RE: YA Skyhawk and Wren 44 Gold Perfect together
I'm thinking about it. I haven't done the comparison yet between engine weights but I can only assume the Wren 44 is the lightest among motors in it's class. I met Barry in Mississippi a few weeks ago and know that he backs a great product. will look into the two motors a bit more when it comes time to choose. congrats on a great looking and flying bird. cheers

RE: YA Skyhawk and Wren 44 Gold Perfect together
WIsh I had seen that ad!! If you decide to sell it again give me a jingle. Good luck with your T45. Mark, I may have overlooked it previously but how much fuel are you carrying and what kind of flight time? [quote]ORIGINAL: Dr Honda [quote]ORIGINAL: Vettster $500 bucks?? Must have been a bunch of EDF'ers thinking they could play with the big boys for the same price..lol[:D] Im not in hurry for one.. Winter will soon be here[;)] [/quote] That's what I was thinking too. I Picked up a boat project for the fam... and I was going to sell my 44 to fund the rebuild. Plus... it was sitting on the shelf for over a year. So I posted it. But, after getting the low offers, and selling a few other things... I decided to finish my T-45 project. At this point... I'm glad I kept it... but I am shocked that it didn't sell. (FYI, it was posted for $1500 with new bearings, and a wren pipe. AND, it only had 2 hrs on the fuel pump, and temp prob) [quote]ORIGINAL: Mark 5 Tony if your T-45 is only 8 LBS ,it will be a rocket with the Wren 44. [/quote] I'm hopping to have it done tomorrow. So... I'll get a weight on it. I'm thinking about turning down the thrust a little. I don't need +1:1 on a little jet. (lol) I think Ron told me that 175K rpm would be 7#. I guess I took it a little off subject. Sorry. I'll shut-up now. [:D] [/quote]

RE: AMT AT 280 Thrust?
weird, I've got a 1998 and 2000 vintage Mercury and Pegasus (180 / 280) and they both show Max RPM set when the motor reaches the required parameter. It's pretty rare but sometimes a weak fuel pump can be the culprit and although "running them in" doesn't always works, it does alleviate one source of the potential problems prior to boxing up the engine and sending it in for a check up. I like the data box you built Dr Honda, nice work cheers buck

RE: AMT AT 280 Thrust?
It doesn't hurt amigo especially since its been sitting for as long as it has. You can run an 11v pack no problem with these motors. Happy to help anytime. Cheers Buck

RE: AMT AT 280 Thrust?
ensure your fuel line isn't kinked or restricting flow to the engine. if it's not attaining max rpm, a likely source of the problem is the fuel pump. you can "break in" the fuel pump by running it directly from a battery pack and just letting it circulate fuel through it for a few minutes. make a closed loop system into your fuel can, hook up a battery pack, 7.2-12v and let her run. fuel 'em and fly 'em amigo. she may be a heavy gal but she'll provide hours upon hours of enjoyment..[:D] good luck

RE: AMT AT 280 Thrust?
If I remember correctly that era AT280s were 28lb thrust motors. They were a collaborative effort with AMT USA and AMT Netherlands when they were based in West Virginia solid motors, i've been running these tanks since 1998 when the first Mercury engines were introduced. fuel 'em and fly 'em
