Side Mounted

Many have suggested that the cowl is large, but doesn't move air properly on a side-mounted glow. Perhaps some ducting baffles to direct air over and behind the head of the motor is in order.

I'd...

Change?

A variety of reasons, but mainly - my signature - I like to try stuff, figure stuff out, and learn....so we know how the gasser works (outstanding!), but how will the OS do with it being 1.6 lbs...

Wagstaff Extra 300

dennis - I never ran the Biela 24", but the 26" was a hell-acious load on the ZDZ 80. I would expect the 24" to equally load the 60. If you can get a Bambula, I'd do that...after running both the...

bodyman - you are SO under-loading that motor.... when I had my ZDZ 60, it REALLY came to life with a 24 x 10....breaking it in on the 22 should only be like one more tank ;)

Lower pitch = lower speed, higher pitch = higher speed....On my Patty, going to the 24 x 8 really improved the slowing down...a LOT...big differences compared to the 22 x 10.

I thought that was a Zinger; could spot the square tips. Those have a LOT of load on a motor, and their pitch accuracy - well, shall we say "tentative"?-

monkeyhead - GP's recommended "starting" CG is 5 3/4" aft of the leading edge at the fuse, making it the FRONT of the wing tube. You have an extremely-aft CG, and I would not fly it that far back.

Clarification Needed....

I wasn't trying to advocate a lighter OS (or any glow) engine.

Thanks...I've used it quite a bit for a variety of things, and it really is an exceptional adhesive. I imagine bonding a canopy would be a "forever" operation using that glue....great hint, thanks!
