I had same problem on my fa 50 the noise is a combo of cam and piston i have 2 and both sound the same i do have access to our machine shop at work if you want i will straighten the crankshaft for you as the weight goes i the 45-50-56 all use the same crankshaft SAI5623A as a replacement i would say it would be ok as for early and late from what i can see they list the same rod and piston

Surprised that Cox was not represented here. So many of us started with them. Still remember that castor oil smell in the circle. The FP series was great but before them were the OS MAX (baffle port piston) motors that powered many first RC Planes. The third choice is tough, but many old RC guys have owned a K&B .40.

V blocks, dial caliper with mag base, hammer, brass drift. With these you can straighten a bent crank if its not bent too badly. I straightened a bent crank on a Supertiger 90. It came out absolutely perfect.

I saw that engine run for about 1 minute. It was in a P51 Mustang. Unfortunately my friend used a single conversion 72 MHZ reciever and he lost control seconds after take-off. I disassembled the engine to see if I thought I could straighten the crankshaft. The weight difference is probably because of the smaller thread diameter. I was using the muffler on one side of my FA 100T.

This is an awesome RC system. I used this kind of system for my racing boats in the past, it never failed. My transmitter looks pretty much the same but the model is different. It is FP-T7FG/K and it runs at 72.080 MHz, FG series (FM). Unfortunately my system is not in such a good condition anymore as I used it really a lot in the past but still a nice piece of history. Thanks for sharing.

massive advantage of the old stuff? range. they dont care about a few wet leaves in the way. steel sheds... blah blah... i have my old 36mhz still in use... whereas not one of my more modern 2.4's actually work without some type of glitch. yeah, dont turn them on without the aerial. it may just look like steel tube but its an active element with an AC impedance at the operating frequency, and without it theres no load on the Tx circuit and pop, things start to smoke... you want something from the fifties, mechanical PWM for proportional control. ie, little drums driven by motors, each one wrapped with a wedge of copper shim to make a variable contact, 0% at one end, 100% at the other, 50% midway... and the servo is a motor acting against a spring... the sort of thing that would make for a fun little project... different, be a change from the glut of "arduino" and other BS videos...

I found a setting called allow automatic dubbing. I turned it OFF. This is a new ‘feature’ that I was sent an email about. "Automatic dubbing generates translated audio tracks in different languages to make your videos more accessible to viewers around the world. Videos with these audio tracks are marked as “auto-dubbed” in the video description. Viewers can always switch to the original audio track or to another available language in the video settings. Automatic dubbing isn’t yet available for all creators, and you can only manage it on KZbin Studio on your computer. This feature is turned on by default. When you upload a new video, dubs will be automatically generated. These dubs will be published automatically for non-experimental languages. Note: Automatic dubbing helps make info more accessible globally, even though not all videos can be successfully or accurately dubbed. Dubs are generated automatically, so they might contain errors due to mispronunciations, accents, dialects, or background noise in the original video. We may also have challenges translating proper nouns, idioms, and jargon. Other issues may arise with speech recognition, like matching the voice used for dubbing to the original voice. You, or someone who speaks the target language, can review dubs before publication."

Interesting story about the Saito. As for me personally... I dont have much of a history on glow but i do have 3 i can name... And the list will continue to grow as time goes on. 1. Cox .049 - had one on a control line plane that me and my dad "attempted" to fly one time when i was a kid. Probably late 80's/early 90s. The flight lasted a few seconds. Not sure what happened to it after that. 2. Magnum XL40... Engine on my first ever RC plane (Right Flyer 40T). Ran the engine some with my dad, never flew the plane. Sold it all some years later. 3. Super Tigre G2300... Absolute beast of an engine. My teaching tool... Both in terms of how to run these things AND teaching me more about patience. And i should mention, i love the sound of it.

David.. those are super cool radios. ATV is servo travel..so you set the travel..then the dual rate is more or less of that travel. I have a 6 channel "moduled" version of that radio, and hope to one day find a receiver for it..The batteries in these are weird..If I remember correctly, they have are the standard 9.6v 8 cell..but they have a dummy battery in it to take up space. Mine was corroded so I pulled it. You can buy them from batteries America...but pretty spendy. Be careful with the screws around the perimeter, the plastic tends to crack..When you open it, take a look at the wires connected to the gimbals.. Your throttle is working, but nothing else, so there might be a broken wire in there. I just repaired one on an old radio I have..very weird, but these are getting older and more brittle. Awesome radios!!

My weapons of choice when working on the McCoy 40 I was working on, ( Im no expert & mainly into old briggs engine & auto stuff & not sure if this is applicable). I disassemble the engine as much as possible but it's always 50/50 whether or not the cylinder is stuck in the crankcase... it was. #1 So I boiled it. Small pot filled with water & once it's bubbling I let it all cook for 20 minutes, Smells great & it loosened up a bunch of sludge.When finished I strained it out & used oven mitts & popped the cylinder out and laid it out on some paper towels, dried it off while the metal is hot then sprayed with WD40 to stop flash rusting. #2 Parts still had some residue so I used Berrymans Chem dip carburetor parts cleaner & let soak for 1/2hr, stuff works very well. I then rinsed off parts in the utility sink, dried & WD40'd. #3 Some parts had surface rust or corrosion, what I like to use is a fine dico nyalox drill brush & running the drill in my vise. Its the blue brush & the bristles have abrasives mixed in the nylon, they are super flexible & gentle. It produces a fine burnished or low polished surface & works great on the McCoys rusty crankshaft, dulled brass fuel bar or corroded aluminum parts.✌👍

design of the First OS .60 four stroke & early Enya four stroke engines have similarities in both the configuration and size of the Iconic Elmer Wall designed "Water Witch" 10cc four stroke designed for tether boat racing. It was a build article in the October 1946 issue of Popular Mechanics 1. It was 10cc. 2. The lifters drove the pushrods via rear mounted, geared camshaft. 3. valve rockers were uncovered, thus easy to oil & adjust in the field. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2eleGqioJeFfac
