RE: General question on fitting props
I put my new APC props on a dubro balancer to see where the hole center should really be. I will then use my bench drill press to ream the hole approx where it should be. I find that the final balancing is much easier this way. After you do a few props this way you get a pretty good idea of how far off center to ream the "new" hole.

RE: Super Tigre prices appear to be heading up
[quote]ORIGINAL: summerwind i can't believe that this thread is still going................funny though, old vintage NIB Super Tigres (italian made[8D]) fetch more than these new Chineese versions........ [/quote] I am a ST fan and have picked up many over the past 10yrs. I think if you are into collecting, the italian engine is the one to buy, and yes they do seem to command a little more $$ on 3bay than the newer chinese counterparts. I have a few of the chinese engines and they are very well made, I think they are cleaner inside and all have been shipped wet with preservative oil. I am happy that the chinese are building high quality engines and have not ruined the Supertigre name.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !
Yes it is no suprise that a hot engine will start without the glow plugs being lit by battery power. These engines are not toys, they deserve respect for the injuries they can inflict to the careless. I have seen fellow pilots get carted off to the emergency room to stitch up severe cuts. I wear a leather welding glove when I hand prop my big tigres. I had a S-3000 smack the hell out of my hand, and even with my welding glove on I was running around my backyard crying like a madman in pain. I escaped injury, but man that hurt like %*$#@(*.

RE: Zenoah G-20 starting problem
Is the carb "wet" with fuel when you attempt to start? A good wet prime is neede to get the fire started. Is the plug gap roughly .020"? Did you try cranking the engine with the choke closed until the engine "pops"? Open choke, crank again with throttle at idle or very slightly open, and it should start. If you have compression, fuel, and ignition, the engine will start. If not, something is missing. Good luck

On a 5 cyl radial you will never have more than one cylinder at tdc at any given time. A boxer twin is easy to do because both cylinders come up on tdc at the same time, and you can fire them both together, as one.

RE: witch engine
The G-26 is qiute powerful for its size, I very much doubt that the DLE is going to be much stronger. I have owned the brison 2.4 and it is a very nice engine, mine turned a APC 20X10 @ 7200 rpm, this is much stronger than the G-26 and weighs little more. If you can get one, I would suggest it as a good choice.

Hobbsy is telling you that your engine is not turning fast enough with the large prop, and this is causing poor fuel draw through the carburetor.

The G-26 is a great engine, and is lighter and as powerful as the 38. From what i'm reading, this plane comes in at close to 20lbs? I'm sure the G-26 would fly it, but there would not be much excess power there.

RE: Problem problem problem
Kostas, give that poor engine a break! A 11x6 is too much prop. Your .40la has the power of a .25BB engine, maybe. I have found that a 10X5 is a very good prop for the .40la. As for your problem with the fuel draw, do you have the tank placed close to the engine? If not, maybe the engine can't pull the fuel that far when the plane is held vertical.

RE: Saito Bearing question
I'll bet you did'nt use a sealed bearing in front? It's okay as long as you can live with the oil loss from the front, it really is just a cosmetic problem that will not bring any harm to your engine. If it were my engine, I would just leave it as is. At least you know that there will always be fresh supply of oil coming through your bearings and camshaft area, and that is a good thing for sure.

RE: Where to Buy Megatech engines?
I have bought several of the megatech .61's from a vendor who was listing them on on 3bay, they were brand new and very inexpensive. I don't see any listed at the moment. The .61's are a longstroke design similar to, but not a clone of the OS .61SF. The .46 is a clone of the OS SF with a true ABC cylinder.
