Very Nice - I miss being at the German RC Shows.- near Netherlands border. The best time ever.

[@phil123711]

How beautiful is this.

[@rickautry2759]

Wow! It's gorgeous. The only thing that could make it look any better would be if it was on MY workbench! As for the cylinders being uneven, you should'a tried balancing my old Pontiac six pack!

[@paulsheather7657]

who needs porn when you have Kolm engines

[@philipbrailey]

Beautiful.

[@phil123711]

Best engine in the world.

[@kochj0713]

looks like they bolted 3 50cc singles together.... not a bad idea.... add 2.3 or evern 4 cyls on basically the same case...

[@blairknight7793]

It doesn't sound that different to my Saito FG33R3 gas radial, if you have a quality big bore exhaust ring the sound is very close, I wonder if a significant part of the awesome sound is from back cut prop tips in flight?

[@TheSamchilders]

Any vid of the mustang that it went in?

[@mcpaint73]

TheSamchilders Due to lack of time I still have not finished the Mustang. If everything goes well, then maiden will be in summer. Please check this vid of the same engine and the same Mustang (just with clipped wings) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4HRe554oZWEopo

Interesting trial run. it made noises like underwater farts.

[@RBAERO]

What is the sound like a bobbles??

[@guerrillaradio9953]

I know what you mean! I've seen a lot of R/C 4-stroke videos that have that sound, but I have never heard it in person. It must be some glitch in the way the camera records audio.

[@berniekoussoulos7432]

No electric not when motors like this are about . very sad that every one is going lekie .That motor is awesome.

[@bitemykrank1970]

This is a dilemma motor.....despite it's absolute engineering excellence and beauty, do you have it exposed and show off it off, or , do you cowl it in, and hide it's BUTT-UGLINESS.........those carbs and velos make it look almost like a Dali-esque melted 6 cylinder V. Bloody things are HUGE !!!!

[@annikavalcic6299]

Stupid Question for ya.... How many Cubic Centimeters? Yes, I see the Model is IL 200, but O.S has that IL 300 and it is 50cc...

[@mcpaint73]

Annika Valcic Yes, it has 200 ccm

[@johnnycee5179]

First engine sounds like flubber

[@Ride-Fly]

Sounds like charlie in the chocolate factory

[@afrog2666]

[@0214spitfire]

ye and people fly electric sad

[@raymondo162]

ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz

[@Electobat]

They are out of balance. An inferred gun would be useful. The mixture is not even on all cylinders.

[@mcpaint73]

+chimp3376 It was one of the very first runs with pre-adjusted carburetor setting. Indeed, the middle cylinder was a little to rich at half throttle and a 1/5th turn at L-needle fixed it. Once adjusted it runs very well at any throttle position. It just takes some time to sync all three carbs.

[@Electobat]

Wow just a 1/5th. Really cool engine will keep tuned.
