German engineer Nicolaus Otto was the first to develop a functioning four-stroke engine, which is why the four-stroke principle today is commonly known as the Otto cycle and four-stroke engines using spark plugs often are called Otto engines. The Otto Cycle consists of adiabatic compression, heat addition at constant volume, adiabatic expansion and rejection of heat at constant volume.

1. The four-stroke engine was first patented by Eugenio Barsanti and Felice Matteucci in 1854, followed by a first prototype in 1860.

Mike,

I think your references speak for themselves. Don't you have enough TurboHeaders already?? What model would you like? Send me a PM with your address so I don't have to go back in my files.

Merry Christmas!!!

Jim

Thank you, my signature has been updated.

And speaking of TurboHeaders: one is installed on the Saito 100 GK powered Top Flite P-47 ARF that I posted a pic of few posts back. But, you can't see it because it and the engine are completely inside the cowl, and there are no holes in the cowl other than 2 small carb adjustment access holes and a hole on the bottom for the glo-lighter to be inserted thru. I attached a Hobbico silicone exhaust delector to the TurboHeader, and that it where the exhaust exits.

Lastly, a little off the subject: yes, those are genuine Vortac bombs, hanging from genuine Vortac mechanisms below the wings.

Sheesh jim you're giving me a headache and merry xmas to you all.My only other problem is that i've just had to spray wd40 on my 220 to stop the corrosion as i've never run it yet.Can't find the right warbird apart from h9 150 size mustang so i can dogfight my mates fw190a8,mustangs have been done to death.Something russian or european?

Does anyone know where I can get a rod for a 180? Horizon is back order and they keep moving the date, same ole crap from Horizon!!!

Thanks jrp124

mike early

That is probably the biggest disadvantage of Saito engines (besides the price): Availability of replacement parts.

jrp124

Good reason not to buy one!!!

My Feedback: (16)

The rod is out of stock by everyone even in G B.

Saito has redesigned the rod to be compatible with the FG-30 which is the gas 180.

Until the supply line gets filled up again, they are going to be scarce.

The Lavocheko would be great, but with retracts, cowl, canopy, kits, and delivery about $645 .. whew, but a beautiful eye catcher and with a Saito FA-180. Wow what a warbird!

God this modelling thing can get hard.Bad enough losing one and bending a good saito crank but this is redicolous.I have a 182 and the taylorcraft for it should be here feb.I want something that will do justice to the awesome prop and exhaust sound that the 220 makes.It's heaven then.

I need Saito engine information. I have a Saito 150 and need to adjust the gap on the rockers. What is the proper gap for each rocker? Also does anyone have an extra muffler or pipe that will fix a 150?

w8ye

My Feedback: (16)

The exhaust for the Saito 120, 150 & 180 will all fit each other

The valve adjustment is .002" to .004" clearance

The rods are not in stock at Advantage Hobbies at this time
