Why do you need to run it in, have you renovated the engine?
@jsa20012 ай бұрын
Because its brand new and if you fail to run any ic engine in you get premature wear of engine components and it wont last as long. The engine has good steady revs now.

Got a lot of crankshaft wobble. Is the front crankcase bearing any good or is this just customary with diesel engines
@jsa20012 ай бұрын
It's an optical illusion, no wobble there and the moulding of the prop makes it look even worse.

A wonderful celebration of a great pioneer of powered flight. Well done Percy and the people who in 2003 proved that his heavier than air machine may have well flown successfully …with a few refinements. My only criticism: the film never mentions that other great early pioneer of powered flight, John Stringfellow (1799-1883), who flew a steam powered model aircraft down the length of a disused mill in Chard, Somerset in 1848 and which may have succeeded in travelling 60 yards or more. As you enter the town of Chard, a sign says something to the effect ‘Welcome to Chard, the home of powered flight.’ So dear Wright brothers, you can’t claim all the glory for the invention of powered flight! 😊
@hughloxdale46172 ай бұрын
According to the book ‘An Ancient Air’ by Harald Penrose, Smithsonian Institution Press, Washington DC, (1989), suggests that the flight of 1848 was only 40 yards, but different sources give different values.

Pretty sure you can get a pinion from Tamiya that specially deals with this problem? # 3515006 18T Pinion Gear (MD11) is the oart nuumber. Fits fine on the 540. It's the original pinion from the Hornet which I believe had the same chassis but a 540 motor. The whole hop ups and compatibility thing is a nightmare. Tamiya don't make it easy.

THE UNIT IS GOING INTO STANDBY MODE 9:28 "the company recommends you leave it on the full amount, basically " ACTUALLY THEY DON'T What they say is.... To ensure longevity of life they recommend turning down the heat and increasing the windspeed , but keeping it as low as possible so as to not unnecessarily load the unit. They don't say crank it up, they say , Try and keep the Temp down as much as possible Increase the windspeed instead, but only as much as is necessary I've got mine on 5.5 Speed works fine
