i love how small that thing is how much hp is that thing

I have one of those sitting on my workbench. I am not sure of the power but i know that it is designed for airplane use.

those are sometimes on free flying airplanes

They definitely only for airplane use. I believe they will turn about a 3 inch prop.

Ok, heres the ifo (I have one also):

They are 0.049 engines designed to run on 0% Methanol.
They do not have a carburettor as such, they have no throttle control, it is merely start it and leave it till the fuel runs out.
They do not have a tuned pipe, they have a few holes at the top of the cylinder, this makes them very noisiy, much noisier than my 0.15 in my on-roader.
They heat up like crazy, this is because the un-burned oil and extra stuff that usually gets spurted out the stinger on a car gets spurted out the holes of the cylinder which covers the cylinder, effectively reducing cooling.

my brother has three of those, he got them from a friend but none of them will run. you can still buy those even though they are discontinued, i saw one last summer in a hobby store for $40 cnd

$40! You got ripped off. My dad bought it for me when he was over in america, it was a fully funstional control line. Cost him $30!

he said $40 Canadian, thats like $32 american or 17.50 Pounds

oops, my bad.

meh, honest mistake

Nitro_Evader_Basher, why aren't you using your other account (the one with the funny avatar?)

and that one went for 12.51

I bet theyre real powerhouses LOL.

They are actually! i think I'm gonna build a fan powered car with mine, or a nitro hairdryer!

[X(][X(] Do you realize how totally awesome that would be. You could put a nitro engine in there and a blower that blows air over it. It will spit all of the excess fuel in your hair and act as gel, cutting the time it takes to do your hair in half. You should think about getting it patented.

lol

Yeah, what a great idea! You could also make the cover removeable so it also acts as a hair clipper as well, so you can cut, gel and dry your hair all at once, I shall call it:
The 3 in 1 Nitro Hair styler ("Cause your worth it!").

I could make million! I could be rich, rich, RICH!!!!!!!!!!!! [sm=sunsmiley.gif][sm=RAINFRO.gif][sm=sunsmiley.gif]

I have a box full of these at home... They were indeed from control line airplanes... they were meant to run for about a minute then stop... the fuel tank is built into the backplate and mixture is controlled by the single needle... They were a ***** to start and were extremely noisy and dirty... I have fond memories of them growing up.. I even had one in a helicopter, which I still have... maybe 30 years old... probably still works... As far as hp... probably not mote than 1/10 hp...

A helicopter!? I would like to see that!

sorry for the double post.... hit buttom twice... The Helicopter goes straight up for about 15 seconds to about 200-300 feet then the motor stops and it autogyro's down .... It worked real well as long as there was no wind... I lost a few as a child.... saved this one..

Ha Ha! Does yours still work? If it does, I would love to see a video of it.
