Love y’all channel definitely would love to get a bandit on my job boat when they get completed

Thanks! We’ll keep you updated on the progress

Love to set up but if you put a larger pulley on the motor and a smaller one on the fan you'll get more power out of the fan.

Do you recommend a 6-bladed fan for small (e.g., 5'x8') hovercraft setups?

@LoneStarHovercraft 9 күн бұрын

Depends on a couple things, if it’s for both lift and thrust, I’d use a 6 or 7 blade fan. If it’s only for thrust, I’d use a propeller like this if it’s going to be over ~40” and you intend to run it open (no duct) or go with the fan instead if it’s going to be smaller than 40” and you intend to build a duct for it.

What size v-belt are you using? Isn't that too narrow? Probably you've tested that alright

64" 3 blade prop

Do you change any internal components of the engine? Like the connecting rod, push rods, piston, value etc?

Not when we run them on mini airboats. we normally just leave them stock and tune the carb.

Where did you get the hub from. I picked up a prop but it is missing the hub

@LoneStarHovercraft 4 жыл бұрын

You can get replacement hubs directly from Competition Aircraft

Por favor donde consigo el motor con la hélice y cuánto cuesta

Would not use this engine on an aircraft. It does not use a bearing for the crankshaft. It's just a bushing.

Whether you're using direct drive or reduction drive, do you still run those engines with the governor?

@LoneStarHovercraft 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, we leave the governor on because we find it simpler to attach the linkage and we don’t need to rev past 4000 rpm. On some of these small engines the governor can make it act squirrelly (surging and hunting) so in those cases people usually adjust them or bypass them

@williamnaylor2488 2 жыл бұрын

the prop is the governor!!!!

@michiganmagneto 2 жыл бұрын

@@williamnaylor2488 not really, because after a specific rpm the aerodynamic propellers don't do anything but waste fuel. That's why you kind of want to match the max engine RPM to the max propeller RPM, factoring in a reduction drive if used.

@williamnaylor2488 2 жыл бұрын

@@michiganmagneto then why are there no governors on aircraft motors? unless you have a motor with unlimited power the pitch of the prop sets the max motor rpm! I have been building and flying aircraft for 40 years that is how we match a prop to an engine.

Curious as what the red hose is? Oil pressure gauge?

@LoneStarHovercraft 3 ай бұрын

That’s just a drain hose to make oil changes easier

Hi sir. I'm Bangladeshi. How can i buy this engine and propeller

@LoneStarHovercraft 3 жыл бұрын

We can ship the propellers world wide but I’m not certain about the engine, they are too heavy to ship internationally

How well would this work on a 14/36 jon boat

@LoneStarHovercraft 3 жыл бұрын

It would do pretty well. We normally run them with a 44” prop on a boat that size. It’ll push one person and some gear around 20 mph. It’s possible to push two people with it but with limited gear and depending on the size of the people
