Personally, I would keep them on methanol fuel, but convert to CDI ignition. It’ll save you on fuel, and more stable operation. The owners manual probably doesn’t say it, but you can use 15% oil...

I agree on a 10x6 for regular running and a 9x6 for breaking in if it hasn’t been run or was recently rebuilt. If it’s ringed, keep it limited to 16,000rpm ground peak. If it’s ABC, you can let it...

Agreed! The S29, S45 and Como .40 look real nice. If I didn’t already have what I’d have, I’d make an offer on those 3.

I might be interested in an .11 or .15 if it’s ABC. My Norvel 1/2a trainer needs an .11 or equivalent size engine to fly well, and my 10FP doesn’t cut the mustard.

Super Tigre and Como are first rate engines in my book. Their carburetors are phenomenal. I have a Como .51 ABC NIB and numerous Super Tigres. I only collect Italian built Tigres, and most of...

The 7D is a different animal to a heli carb. Heli carbs are often metered rich in the midrange because of the rpm they’re operated at in relation to the load they’re under. A heli carb on an airplane...

All S90s are ringed. If it’s in good serviceable shape, you might get $40 for it sans carb. If the 3-needle carb is from a Heli, don’t bother. It will not run right on an airplane engine due to being...

Picco is still in business as well, but catering to the buggy world only. PAW Diesels are still made as are a number of other companies in Europe and such.

I haven’t used that engine much. I ended up putting a new piston ring in it and bench running it after I got the new bearings done. It’s still smooth as silk and turns the same prop 400rpm faster...

is that the weird sized bearing that the S90K uses? I remember having to send the crank housing to you to have a sleeve pressed in to use a smaller more standard bearing.
