RE: Is this engine of interest?

Looks very interesting to me, David. Do you have any idea what the cost would be per engine?

Good luck and keep us posted here on this diesel lovers web site!

What Was It?

Back in the 50's my brother and I got a 1/2A u-control plane kit that included an engine fitted with speed control...the first I had seen. The engine was fitted with a small rubber bellows, and a...

Tachometers

Someone told me a few months ago (I think it was on this forum) that the TNC was the best and most accurate tachometer available, so I set out to find one. I managed to find that the rights had been...

RE: Small Spitfire Engines

Mention of the Atwood reminded me that this was my first successful engine. I put it on a 4-Bullets (anyone remember those?) and flew the heck out of it. My brother got a Wen-Mac at the same time I...

RE: Brodak Control Line ARF's

Sam, the Smoothie interests me a lot. They were one of the top stunt ships back in my c/l heyday. I never owned one, but maybe it's not too late. Any idea when they will be available? I see that they...

RE: Why are diesels not more popular?

Interesting point about the VW diesels, DieselDan. I had a VW Rabbit back in the mid-80's, and it was the most fuel efficient and least repair intensive car I've ever owned. It gave a consistent...

RE: McCoy .049 & .09 diesels

One of my favorite plane/engine combos around the early 50's was a Jim Walker Firebaby with a McCoy .049 diesel. I was just a kid with no transportation, so it was easy to get this combo to the local...

Fitting a prop

I was recently advised that a good prop for my brand new MVVS 2 diesel would be a Graupner gray 8x4. I ordered one and it just arrived today. When I tried to fit it to the engine, I was dismayed to...

RE: Help with MVVS

Thanks for the info, HMAS. Someone told me that the MVVS diesels were high rpm speed engines, and not as suitable for a slow, lugging application as a PAW. Since I'm not a speed merchant, perhaps I'd...

RE: Engine offset on profile fuselage

Jim, why don't you use engine offset on profiles? What method do you use to maintain line tension? Leadout rake? Rudder offset?
