I have purchased one of these and I need to find an inverted Pitts style wrap around muffler for it. Does anyone know who makes these please, or does anyone know what other manufacturers have the same exhaust port dimensions? I am also trying to find a soft mounting system to use.

Ok..so I'm ready to buy one for my 25% Extra 300. Questions first. 1, Where can I get the drill pattern/location for fitting to firewall? 2, What battery should I buy for ignition? 3, What length standoff's do I need? Any help with this would be greatly apreciated
1. You can put the engine at firewall and mark then. 2. I used rechargable batteries, but I had misfire, moved to UBEC (3A) with lipo battery (750Mha 2S), and now works for hours and have the same weight. 3. I didn't use HC standoff, I used extension of 5cm. But, need at least a 2 cm (0.78").

I just tried running the engine, and all i get is maybe 15-seconds running then it quits. I put choke on, flip untill it fires, turn choke off, then flip it some more. Does anyone know why it wants to quit and not run?

I'm not a fan of piston-port side-draft engines for RC model use. It's often really hard to hide the carby inside a cowl and even when you do, the fact that air ends up blowing *across* the carb intake often means that it's difficult to get smooth, reliable operation at all throttle settings. The rear-intake reedvalve engines are (in my experience) much easier to set up and provide more power.

I ordered this engine and I am inpressed on the work man ship. If you need a good Pitts style muffeler go here. ***********troybuiltmodels****/items/REPITTS50.html For the money you can't beat it.

I've been thinking of building a 1/4 scale sprint car, the gas motors that are designed for these are very expensive compared to these. Has anyone used one of these motors an a land based vehicle? Is there a reason I haven't seen these at the track?

Does the igniton have one or two magnets on the axe. If it have two of them what is the angle between magnets (for the hall sensor for the input signal to CDI ignition) on the axe. Is it 180 degreas or 120 degreas. Did the motor when starting try to run back? Thank You in advance for answers.

It's my 2nd day on this site, & it appears as if, nobody gets their questions answered by anybody.?. Why is this? My first question I placed under a discussion, I got an e-mail notice that someone responded, & I checked,there was nothing there.
I am going to try this a second time. I have an 8lb. Carl Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 biplane, & I would like to know if this particular engine, would be too much for it? I like what I've heard on these engines & I was first thinking of going with Fuji-Imvac but, it requires an expensive 2 cycle oil. My biplane is supposed to be 8 lbs. without any equipment inside it yet.I am adding at least 2 lbs. to the weight rhetorically, approximating the assumed weight once everything is installed. I want 3D aerobatic capability, of course, & I'll be adding a smoke system. Which should also add more weight. So, what would be a reasonable weight assumption, with a 2.4ghz Rx, 2 tanks of fuel(1 for gas*1 for smoke), & the added weight of the engine? It is a scale size bipe.Please provide me with some input.Thank you.I just jumped into this RC hobby a couple of weeks ago.I am barely getting my first Tx next week.7ChFutaba

this engine is designed to fly a 15 pound airplane 3D. 10 pounds is a bit small for this engine. This engine takes the same fuel oil pre mix as zenoa. In order to tell you this is the correct engine we would need a wing span and or wing loading. 27% scale 3D is a typical 50cc airplane like a cap 232 with an 80 inch wing span at 14 pounds.

You seem to have very little experience and knowledge of this hobby. First of all your Carl Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 is NOT a beginners aircraft, more like a 4th or 5th. I suggest you start with a trainer type or a cheap electric EPP plane. If you will fly the Ultimate without any further experience you will take off only once and take it home in a plastic bag. You are asking your RC-basic questions on a site that sells stuff, better to ask your questions on a RC-forum, more people there and more answers. Once you get the better hang of it it will be easier to shop around.
The 50cc engine is way to big for your airplane. It will fly (heavy)(but not in your hands right now)with 20cc 2stroke petrol, but you better look in to a methanol .60-90 2c or a .91-1.20 4c.

I have the Goldberg Ultimate ARF with a SV 26 and a 16x8 prop. Perfect power, and I like things over powered. Hovers at half throttle. Ailerons don't have alot of authority for stopping a torque roll. They really need to be enlarged.
Son of Paleface (453 points);
If you are HOVERING there is NO airflow over the ailerons , unless they are in the prop wash Elevons (elevator and aileron mix)is one way , but difficult to set up :-)
Buy this engine if you have CB 300-10 of 54". This is hardly model and when you put smoke+tank, bat, etc... More hard. My friend have exactly this plane with Saito 180 !!! This engine is very lite, you will be happy to 3D flights * )
I have yak54 88" and my other friend cap232 69" with engine ! I know ! Will be great !
I liked the 45 so much, I just had to buy the 52. Came in a little over two weeks, regular air mail. The packaging was superior to the more expensive XY engines I purchased, one of which had some bent fins from the poor packaging of XY. Not so with the FTL. It is tighly packed in a preformed styrafoam casing, comes with tools and the machine and caste work rivals my DA 100 and looks better than any of my 3Ws. Have only run the engine once and it started right up. Now I need to find a model to put it on.
Like I said, the 45 makes as much power and turns almost the identical RPMs as the XY 50 using the same props, so once the 52 gets loosened up, it should be terrific.
I like the carburator on the 52 over the 45, the choke is of the traditional variety, rather than the release with throttle type that came with the 45. It weighs almost the same as the 45, mounts the same, so almost identical engine as 45, escept for cc's and carb.
I think I'll shop for a large profile fun fly for this engine, it would be ashamed to cover it up with a cowl.

In 7 days I received the engine. The quality of the engine, accessories and packaging is fantastic. When I started the engine, another surprise, is very strong!
i have 2 of these engines and a friend has 1 and we both love this engine. it has good power for planes around 27% and if you keep the plane around 15 to 16 pounds flying weight ,it will have unlimited vertical with a 20/8 prop. one of these engines powers my 33% spacewalker and it has no problem pulling her through the sky and the other is in a 27% extra 260 and it really hauls ass. its not a da or a dl but it is a reliable, strong and very well made and the quality of this engine gets better every time i buy one and i will be buying more as i am resurrecting a 27% cap 232 and you guessed it , this is the engine that will be going in it also.
p.s. the quality of the muffler as gone way up since the first engines.....way to go HK

Stock muffler is very loud. That's the reason for "only" 4 stars. However, engine runs smoothly, provides OK power for my U-Can-do Giant. After 18 running hours, power has increased, and it produces 6200 RPM on a Hawk 22x10. That's approx 12 Kg static thust (with a 160 size purple-pipe!)

Delivery and packaging excellent. I have just over one gallon through it, but the engine performs well. 6,800 rpm on a Mejlyk 20x10 fuel at 40:1 using Castrol 2T mineral based oil Using j'tec wrap around pitts muffler to reduce noise have modified the carb with remote pressure line - gives good response and transition. Using NGK plug. Flying performance (14lb AW Extra 260 35cc) at 7,000 ft ASL, very good.

I received my 52 in just over a week. I opened the package to inspect the contents and it loooked great. After I looed inside the exhaust port there was some old oil but with metal shavings in it. The shaving apear to be from machining not from running. So I pulled the engine apart to clean. This was not dificult and I found all components to be of good quality. Reasembled the engine and all is well. 4 stars since I had to clean it out myself.
Super engine, easy to start and great power! No need to buy zenoah or other...

Excellent engine, especially for the price. A fellow club member has this engine and due to the excepitional performance has convinced several others to buy one as well. Great power, very dependable, yet a fraction of the price of other 50cc engine
