RE: TT 46 Pro maximum 8500RPM

Update:  I eventually decided to buy another engine rather than pay the $100+ to refurbish this one (an ASP 52 for $59 from Hobby King but that's another story) however I ordered a new set of...

RE: Tank height vs. thrust line

Moved the engine today. Moved it anticlockwise about 115 degrees and it runs as smooth as silk and the crankshaft is still lined up with the centre of the firewall.  Only issue was rerouting the...

RE: Tank height vs. thrust line

It's a low wing trainer so I'm thinking the lower centre of gravity is a good thing. I can't really move the tank as it's at its highest level now. Your suggestion of a 90 degree mount is a good one,...

RE: What engine?

I just bought an ASP 52 and am VERY impressed!  I read a very good review here http://www.rcmodelreviews.com/asp52_review2.shtml and agree with everything it says.  More power than an OS55 AX at 1/3...

Tank height vs. thrust line

I recently purchased a new engine and upon delivery set it up on my bench with an 11 x7 prop and a tank of fuel. It started easily and ran very well, soon consuming the tank of fuel. Happy with its...

RE: TT 46 Pro maximum 8500RPM

I like conspiracy theories but in this case I think we're a bit off the mark. The rounding of the head bolts suggests to me that a previous owner has used the wrong size allen keys to try to undo...
