Came across a Super tiger 2000. Anyone know what size prop
and anything about the rpms.

Thanks, Kenneth

According to my prop chart, the ST2000 is a 1.2ci engne and should take between a 14x6 to a 16x4. What prop works best depends on the aircraft that you have it mounted on. For a fast plane, use a higher pitch and for a slower type, use a lower pitch. I would try to keep the top rpm around 10,000 to 11,000. I think the top rpm for this engine should be about 12,500 at the most!
I hope this helped some...

The best prop for the 2000 is going to be a 16-8. It's an old design and very large for a 1.2. They were good running and reliable engines.

The 2000 was the first, as I recall, big glow engine. Later ST came out with the 2500, 25cc or 1.5 cu. in. in the same case.

The 3000 and 3250 used a slightly diffrerent crankcase. It looked the same, but wasn't.

16X8 is a good prop as stated above. Try the Perry carb for it, makes a nice power increase for $35. Top rpm should not be more than 9000 static. These are not high reving engines like todays crop are. Feed it 10 to 12% oil after break in (all castor) or 16 to 18% oil (castor/synthetic blend) fuel and yes I have the ST supplement that explains this (for all those that think this is bs). Nitro % is up to you, I run 15% nitro Omega in my 2000 & 2500 with great results. They also like OS F plugs. With a little care they will last a very long time.

Thanks you for the good information .one more question.
Would you put the 2000 on a Great plains Giles 202 1/4 scale?

thanks again, Kenneth

Sure, I have my 2000 on a SIG Extra 300 1/4 scale. Flies well but don't even think of 3D. Does yours have 25cc stamped into the left side mounting lug?

Mine doesnt have a 25 stamped on it. Just has made in itally, and super 2000. Must be a 120size. What prop are you turning?

I run a grey Graupner 15/8 three bladed prop on my 2000. 8000 to 9000 max is the ideal rpm band for this engine.

This is a very nice running engine. No more than 12% oil needed... a few percents of nitro can be added to improve idling, but are not really needed when you run a hot plug like the Enye #3.

It is heavy for its size (and big...), but it runs forever. I've had mine over 10 years, and it still runs like new.
It is also pretty economic on fuel with the standard carb.

One of the best engines I own...total satifaction...

I run an APC 16X8 on mine 2000.

Sounds like I"ve found a good engine. What to put it on; I have no idea.

I've got mine on a 100" Telemaster... I use it as a workhorse: towing sailplanes up, putting sailplanes on top of it to take them up, sometimes two sailplanes at once... one behind the plane and one on top of it, dropping candy for the kids on shows and fly-ins, aerial photography... you name it, the Telemaster delivers...
