i have been busy for some time but now i am back. i drilled the brass insert on my gms engine.. i have now flown it 4 flights 0 dead sticks. this engine is now better than any os engine i have ever saw. all i did was take a drill bit and drilled the brass insert to the size of my fuel nipple. now it works great and i can put any g on it i want.

Which engine ?

Wayne MIller · 07-08-2005, 06:59 PM

Hi Planeswithwings,

Hope it was the posting here at RCC that helped, if so, I'm glad I could help - I'm getting a lot of good reports about the modification!

Mine is working well, and for the price of the engine, I'm really pleased.

Hello Wayne,

Could you please tell us what you did with your GMS engine to make
it run better, what fuel do you use and.......... Many thanks

Hi,

The engine was a GMS .47 and fuel I used was Omega 15%, but I'm going to be trying Cool Power Heli 15% this week. The plug I used is a Fox R/C Long - but any equivalent plug seems to work OK. I'll see if I can find the Glow Plug cross reference site and post the link in this thread.

The modifications are posted here at RCC:
https://www.rccanada.ca/bb/viewtopic.php?t=14591

I'll get the original site where I first identified the problems and post the link here as well, but I should warn you it is a long thread with many things being tried, and many people being involved before narrowed down the problem.

Please keep us up to date on how the mod worked for you, thanks!

I'm off to get the other links.

Hope the above helps.
