RE: New Tee Dee .020 Crankshaft Wanted

TD .020 crankshafts are extremely hard to come by. Best bet is another used engine and keep what you have for parts.

RE: Strato-Bug! Here's what they look like...

I don't think there is much hiding prices any more as you can search ebay for recent auctions. Sometimes local sales can yield real deals if the seller is uninformed.

RE: TD 049 Carb Body

I used a red one on a TD 051. The fit is tight and needed a wood block and a small hammer to get it on all the way. Not sure if it will ever come off. I used a thin film of high temp red RTV to seal...

RE: .049 medallion throttle exhaust

I believe that the SPI cylinder is your problem. Instead of pulling in fresh air you are pulling in exhaust gas. SPI and exhaust restriction type throttling do not work. Put a sure start cylinder on...

RE: Golden Bee's Wild Ride!

Do you happen to know the wing area and the weight of the Chineese ARF.

Value Hobby has something with the same wingspan but the weight is 2 lb. Too heavy for an 049.

RE: VA 049 MK1

Larry,

Did these also come with different size venturi? I found a little bag that has a smaller ID venturi and 4 copper shims. The shims look to be for the piston timing.
