Andreas,,I wonder if you could tell me round abouts where your needels ended up?,,,and which way you moved the sensor with the rotat or against?,,thanks Jonney

Hi Jonney,
I just checked the needles, L-1 and 1/4 turn open and H-1 and 1/4 turn open. The engine ran very well like this, the plug is a tan brown colour, so it seems to be right. PLEASE BEAR IN MIND: I am about 6500-6800 feet above sea level, so if you are any closer to the big water than your setting will be richer (I think your highest mountain is about that high).

The ignition had to be retarded as far as the slot in the pickup mount would allow, with one screw removed (the left screw when viewing the engine from the top standing behind it while it is mounted inverted) you have to move the pickup in the direction of rotation, until all misfiring is gone.
Shout if you need help
Regards

Andreas

Thanks Andreas,,
Im only 700 odd feet above ,,Ya right im right over with pick up ,,needels about 1 3/4 out idel around 2200,,peak about 8000 Spining 16x8 its goin pritty good and not a lot of heat i think that larger bore on the header pipe helps alot
Did you over come the no choke prob?
cheers jonney

driesbabe

Hi Jonney,
Your Nr's sound allot better than mine, but then you are allot lower than I am. As for the choke, I use an electric starter, dose well, and no priming necessary, once it has warmed up, it starts first flip. No probs.

ca$hey

Did ya check it out Andreas ,,,Intreasted in what ya think

driesbabe

Hi Jonney, (I like the Nick)

But, I like the Extra also. You guys are so luck, as you get all these fine planes. I see it has a profiled tail and all, that’s not standard on this size of plane if you ask me. If I were you, that motor would be in that baby, running in in the air, not on that neat test bench.
Oh, one last thing, I'm so glad that my shop is not the only one that has "KAK" lying around everywhere.

Keep me updated please
Regards
Andreas

I just ordered 3 of the SV 26cc engines for myself and 2 of my buddies. The shipping was $95.00 total for all 3, not bad really. I called Hobby City about an hour ago, and was assured that they will definently be getting more in soon, so were not too worried. Dennis

I have started yesterday brand new SV26cc. I'm new to gasserrs, and that is my first gasser egine, it starts fantastically, transicion is good and ideling too. can say nothing about top RPM, cause I don't have tachometer, but see this video:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=DBCrqnQX_6U

though muffler comes loose and it needes retightening, and throtile arm on carburator ins aluminum and from vibration the hole for pushrod connector is enlarged a bit, I think nylon pushrod connector won't cause this.

I order my SV26 on the 19th of Nov and mine was shipped from Hong Hong on Dec. 1oth. It arrived it the US on Dec 11th and is on it way to me. I have been tracking it thru Hobby Citys web page. I plan on install my SV 26 in a Goldberg Stinson. The plan is known to be tail heavy so i am hoping the extra weight on a small gasser will work out OK. The SV26 shold be here tomorrow I hope. I will test it will some differernt props(16x8, 17x8, 18x6 & 18x8) and post the finding here.

I called em yesterday, and I was told that they will get more in at the end of december, so we won't be seeing ours until mid Jan I think. I don't have anything to put mine on as of yet, unless it will work on my Super Skybolt, but it's more of a 91 four stroke size plane. I have a magnum 70 on it now, and it's kinda under powered. If I can make it work on there, i'll use a 3 bladed prop for the ground clearance. If it won't work, i'll save my pennies and get a 120 size Super Stearman or something. My friend Greg is putting his on a Goldberg Monster Pitts, which has a 120 Saito on it now. My goal is too completely get away from glow engines. They simply cost too much for a poor guy like me to fly every day. I've been spending $80.00 a month to fly my 4 planes, and thats sick ! I think gas would put me down to the $20.00 a month.

You won't ever regret switching from glow to gas, for no more dead sticks, overly messy models to wipe down or carb needles that need to be fiddled with each time you go to fly and most importantly it only costs pennies to fly gas.

I hope you guys luck out and get good engines. Personally, anytime I see TomyRCModels pop up in a thread promoting something I usually go the other way.

I dunno Al, I saw a video of a guy running his SV26, and it seemed to run very nicely. Im not at all worried about supreme performance, as long as it runs smoothly and reliably. I generally fly around at about 1/2 throttle, so im sure it will suit my purpose.

Al Lewis

Like I said, I really do wish you guys the best of luck and hope they turn out to be great engines.

China huh? 7.62 mm chinese manufactured rounds have been removed from the bodies of American troops. Known carsonagenics, lethal amounts of lead and chemicals that have been banned in the US for years are found in childrens toys from china. Don't forget the thousand of pet deaths from poison laced chinese pet food. I try not to buy any of there stuff.

PAPE

I am not trying to be rude but, now adays almost everything you buy is made in china. All you said is true, but stuff like the computer u use, to the car you drive, have many thng that are MADE IN CHINA.

look under your mouse and see for your self.

I my self hate the fact that almost everithing now is made in china but thats just how it is.

You use a 35 to 40cc gas engine on a 160 glow sized model, or you will not have enough power. Gas is always considerably weaker than glow for the same displacement.

My 70 to 91 size Super Skybolt should have plenty of power with the 26cc gas engine. May have to add a bit of tail weight though.

Hello.

I have tried the GRPro 50cc twin. It is in my Cap 232 vs 2,07mtr. It spins apc 20x10" prop 7000rpm on the ground, the engine starts easily and has up to now been working good. Alfonso at GRPro claims that 50cc single spins 20x10" at 7600rpm ( not tested by me ). In the future I hope to test more of these engines, since we are planning to sell these engines in Norway.

I just recieved my SV26. Engine looks nice, but the quility of the engine is a little weak. Like you say you get what you pay for. The engine does not have any oil in the cylnder to protect the rings and the Walbro carb looks to small. It is a WT731 and it looks like the venturi is less that 8mm. I will change the carb out to a walbro wt201. It has a 13mm venturi. I think the engine will run a lot better with a bigger carb. This engine also does not have a choke. This is very poor in my opion becasue it would make it very hard to start once installed inside a cowl. I will try and get some test runs on it this week and post the results here.
