Hey Jim, Is there a way to turn the fuel nipple on the carb so that it will face a different direction? I put some turning pressure on it and it didn't seem to want to turn. I didn't go any harder, I didn't want to snap it off. |

You can turn it around,it's a plastic piece molded around a brass insert, pressed into the carb body.. Put some JB weld around the bottom to stop the leak...Takes about 2 minutes.... There are some metal inlets that fit the same hole on Tillotson carbs and some Walbro carbs... Walbro part number for the plastic inlet is 128-218...Bennettbuilt.com has metal inlets...

Hello First post here, 15 years ago flew Giant scale and had a blast. I recently got back into the hobby and bought a few electrics but I miss the big ones. I only had one small gas engine back then it was a Zenoah G23 and I would buy ceiling hangers from the hobby shop and stuff that thing into them. You guys would laugh you ass of if you could have seen some of those things flying, some of them blew apart in flight, I lawn darted that engine several times and it never hurt it!! I put it in several 60 size stick built planes and just flew them up. The rest of the fleet flew on G62's and Sach 4.2 to 5.8's. I used to buy G62's 6 at a time for 240.00 a piece. then the at6 racing started and it was the end of that price. I think I'm going to buy one of these engines? will you guys help me decide what to put it in? I liked flying the extra series 260, 300. However I really like the looks of these Yaks (flew a real size yak once and it was fun). Thanks, Gabriel |

I don't know what kind of budget you are on. The 74" wingspan Aeroworks Yak 54 (1.20 ) is a excellent plane, a complete high quality arf. But it is on the pricey side. $379.99 http://aero-works.net/store/detail.aspx?ID=288 The 63" wingspan Seagull models Yak 54 (.90) is also a very nice plane. I would just up grade some hardware items ( hinges for one ). $199.00 http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=SEA5000 My small Yak is the 71" wingspan WillHobby Yak 54 ( 1.40 ) This won't be a good choice for a 26cc motor. I have a Brillelli 36cc in mine and still had to add nose weight. All up RTF weight is 14lb 2oz. I would say that it is to much for any 26cc motor. $150.00 on E-Bay. http://cgi.ebay.com/WillHobby-NIB-Re...QQcmdZViewItem I put my GF26I in a 64" wingspan Seagull Laser 200. I had a OS Max 1.60FX in it and the GF26I is even better in the plane then the OS. I am able to turn a Xoar 18 X 6 @7750rpm where I only was getting 7250 rpm with a Master Airscrew wooden 18 X 6 on the OS. All up weight on the Laser is just under 12 lbs. I only will use metal gear servos in gasoline powered plane. I found that a gasoline engines vibration makes plastic gear servos sloppy and then strip |
