RE: NEW SYSSA 30CC GASSER MADE IN THE USA
Almost done mounting the engine on a Funtana 125. Next will be the ignition. It's moving slowly but it's looking good. [:D]

RE: Looking for ideas to keep oil off my planes
I'm going to 30cc & 50cc gas. Cleaning is one thing I can deal with but the cost of 30% nitro is off the charts.

The Customer support from Syssa has been fantastic. When I ordered there were zero problems with shipments.

RE: NEW SYSSA 30CC GASSER MADE IN THE USA
Here's some more pic's of the motor installation for the Funtana 125. The only things I have left to do for the motor is cut the hole for the choke rod that will exit the bottom of the motor box and seal all the exposed wood. Then the electronic ignition will be next. I already have all the servos for all the control surfaces installed . When I received my Funtana 125 the nylon control horns were missing from the kit. I contacted Horizon two weeks ago and advised them of the problem. The horns were out of stock. Today, I received an email from Horizon advising me the parts are in stock and being shipped. Now I have every thing I need to complete the build. I'm still about 3 weeks away from having it done. I'm not going with the CA hinges, I"m going to use Dubro's instead, so I'll have to drill all the holes for it and re-enforce as necessary. Regards, Chuck

First Pic: Choke-arm on the syssa 30cc modified to fit in the Funtana 125 Second Pic: Blind nuts removed from firewall and filled with an oak dowel Third Pic: Stand-offs installed. Next I have to tac the choke rod and install a thin piece of metal in the inside bottom of the engine box with a detente and then the motor will be ready to be mock-up so I can cut the cowl. Regards,

RE: NEW SYSSA 30CC GASSER MADE IN THE USA
[quote]ORIGINAL: tsyssa Chuck, you can trim the choke arm...so that you can use the inner hole and have the ball link on the aft side of it. Then you drill a small hole in the bottom of the motor box for the choke rod to go through. There is very little to trim then on the triangular stock. The triangular stock does not appear to be doing anything anyway as the grain is running the wrong way it seems. [/quote] Todd, I mounted the standoffs and did a real quick mock-up with the motor. Your recommendation is spot on. I'll trim the choke arm and mount the ball link on the aft side. As for the choke rod, I think I'll tack a small washer on it and mount a thin piece of light weight metal on the bottom of the motor box with a detente so it will lock in place when I choke the motor. Thanks for the fix. Regards Chuck

RE: NEW SYSSA 30CC GASSER MADE IN THE USA
Has anyone installed this motor in a Funtana 125 yet? Tonight I started the installation and what I'm finding is because of short standoffs used the carb must be mounted thru the firewall. By doing so, the choke arm is hitting the inside left side of the firewall and I can't properly align the engine on the thrust line. In order for the motor to fit, I'd have to create a relief hole on the left side of the firel wall, so the choke would work. Any suggestions. Regards, Chuck

RE: New Funtana 125
JohnB96041 Do you recall what kit number your 125 was? Mine was kit number 81. For some unknown reason I kept the box. Usually I check the kit contents and throw the box away. Tonight I really started looking at everything and I was going to start to work on the control surfaces and I'm short. If you want to let loose of those extra items let me know what your want for them. Thanks

50%plane, On gas motors I don't use a test stand. I fly the motor to break it in and prop it accordingly. The PDF manual is 10 pages long and I haven't received it yet. I'll wait for the manual before I mount it on the Funtana 125.
