Sachs-Dolmar 3.2 Prop and tank size
Looking for some suggestions on a good prop to start with on a SachsDolmar 3.2 engine and what size fuel tank. I want to put a smoke tank in as well so any suggestions would be welcome.

I use Brison 3.2s. They consume 1.75 ounces per minute at full throttle. If you are going to fly for ten minutes a 24 ounce tank is good enough with a couple of minutes as a reserve. I use Zinger 20X11s and get good performance from them. The Zinger 20X10s are also good. Dan.

The plane is a Walt Moucha PJ-295. I have the plane just about ready to cover. I plan to put a smoke tank in as well. Thanks for all of the advice.

I would use a Xoar laminated 22x8 or 22x10 depending on the speed you want and a 24 oz tank, will give you 15 to 20 minutes flight time.

How do you guys like this engine? I just acquired one and am thinking of putting it in a GP Ultimate bipe 160. This aircraft had a DL 50 before and that was a great combo.
My Sachs has a CH ignition with mechanical advance. I may need a muffler for it as well. Any leads on those?

3.2 engines are awesome , I have several Brison 3.2's. They are as reliable and durable as you can get and will generally outlast any DL or DLE etc.. if reasonably cared for . I use Bisson mufflers . The 3.2 Sachs cylinders were used on Brison , Fox , A&M , Walker , Precision Eagle and a few other engine manufactures .

The Sachs Dolmar cylinder based 3.2 are generally fine engines. There were a couple variations with bad cranks and rods.
The cylinder and piston were from a Dolmar 115 chainsaw.
I have a new unused Brison 3.2 and a well used Brison 6.4 twin. I also have several Dolmar chainsaws.

Dan - I need a muffler for my A&M 3.2. That Brisson looks good. Can you tell me the size and where to order it? I just did a Google search and didn't find any Brisson's specifically for the Sach 3.2.
Thanks.
Mike
