Post by: sundaram on March 11, 2014, 02:57:36 PM
This ARF Kit I picked up when I went to Pinjore this year. Came complete with everything required less the Engine and Servos.

 ???

I think there is some misunderstanding here. This is not a for sale thread. I am not sure why you need my account details.

Sundaram sir, why engine is mounted like that  ???  ???


Title: Re: Unboxing build and Fly Log ARF Phoenix Extra 300S from RCDHAMAKA
Post by: sundaram on June 13, 2014, 10:52:17 AM
Its by design the engine mount is like that. The complete engine comes inside the cowl. None of the part is outside cowl except HS needle extension and Exhaust silicon extension.

The fire wall is also provided with the required degrees tilt to the right by design.

I have heard that 9cc NGH engine is difficult to tune is it true ??


Title: Re: Unboxing build and Fly Log ARF Phoenix Extra 300S from RCDHAMAKA
Post by: sundaram on June 13, 2014, 11:12:01 AM
The provided perry pump type which runs of the crank case pressure sure does add to the complexity, but once you know the system well it not that difficult. I have posted a thread dedicated to tuning and running this engine earlier.

 Rajaram sir has same engine but he kept idle inside.

Post by: sundaram on June 13, 2014, 11:30:43 AM
By "he kept Idle inside" you mean he is not using it?

Its neither like a glow nor a conventional gas with carb. Its tuning is very different, especially since it has a blunt Low speed needle for transition from low speed to high speed and the engine is using both venturi effect of the intake as well as the fuel pump for the fuel feed.

Mine now has a 12x4 prop and at WOT is able to reach 12100 RPM thats close to 3.6 Kgs of static thrust. Further it has good throttle response.

Unlike most of the days yesterday It was running inconsistent at Full RPM however the engine died mid flight only once when I was trying vertical unlimited. Luckily I had gained sufficient vertical height by that time to recover and land safely in dead stick. When it did not start for the third takeoff was when I realized the Fuel line to pump pressure was leaking and had given away totally by then.

The engine was stripped yesterday to replace the connecting rod which had also developed play during one of over size prop test runs some time an year back. The engine has once again become tight because of new position of the piston rings. ( Yes was surprised to note this Engine has piston rings unlike all glow engines) I have to break in again now.
