Thanks Aidan, sorry for late reply, i found a bunch of my youtube emails in my spam folder, not sure why but hope i have it fixed now, hope all is well in Irland my friend, talk to you soon, Terry

Thank tou very much and happy flyin' to you to my friend

Thank you, good luck with your your break in, happy flyin' to ya my friend

Thank you and welcome to nitro, i have several electrics as well but i love my nitro and gasser planes to, it a lot of fun, they are easy to tune and love the sound, the nitro fuel is a little oily and messy but just keep you a spray bottle of windex or i like denatured alcahol the best and a roll of paper towls and it's easy to clean up, i just got home from flying all day myself LOL. Take care my friend, Terry

You are welcome, hope it helps. Nitro's are a lot of fun, take care my friend

Thank you, glad it helped you out, theres not really much to them. Good lick on your build, hope all goes well. Take care and Happy New Year my friend

***** Have you ever built an onboard generator to run off the engine to run your electrical components rather than having a battery. or a way to recharge the batteries as your flying with the power of the Engine? Its something I am looking at doing. In your opinion would this be feasible?

I have never built one or used one, i have seen them that you can buy to put in your planes and they keep the batt's charged but i can't remember where i saw it at, pretty neat idea. I would like to see one and see how well it works, if you build one let me know how it turns out, take care my friend

***** I think I will develop this Idea. Its something I don't see much of and cant understand why. It would really make Flight times increase a lot. Plane would be heavier but not enough to make that big of a difference.

Cool deal, keep me posted on how it goes, here is my email, just contact me there whitetail7mag@yahoo.com Take care my friend, Terry

Thanks buddy

Thank you my friend

+Russ Hazard wow that is strange, have the stick all the way down and the trim to the bottom and my two stroke's will fluid every time, I guess I must be doing something else wrong. thanks for the tip thugh

When an engine is inverted, you often have to lower the fuel tank to keep the center line of the tank in line with the carb. If it's too high then you may be getting fuel syphoning out of the tank.

Ok never thought of that, thanks for the tip, i will look it over and see, i only have one two stroke nitro now that's inverted, i have a couple of four stroke nitro inverted but don't have any problem with those just the two strokes, thanks again for your help. Take care my friend, Terry

No problem, hope you can find a solution. ;-)

Yes OS is very good brand and also the Thunder Tiger, i have a couple of those to and the perform well

Oh yes on your question, if they set for a long time without any type of after run oil in them you will most likley have rusted bearings, that's usually the main thing, rings and cylinder sleeves are generally ok from setting

Luvtoflyhelis I ordered new bearings, just need to install. Thanks. Awesome videos. I learned more from you than any other video. I did find the fuel tank plug leaks on both RC nitro powered plane and airboat. I am replacing all fuel lines, plugs, everything up to the engine. I am investing in a sonic cleaner too.

Hello, it's a fuel fill valve that you need, i put the link to the one i use on my inverted nitro engines. Also after filling the tank leave your throttle trim on your radio all the way down so the the throttle barrel is closed untill you ate ready to start the engine, sometimes if your trim is set to "run" position the fuel will leak into the engine while setting there, the fuel valve forms a plug to the carb line while the fuel probe is pluged in while filling but when you pull the prob out after filling the the carb line is open so thats why you want to leave your trim in closed position to keep fuel from seeping into the carb until you are ready to start the engine. Hioe this helps my friend, Terry www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXD745&P=ML

Luvtoflyhelis Thank you for your prompt reply. i will check it out and let you know how it goes.

Any time my friend

bschak regular use on thous?

I still use them a lot.

Check the fuel inlet nipple. Make sure it isn't plugged and is tight.

Hey Frank, i would never use WD40 as after run oil, it gas moisture in it and after setting a while it can actually cause rust, netter to use like a 3 in 1 oil or some kind of gun oil. Hope this helps my friend, Terry

Two or three drops of sewing machine oil is what I use

AMANDA, GROW UP!

Thanks my friend, i would run an 11x6 on the 46 or you can run a12x5 but you won't have as much ground clearance and the 11x6 will fly it very well. I had an OS 55 AX on mine in the beginning with a 12x5 and every pass on the radar gun we got 88-89 mph, the 46 AX with the 11x6 prop will do just about the same, maybe just a couple of mph less. Hope your build goes good, you can't beat a stick for some great flying bud, keep me posted, take care, Terry

***** Thanks! Great videos too!

Thank you, i will watch some more of yours as well this weekend

Thank you, the plane is called a Twister, it was an old kit from i think Lanier, my buddy Ken has the plans and built it for me from scratch, they fly very well and are a lot of fun

Hi Dustin, not sure how much help I will be trying to teach you from all the way up here in Northwest Arkansas but i will ne more than happy to help you any way i can. Cool that you inherited some planes, are they in good shape or have they been flown recently ir have they been setting for a while ? Are they Nitro and or gas ? Here is my email, you can contact me there any time and we'll see what you need to do to get started whitetail7mag@yahoo.com Thanks, Terry

Nitro heli's are a blast but yes at some point you will have one flame out on you, i am sure glad i had practiced auto rotations on the sim, i flew a Raptor 50 for 3-1/2 years and never had a flame out but then i bought two T Rex 700 nitro and within a month i had one blow a glow plug at about 150 ft high, bout had a heart attack but i auto'ed it down perfect then my 2nd 700 had a fuel pump go out and i was able to get it down safe as well so keep practicing LOL. Take care my friend

Hi Frank, generally the factory setting on the low end runs great, i've only had one or two that i had to ajust very little, the four stroke engines are slightly more sensitive than a two stroke but the four stroke is my favorite nitro engine.

Oh yeah on Evoloution, i have only had two Evo two stroke engines but both started and ran well, i just prefer OS engines, i have OS nitro two stroke, four stroke and several gas, love them, out of probably 75-80 OS engines that i've owned i've only had one that ever gave me any trouble. Hope this helps, take care, Terry

No need to worry about rpm while setting this, the rpm range on low end is just a suggestion, i don't worry about low end rpm, i like to set mine to the idle i prefer and you do that with your trim and sub trim not the low end neddle, hope this helps

I've been planning to buy the Magnum XL 52 RFS Blue Four Stroke. I read through the tuning and break in procedure on a PDF file and although your tuning suggestion is different from what the Magnum instructions indicate, it seems to me that your instructions in doing this is much easier and simple from the Magnum Instructions. ** Before going through the procedure that you suggested, by tuning the High Speed needle to the Mid Way Point ( between Rich and Lean = just on the Rich Side ), should I just allow the new engine to run at the 2-1/2 turns to Rich for 5 minutes at idle, then shut down and allow the engine cool off first, before going full throttle to tune ? I ask because the engine would be new out of the box.

Hi Chance, i'm really sorry for getting back to you so late, i've had a really hard week, lost my best little buddy in the world last Sunday night, my litte long hair Dachshund Gopher. Anyway the low end neddle should be turned out until it is flush with the crack case, this is approxamently the factory setting, when the low end is set right you should be able to let it idle for about a min then be able to throttle it up quickly without it bogging or dieing, if it's to rich it will die or bog down and hesitate before finally picking up rpm. Also if there is any ait leak at all the engine will act the same way, it will die when trying to go from low speed to full throttle, even a front barring seal can leak air and cause this, check all your fuel lines and tank stopper and make sure no air is getting in, look at the front of the engine as it is running and see if there is any fuel drip coming out around the barring. Hope this helps my friend and again so sorry for getting back to you so late, take care, Terry

Well i have an OS 40 and an OS 15 max but no 30, sorry i thought i might have had one, the only 30 i have is an OS 30 four stroke

okay ty

Then you are getting moisture in your fuel, you have to store your nitro in a cool room out of sunlight, you cannot set it on concrete like a garage floor or even out on the ground for any length of time or it will draw moisture into your jung of fuel, i have been flying nitro for over 8 years now and i have never had one rust and i have never used a drop of after run oil, i i see people running there carb dry after flying, if you do this then it will rust but if you leave what little fuel is in the carb and engine then the alcohol evaperates and leaves the oil content in the engine, never had one rust in 8 years. Take care my friend

I would say set both high and low back to factory settings and start from there, it doesn't take much tuning to get it out of wack so far it won't run, there are many other factors to look at as well, could be an air leak in a fuel line, fuel tank, front baring seal could be bad and leaking air, it would be hard for me to say without seeing the engine but start by setting it back to factory settings and see what happens. Take care my friend

Thank you very much .

You are very welcome, hope that info helped, take care my friend

+david david I would stay away from the LA series and stick with the AXs. The remote needles on the LAs tend to suck in air because of the fuel line distance from the carburetor. The AX motors are built with ballbearings which help things running smoothly.

Never had a problem with the LA's , very good motors !

Yes i run 15% cool power in my two stroke’s and four strokes for years now

Ok thanks for the reply! I think I will do the same.

Any time my friend

Ok one more question friend! I have an OS 10 LA and a OS 15 both pretty small engines, can I run 15% nitro on this little ones as well???

Yes you sure can, i have a couple of those as well, the only difference on the LA and the FX/AX engines in the LA models are bushings and the others have bearings, you can rebuild the ones with bartings but the LA models when they wear out they are done but i have a couple of the LA models and they have many many hours of flight time on them and are still going strong, they are great little engines. Take care my friend, Terry

You put motorcycle two stroke oil in your engine? LOL

You need to use a high quality nitro fuel like 15% Cool Power or Wildcat, you should never put motorcycle oil in it, my advise is flush it out really good, put a new glow plug in it and get some good nitro fuel and try that, start your high speed neddle at 2-1/4 turns out from closed, this will be running rich at this setting and then work it in clockwise a little at a time untill you get the right mixture, if it still won't run or dies then you have some other problem like an air leak around the front barring or maybe in the carburater, there is also a low speed needle you need to check as well, generaly this should be set so the screw head is flush with the engine casing to start with. Hope this helps, take care my friend

Hi there, i don't think it will work, even if it would bolt up to the motor mount airplane engines are setup a lot different than truck engines, the carburetors are a lot different, i've never known of anyone doing this but i guess you could try it and see what happens just be sure and use airplane nitro and not car fuel, nitro and oil misture is a lot different. Hope this helps my friend, Take care, Terry

Hello, i think i have an OS 25 max but not sure if i have a 30, i can look through my stash and see. There are a couple on ebay as well rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F282772960228

if you do what would you want for it

If i have one i would take $60 and thats shipped if you are in the USA, i will go look in my stuff and see what i have, i have several good OS engines, Terry here’s my email whitetail7mag@yahoo.com
