Im watching this video in 2024 because 11 years ago my dad bought one of these for me but for the past few years it has been broken. Being discontinued I have not been able to find parts for the frame. I don’t know how to identify the part it is I need but if you have any advice on websites to visit I would really appreciate it
The video started off great but it turned out to be a waste of time. You should’ve had the physical engine in your hand to demonstrate all the details about it. This will be my first gas engine and I’m trying to find out if I need side exhaust or rear exhaust and that wasn’t even mentioned.
We need to know the net payload of the UAV drone that will be fitted with this engine, as well as the engine power in relation to the payload. If the UAV has a payload of 50 kg or 100 kg, what would be the optimal engine to be connected to it?
Greetings, I have both versions, the first mounted on a 17cc Stuka and the truth is that swimming, of course, has a lot to do with the air and the mounting of the sleeves. Use heavy weights in the tank and a respirator hose, as well as a gasoline filter. all good I run my engine with 6 os klotz synthetic oil. No problem with the engine, that's why buy the second generation if you don't know that it has a separator in the carburetor. very good to dissipate heat right now the 9cc ngh motors are good but I have four and I found the problem if you had one take a 46 ax motor and turn it and you will see that it has one appeared. good but the ngh 9cc motorboats did not have to be easy I counted the lid inside and put the smallest Chamberí and it was clear greeting from the island of enchantment Puerto Rico
Hi M. Shirley, I was wondering if it’s possible to use aerofly 7 on my macbook pro with my flight contoller fs-i6x (I have the cable sm-100) Thank you and have a nice day.
Is the coil inside the connector for the spark plug actually required? The connector on my new DLE 20ra does not connect properly when the coil is inside but fits well without the coil.
Way too slow and long winded. I just bought this engine but I felt it would be quicker to learn by trial and error than wait for your speech to come around and repeat everything 4 times.
Oops sorry that posted before I signed off . You could do with adding a section to your video to explain the MK 2 has a fix . If you do that your video would truly be informing regard the product as it is it smacks of wanting revenge regard the poor quality of your original purchase . Did you try the trader that sold it you or manufacturer ? Again that info would be informative
Hi - Just trying to find out if there was a trade distributor for this engine. Saw your video. I think there were problems with early versions , obvious fuel issues . The mk 2 cures them. It can be incredibly frustrating when you cannot figure why an engine is behaving badly. My self - Id have tried tank, clunk etc and when it still remained an issue , return it to where it was sold for back up. I expect you probably bought it direct from China and this gave you a problem . I’m not sure if it’s the same this engine but sometimes parts can have more than one manufacture . This is a situation where a good model trader would have solved problems .
Great review, thanks. I just ordered a copy as I am interested in learning to fly my helicopters inverted. I was hoping to see how this looked on this sim. Any way you could review this feature for helicopters on this simulator?
I don't buy your diagnosis tbh, the carb is nowhere near the temperatures you talk about being so far from the cylinder head and while running it's cooled by the air flow and the fuel vaporising. Your issue is more likely to be caused by too stiff foam being used for the fuel tank causing foaming. Another solution would be to add an in line header tank as are used in model helicopters.
Hi James I have just purchased aerofly RC7 but unable to connect my DX6i to the system?Is there a special dongle to connect my trx to the computer.Regards Neil
Finally!!! I had given up on simulators 'cause I've always been Mac, and to see I can use my RC radio is fantastic. What if I fly electric? - is there a sound option? Now I can stay in practice during the colder months. Great review! Now to go and buy one, Thx!
So does the GT17 gas engine work better now since your video that you were having a hard time turning it? I’m looking forward a good engine that I could put in my .60 size big stik.
After watching your video, the term newbie comes to mind, but that's ok, we all must learn new things to grow in the hobby. It is a well known practice to use a felt lined clunk in a tank when running gas to eliminate air bubbles from the pickup line. I agree it is a good idea to have a thicker insulated spacer between carb and engine. I did not like the routing of your fuel line right over the top of the cooling fins above your engine. I would have found a better route to the carb, which actually draws fuel from the tank via the built in diaphragm in all walbro gas carbs. You only run fuel pumps on larger engines requiring a consistent, higher volume of fuel supply to keep it running smoothly under load conditions. The extension added to the carb inlet is called a velocity stack, which smooths out the air flow as it enters, providing more consistent engine performance. It's been three years or so since you uploaded this video, but I hope additional comments will provide some insight for fellow modelers.
