.010 and .020 mounting question

Horizontal like a reedie.

The cylinder sticking out the side of the cowl as opposed to the top. Like Kim's baby Wulf.

Ah, the cylinder rotated 90 degrees from the norm.

You are correct my young friend. I should have used engineering terms for a smart feller like yourself!

Hehe, thanks.

I will test you theory when my .010 arrives. Or with a PeeWee.

It has been proven with a pee wee. Or any babe bee variant. I was just not sure of the smaller TD's

If you want to give it a shot go for it! I am almost out of fuel.........

I don't think that should be any problem. Just a wee bit harder to prime.

Good to know Dan. I would think it would work ok. Just wasn't sure the venturi angle would be an issue.

Ron I have been able to position all the Cox motors in any attitude in the upper half of a 360 circle with no problem

I do not recommend the cylinder being in the lower half of the 360 as the fuel floods the plug, starting is a pain, and reliability sucks

I did have one plane that demanded straight down cylinder and I always had to start it upside down then fly it..PITA!

If using an external tank or a "no pressure bladder" you need to reposition the fuel tank slightly on some motors that are sensitive to the fuel level. IE. The Cylinder on a TD rotated 90 either side effectively lowers the fuel inlet on the venturi

Thanks Fred,

Really appreciate that. Glad to know it works and that you have done it.
