Looking good, Will work very nicely

On my Sbach i can reach though the scoop at the front and press on the butterfly to open and close But i may close the Scoop, See hoe we go.

Yes, ... pictures, pics ... give us something !

I have mine on an old 107” Pilot Yak swingin a 29x9 wood prop from VVRC.. it starts very easy.. has plenty of power! It will pull my yak to the moon if i let it go.. im about 5/8 on the low and 1-3/4 on the high and it seems to be really close to being dialed in! So if it stands the test of time i will b very happy with it.

Sounds great, Glade it is running Well, im just getting mine all setup in the Sbach.

Thats the airplane I just got and shopping for engines. So do you thing its a good combo?
Thanks

From All reports the Engines seams to be a Great runner, There has been a few guys that spoke of Ign issue, But i cant speak to that personally.

As i have not run mine yet, I dont have much input into the running, However in terms of build and Quality of the engine it as good if not better than My DLE's.

How's the engine at idle? Mine has a violently rough idle... I have an early version with the Rcexel ignition. Other than that, the engine is a beast...

The 72 I had was a shaker, but you would think in a twin it wouldn't be as noticeable.

You would think that. This was while taxiing back to my station yesterday... It is a violently rough idle!!!

Got any Vids of the idle?

I would have liked if you said it had so much power!!!! it ripped off the firewall.

Such a shame.

Looks like your missing the Aluminium L brackets that bolt from the firewall to the motor box,,,,,,,,

My 100cc Sbach has them. Just dawned on my then.

it needs some more reinforcement. But naturally bad shaking etc will not help the situation.

No video unfortunately. But it has a ton of power!! If I can get the idle smoothed out so it doesn't shake the plane apart, it will be a fabulous motor...

I got the firewall back in today and reinforced with alluminum angle stock bolted in. I will put new plugs in and try the ignition module from my GP and see what I get...
