Doug,

Which 7.5 engine do you have? FIRE or RIRE? If RIRE, which carb?

He162 is a good flier with that setup. I've seen several.

Grass field is no problem with that power setup, I had one and flew off grass easily.

vin is it the os 46 fx side exhaust will it work thanks frank

i was going to throw the plane away got it to taxi years ago my engine had no power and i was lost on rc info might restore it and get it going frank going to miss after burner

I have a question for you Heinkel guys. Where did you place the fuel tanks and are you using just regular pipe pressure? I have the 162 hanging in my ceiling with the new K&B 48 on it I am not sure how I should plumb it.

g man the old set had the tank in line with the fan in the rear everything was hard thr. tank etc might try to restore my with all new now sure on the tank and so forth for new equipment can you send me a pic of yours my is in need of restored, framed and painted did not know mono kote and modeling in general at the time

Frank,

The OS .46FX is not a D/F engine; won't work with side exhaust. YOu need a ducted fan engine if you want it to get out of its own way!

G-Man,

I mounted the tank in the fuse per the plans but use a perry pump on the OS-46. The round perry pump?? It required a pressure tap on the motor crankcase, it worked beautifully, the motor would idle forever and run up perfect. Thrown rod finally bit me, ended up in a tree.

Vin...

my engine is the fire, perry pump and carb. its never been run. not a drop of fuel. fan is new also. i want to sell it to get a bigger fan and engine for my a4 skyhawk.

anyone converted one of these to electric ducted fan? If so, what did you use?

Yes - 90mm fan. They fly good. Do a search on the "other" site, there is some good info.

thanks, I'll check that out. I would have thought a 90mm fan would be too small.

searching the 'other' site. No luck yet
