Title: Best Engine Type
Description: Wondering what to start with.
Lester - May 13, 2004 05:36 PM (GMT)
Sort of new to this RC airplane hobby.:unsure:
I have run RC glo powered cars/trucks.
What would be a good running mid size glo engine to start out with?
I want one that cranks easy and you don't have to fiddle with too much.
Thanks for any help. :)

Mustangman,
Thanks for the help.
Is that os46 a two or four stroke engine?
I heard that OS is good two strokers and Satio (sp?) makes good four strokers.
Any truth to the Satio being good four stroke engines?
:mellow:

Any engine that you can get to run for you. get a small plane and put one of you car engines on it :blink:

Get a saito 56 four stroke. They are good engines.
I likes Saitos. :D

Sounds Good. :)
How much does one of those OS 46 engines cost?
Wonder if they have any out at the Hobby Town USA store?

the thunder pro 46 is also a great engine and is cheaper. I used one in three airplanes and then sold it, and I think it is still flying for someone.

Yea Evon I had your old TT 46 ran great. B)

That engine just won't die, went I purchased it new it had a bent needle valve which took me a while to figure out. Probably drop in shipping. But once I corrected that it was perfect. set and forget engine.

Yeah, me to.
I had a Thunder Tiger one time that you could cook toast on it. :crying:
Have seen some that ran good though.
Just the luck of the draw. ;)

Depends on the trainer plane.
Is just right for a mid-sized (40 class) trainer plane.
Not really enough engine for the larger (60 class) trainer planes.

O.S. 46 is very good for a 40 size trainer or sport plane :thumbup: I have two 46FX and I just bought a 46AX (Thay don't make the FX any more). I also have a Evolution 46 it's not as good as the O.S. I also have three Saito four strokes a 56 a 72 and a 100. The 56 has been infor repair three times and is broke again (junk):thumbdown: the 72 needs bearings, :thumbdown: the 100 is new and runing ok so far. :) I also just bought a O.S. 70 Surpass Four Stroke, :thumbup: it has only five runs on it :) .I LOVE my O.S. engines :wub: I WILL ONLY BUY O.S. ENGINES :thumbup:
