Does anyone know a way of mounting these so you can actually use them? I've seen a video on YouTube of someone running one, but I can't see how he has it mounted.

I know Kim strapped his down with a metal tie to a board, can't find his thread though.

Will you got a wasp too?
I have one and do not really like it do you want it for parts?
You can have it for free if you want
It has no compression,no NV

Unfortunately! , Could do with that engine for spares!

nitroairplane Mon Feb 06, 2012 1:57 pm

Will what kinda piston does yours have?
Oddly enough mine had a cox .049 piston in it.
Indra

MiniatureAircraftFactory Mon Feb 06, 2012 2:15 pm

Ive never taken piston out, but through the exhaust ports it looks like cast iron, not very shiny like a cox engine, i always presumed it was the same piston as a dc merlin

nitroairplane Mon Feb 06, 2012 2:21 pm

So did but then saw the ball socket!

Ivanhoe Mon Feb 06, 2012 2:35 pm

Here's an engine I'd like to own again, just for nostalgia, if anyone comes across one for a sensible price please let me know...

I used to have a Wasp too, and despite peoples' opinions here, I wouldn't mind another some time.

Wilf

MiniatureAircraftFactory Mon Feb 06, 2012 2:39 pm

I wouldnt bother getting one , they are the same engine as the wasp with a radial mount tank on the back, later ones have gold anodising not red, they didnt seem to be very good ( maybe i was just unlucky )

Then that is probably why it has no compression.

Trouble is, on EBay ANY old British engine goes for totally silly money, I've watched a couple of Bantams but when they reach £30-odd I lose interest!

I had a Bantam way back when and used it in numerous models, not a racer but a decent slogging sport motor.

Yup and that is just what they should not have tried to do!
