RE: discharge from muffler

Black oily streaks/residue CAN mean a screw (usually a muffler screw but sometimes a mounting bolt) is loose. But it'd be BLACK, not brown, and you'll see it in the vicinity and "downwind" of...

RE: Several Questions about Starting Glow Engines.

Yeah, AMA competition rules, and even FAI rules (for F2D). When Norvel came up with the spring starters for their AME engines, that caused a brief controversy (ruled against by the Combat Event...

RE: Testing the new NV (Norvel) .40 size (6.5cc) gasoline glow engine

Interesting. I didn't realize there was a problem getting castor oil to mix with gasoline in the first place. The old WWI rotary engines used castor oil (total loss system), but they probably use a...

RE: Several Questions about Starting Glow Engines.

S.O.P. for one-flip starts in Fast or Slow Combat (.36 engine) or even Speed Limit with .25 and above sized engines.

RE: The Ultimate question - when does it make sense to go gas from glow???

RE: Engin ID Help w/ pics (1 Fox / 1 McCoy)

If the Fox box is original to the engine, then it's a "Rocket", not a "Stunt". I don't know very much about old Foxen, but if I recall what I've read on various forums correctly the Rocket series...

RE: Evolution .52NX Glow Engine kills in flight

RE: FOX ENGINES

RE: FOX ENGINES

The Fox Stunt is a good engine for low-performance "Slow" competition classes. Everyone uses the same engine, so it's competitive by definition. Sometimes the rules specify the airframe as well....
