I remember pretty much everyone used to put a pressure tap into the muffler/tuned pipe of their RC engines to pressurize the fuel tank(s). The advantage of using a pressure tank I guess is that you don't need to prime the engine to get it to start. Those Kolm engines are amazing!

Seems like getting cooling air to that rear cylinder could be a bit of a challenge. I am not at all familiar with these engines, but seems like some kind of shroud assembly inside the cowl could be a good idea. I probably would have even drilled a few outlet holes in the backwall of the engine test stand right behind the rear cylinder head for the test run.

@thelightersideofrc Жыл бұрын

Great eye! Yea the cooling system is very well thought out by the Airplane Manufacture it's going in. Very specific to this engine.
