ti being flown in an american warbird?

On Tuesday I took my bike to Hector Inspector for the annual Va. State inspection, it was 10 miles to there and 70 miles back home, go figure. After sitting since Nov. it fired on the first compression stroke, Fuel injection is a wonderful thing.

I'd love to have your problem, I hate those big pictures.

SrTelemaster150

My pictures are sized specifically for message boards. (640 X 480)

It seems inane that anyone would rather have to click a thumbnail to view the picture in another window where the text can no longer be viewed. It's like having all of the pictures for a magazine article posted separately at the back of the magazine. Wouldn't it be just peachy to have the flip back & forth between the article and a "picture apenndix" in a magazine?

Again, this is the ONLY board I post one with such asinine picture posting software.

At least before the site "improvement" I could post pictures as I want before the picture nannies might strike. Actually "Club Saito" was the only forum that had picture nannies. In the other RCU forums they would leave my posts alone.

Guess I'll just have to post on RCG and post links to that site here when I do my next how-to thread.

BBCode is what photo hosting sites use for IMG linking. You would not be posting that way if you are using pictures from your computer.

I have right clicked on various full sized images posted here and clicked "copy image address". All have come back as "vbuleton" URL while all of mine come back as attachments.

Here is one of your pix the full url will not post

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...3011676972.jpg

Right click the link, right click on the image, "copy the image address, paste in the task bar and see the URL in the task bar.

The "vbuletin url will also show if you hit the quote" button.

Mine will start out as the "imgur" IMG url and even show the 640 X 480 image in the preview, but once I post, the url disappears in the parallel universe and the picture reverts to a thumbnail.'

Like this.

I tried to post some pix on another thread.



Pictures went back to thumbnails.

Here is a normal piston contact pattern from a 12.7:1 Compression FA-180 running glow fuel with spark ignition. I ran this on a test stand for many hours, at least 10 hours @ WOT doing prototype tests.
