Spring 2011 Gas engine project

[Sempai-mj]

Spring is around the corner, my first gaser 17cc!

[Burning Head]

Great work Michael:)

[David Janashvili]

Perfect Michael!!!

[beto9]

In order to compensate for all the horrible noise that Mike will make flying his plane I will bring to the field this one...
Seagull Edge 540 (I seem to be fixated in the Edges, they are sweet flying planes)
.46 to .55 glow

Replaced by:
E-flite Power .60 motor
Castle Ice ESC 100 (quite a bit of overkill here!)
5s or 6s lipos, will see.
I hope the battery (and the plane with it!) will fly....

Tino flew one of this last season...

[beto9]

PS: Mike, it was not my intention to steal your thunder... (pun intended!)

[Burning Head]

All we need now Michael , is a noise reduction:D Albert, for a .60 E-flite a 100A ESC could be too huge . I mean the motor max burst is 60A, to be safe a 70A should be ok:)

Yes, but I don't know what my next project will be....

[Burning Head]

Copy:) Well I am not a great lawyer;) so... if you want to proced with the next step Michael:cool:

[Sempai-mj]

Albert, perhaps you should build a Lightning, so I'll be the thunder and you the lightning!:D:D

[Sempai-mj]

Well Albert perhaps to your dissmay the engine started this morning in my driveway on the first turn:), ran 1/2 Tank of fuel, it's cold out and I think my neighbor is not too pleased with me.:D

[Burning Head]

Did you find the way to build a noise reductor for your 17cc muffler:)

[Sempai-mj]

Yes Richard, I have them made. My next test is to install one in my muffler and see how much I can reduce the noise, when I find the right size that works I'll configure the same for your engine.

[Burning Head]

Thanks Michael for the work done:cool: I am far to be press so take your time:)

[Sempai-mj]

I had a thought, Albert will like this becuase it involves an electric solution.....
I'll stuff a small electric motor into the tail pipe to reduce some noise:D:D:D:D

[Burning Head]

:D:Dgood one, keep the 3 wire out from the pipe:D:D to show that's a EP convertion

Better stick a big lipo and then we have some fun in the air...

[Burning Head]

:D:D The lock as be change at the gate. But who fix a pit table like a surgery one with secession war tool near...:o please try on the parker brother operation games before:D:D

[Sempai-mj]

Installed the Main wings and Spars today. Next step find Futaba R617FS receiver and install.

[Sempai-mj]

Installed the cowl tonight, this week I'll attempt to get the C of G right.

[Burning Head]

Great work Michael. but I think you will have to open a bit more the cowling for colding your gas motor. The motor head need to be clear:cool: maybe a little one inch window on top of the cowling could help but waite for other opinion

[Sempai-mj]

Bon point Richard,

The other side of the cowl where the muffler is, is really open because I had to cut it a lot to get the cowl over the muffler.
Do I need inlet cooling vents in the front of the cowl?
or
Letting the heat exhaust is enough?

[beto9]

Experience says that the hot air has to have an outlet twice (at least) as big as the inlet.

[Mick]

Hey Mike, a great plane for towing up a glider, easy to install a tow release just behind the wing.

[Sempai-mj]

Not a problem MIck, once it get used to me flying it, or may be the other way around:)

[Kevin Rochon]

Michael there's no air going on the cylinder head in front:confused:

[Burning Head]

That is sade then we have to destroy I mean open the cowling of our planes to fix those gas motor. I remouve around 1/4 of the cowl to fit my 26cc on a great planes Sterman plus I make a windows with a screen on the top of the cowling

[Kevin Rochon]

yep gas engines feeds on cowls:D

[Sempai-mj]

Thanks Guys,
I guess I will get out my dremel, again....

[Burning Head]

open it a litle bit but Keep a one inch halo of the cowling around the shaft

[Glenn Hole]

What will we do without a dremel:D
