Re: Big German No I'm not John and it will take every ounce of energy I have not to Just have some big committments on other aircraft and motors in the works and need to save all I can for those. I love that swap meet more than Toledo, not as big but better deals and more friends than you can shake a stick at. Take some doe and have fun John Bill |

Re: Big German hey bill, i know what you mean... i can just touch the keys of a piano and know what i'm dealing with, but i have bought a few used motors that "looked" ok, but couldn't get them to run worth a darn. are you going to the swap meet? john |

Re: Big German If it is NIB the motor will be excellent not sure what to tell you John I know a good one when I fondle it for a few minutes but there are so many things to look for. Most of the time if the motor is very clean and bearings smooth, no broken parts etc. you will be fine. Bill |

Re: Big German I believe it is just one of the production engines Rob. Excellent condition but no paperwork or box. I just like the really rare and oddball stuff, nice for show and tell Bill |

Re: Big German That looks like a hand made prototype. Is it? Or is it a production engine? Production. Here is some info on it: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1303675 Rob |

Re: Big German Hey Bill My guess is since it is a European engine it will need next to no nitro. Maybe just 2 % to 5% for a clean idle. It should crank a big prop though. Your Cox engines and all of mine are having a great time together LOL! Just like long lost friends. I heard chatter from the basement all night... Just imagine if they could talk? All the stories they would have. I have way too many engines. Hey wait a minute, the London swap is next Sunday, more engines. Life is good. Frank |

Re: Big German Well I ran her up this morning, not a real screamer but definately an a$$ kicker. Started first flip and with a bit of leaning on the high speed and quite a bit of leaning on the low speed she managed to gobble up a 10oz tank on an 18x8 in about 2min. Yes it's a thirsty one and somewhat of an anvil but none the less extremely If I don't fly it maybe I'll shape some aluminum on it Bill |
