RE: OS Max 46AX repair
I heard a rumor that the piston and sleeve for an OS 46 FX can be replaced by components from another brand of engine. It's hard to believe but if true, I could save $$$$$$. Thanks, Roy Perry Peru, NY

OS 46 AX main bearing removal
I have new bearings from Boca. I bought this engine used knowing that the bearings needed replacement. The main bearing won't budge after heating the case to 350 F. The bearing is VERY rusty and I'm afraid it has locked itself into the crankcase. HELP! Thanks for your advice. Roy

RE: VMAR Xtreme Stix
This is a brand new ARF from VMAR. It's available in a high or low wing version and three different colors. Price is $89.95. A good value IMO. I bought it so I can retire my Ace Thunder Tiger Stik which has been flying for 7 seasons. It's still going strong but it is time to retire it.

RE: VMAR quality issues
I just recieved my newly released VMAR Xtreme Stik which I ordered from Quantum Models. It's obvious that there is a marked improvement in quality over the VMAR Discovery I bought for a club trainer 2 years ago. They really are getting better. So let's back off on beating up on VMAR I have built ARFs from Kangke, and Great Planes and found that I needed to beef up the areas around the firewall and other critical areas. No ARF is perfect though I must say that Kangke is close.

VMAX engine parts
Can anyone tell where to get parts for a VMAX .46 other than Richmond R/C? Since this engine resembles so many engines that are made in China it might be possible to use parts from other engines. One thing I found out is that the GMS .47 con rod does no fit my VMAX. It's one gnat's wisker too long. Bummer. Look forward to your help. Thanks, Roy Perry a/k/a Command Central

RE: tiger stick 40
I've flown one for more than 4 years. The covering does wrinkle but the airframe has held up well. Reinforce the firewall joints with hardwood triangular stock. I had a ST 51 in it and it really moved. It now has a TT GP 42 in it and still moves. Flies great and I'd get another. Command Central
