RE: What are "low rates"?
Low and high rates. distance of reccommended travel of control surfaces. Most computer radio's(transmitters) have two settings for travel of servo's . Ex. Low rate your elevator may move up and down 1/4 inch.... on high rates it moves 1/2 inch up and down.

RE: Zenoah glow plug adapter question on Poulan 42cc?
John the advantage of a gas/glow mix is the weight loss and a small gain in power... You lose the Mag and the flywheel weight. If tuned/mixed fuel right you do not need onboard glow, I have a mac 28 cc that will idle all day long and then slam wide open in an instance.

RE: gas fuel with glo plug no ignition
I use the cool power ST fuel and it doesn't separate at all , I have also tried the traxxas car racing fuel and it seemed to work also.

RE: Melting Aluminum for small parts
I work for an aluminum manufacturer, I have access to unlimited suppy of molten metal--bad thing wrong alloy and not heat treated. Alloy could be controlled by what you place in it. but almost impossible for the individual to heat-treat and obtain the correct properties that u are used to in the 60 series alloys. Pure untreated alloys are heavy and very weak...por machineability.

RE: Carb Question

Engine score
Had a friend give me two engines, an Echo pb1000 (21 cc??)blower and a stihl fs-85 weed eater.. "he said neither one will run there junk" 15 min after I got home both run like a top, just spray clean the carb and adjust the needles and they start right up. Now what to put them in>?????? I have read alot on here about the Echo's but what about the Stihl is it good to convert.

RE: gas fuel with glo plug no ignition
Ki8fr A smaller carb will fix that problem. I have a mac 28cc that will not run on a "28" 11.1 mm carb. Adjust high or low end but never both. Droped down to a "26" carb and runs like a top and the Max Rpm is still the same. your motor just can't handle the larger airflow and bogs..

Two engines both dead!!!
I took apart two engines I had yesterday. 1- a little 19cc (weed eater brand ) leaf blower, piston connecting rod gualded and rubbing the case oh well no loss 2- Then a 25 cc leaf blower (craftsman) I really wanted this engine it was so light , set up for glow it weighted 2 lbs 13 oz with stock muffler.. I actually had it running once in the blower but when I took it apart the piston is gualded and the bore is slightly groved.. I guess no way to repair.. well repair cheaply that is... How hard is it for people to mix two stroke oil really ARGGGGGG...n Sorry just venting.

RE: gas fuel with glo plug no ignition
Well my hobby shop said they thought it was 12%. I did get in to run mixed with gas, so it doesn't have tooo much oil but now I run cool power Large ST glow fuel 10%. Its much better I believe.

RE: gas fuel with glo plug no ignition
The jerks @ Traxxas will not say what oil content they have. I sent them a letter back a few months ago asking about oil content. and They just jerked me around .never would say how much oil is in there mix. I tried to explain what I was doing with it but the guy just wouldn't listen just kept saying it wouldn't work for airplanes.........
