SuperTigre, themselves, preferred 100% castor oil as the lubrication, and designed for it.

I don't think that engine really ever made it into production. If it did, I don't think any came into North America. We became the SuperTigre distributor and service center in the 1980's, and never...

The SuperTigre G2300 requires AT LEAST 18% oil content in the fuel. That's different from the other large SuperTigre engines.

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

That is an old ST .60. Also known as the "light case" .60. Very good sport engine. The "pattern" engine at the time was the G-60.

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

Which engine? We don't have a listing for a SuperTigre "V" .60 engine...ever. .60/.61-size engines were made in the "G"-series, "ST"-series, "X" series, and "S"-series. We know of no "V" series of...

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

An inverted engine can be a trial. Typically, they tend to flood out very easily. If fuel runs out of the carb before you can crank the engine enough, then you may need at least put the plane on a...

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

For the old S-29 engine, a "nice, low idle" was anything below 3,000 RPM. Anything lower than 3,000 RPM that gave you more than 30 seconds of idle with a "reasonable" throttle-up transition was...

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

If the engine is new, and unrun, break it in with a fuel that contains 0%-5% nitromethane and at least 15% oil. Once it's well-broken-in, you can use a fuel with 10%-12% oil content and 0%-5%...

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

If your mount is a bit tight, you just file it to make room for the engine. This is something modelers have done since pre-made mounts came out. That's because some mounts are a bit tight, and...

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

You do not set the idle needle by "number of turns". You must remove the carb and set the idle mixture so that it blocks one-half of the hole in the spraybar when the carb is opened is at full...

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

You need to prop the engine so that it runs around 12,500-13,000 RPM when leaned to just rich of peak RPM on the ground. Whatever prop gives that RPM is the "correct" prop. 14K is a tad high. RPM...

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

Running the engine that slowly is a sure way to guarantee it won't last too long. You really can't break it in well unless it's at full throttle. With the time you spent running it so slowly, you...

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

You would use a 1/4" reamer.

GPMQ5005 4-STEP STD PROP SHAFT REAMER US$11.99

These parts can be ordered through any hobby retailer who sells Great Planes kits and accessories.

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

A prop such as the APC 12.25x3.75 will give you very high RPM for low forward speed. It's like having your car in a very low, "stump pulling" gear. That prop is great for verticals. For...

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

Your engine is an ABC-type of engine. This means that the particular construction of your engine has an Aluminum piston, and a Brass Liner that is plated. Traditionally, the plating was Chrome, but...

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

If the propeller will allow the engine to turn 11,000-12,000 RPM when leaned to just rich of peak RPM, AND fly your model as desired, then you have the "correct" propeller size. A "rule of thumb"...

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

Sorry, but it's not any kind of slack at all. With ABC-type engines, you get a bit of "over-the-center" springing because the piston grabs at Top Dead Center just short of total movement, and the...

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

There are few differences internally between a SuperTigre S-61, an S-61K, and the G-61. The "S" series had the bolt-on front housing. The S-61K was identical to the S-61 except for the squared-off...

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

It's normal for model engines to leak compression when you turn them over slowly. That's because the compression leaks past the piston. With ringed engines, it's leaking past the ring gap, but...
