- Ever wondered how to start and tune a 2 cycle Nitro RC Airplane Engine? Tune in as Tom shows the procedure he goes through to start his nitro engines, and how he properly tunes them after they're running.

You say you are not happy because it is running a tad rich but in my experience the engine will unload when in the air and eliminate that tad bit of richness. I always leave mine running a teeny tad rich while on the ground. The one reason I do this is because if you lean it too much (an adjustment where you feel its perfect) ..... when it gets in the air and uloads it will then run too lean and shut down. Nice looking engine
Nice. thank you!
Now, when I get back up in the air, I can be pretty sure I'm not smoking my motor.
I had one of these -- Hirtenberger Patronen .61. HP was an Austrian munitions (Patronen) manufacturer.
Great video, thanks man.
Thanks for the video, I had one on a Bridi super kaos with a tuned pipe.
Ron and Tom! Love your podcast and now videos. Please keep them coming.
Awesome engine test stand btw (B&D Workmate). I’ve got a vintage one I bought my Dad for Father’s Day back in the 70s that I use a ton.
He's GREAT
I'm listening to ask episodes. Tom is not THAT old!. Jeez Ron
*all
I have the OS 60 SF never used it still new.
Hi from Australia. Have just bought 2 of these same engines. Thanks, your vid was informative however my engines were supplied with both low speed and high speed needles turned all the way in. Can you tell me how many turns out from the fully in position that might get me in the ball park for both needles. Not having any luck at the moment. Thanks
Try starting with the high-speed needle 3 full turns out and the low-speed needle
2 turns out. Be sure to use a fresh glow plug and fresh fuel.
O.S. Type F (medium heat) plugs are very good, but pricey.
10% nitro should work well. It's all I use on larger glow engines.
Hope this helps.
Yeah I've heard the 3 turns out rule heaps, got a Cox 049 Bee going with this method!
Moving the fast speed needle while at idle???
It’s just easier sometimes to turn the screw at idle when the whole machine isn’t screaming, vibrating and blowing a heap of air against your hand when making small adjustments.
Once you have made the "static" adjustments onthe ground, then does the throttle movement always generate monotonic increase in speed?
For an example of monotonic increase, moving the throttle clockwise ALWAYS increases cyclic velocity (Hz). Another example of monotonic increase, moving the throttle counter-clockwise ALWAYS increases cyclic velocity (Hz). A non monotonic adjustment will increase and then decrease the controlled variable.
I am interested in making a PLL motorcontroller. I am an EE not ME, so my vocabulary might appear strangely.
Which fuel do you use?
Hello, I have a thea 140 pro that will not start, so you do repair on those 2 cycle engines?
If so what's your business address
I have a rc plane that is running too lean but I’ve adjusted the thing on the carb but it won’t change how it runs. Anyone know what’s wrong?
Check for obstruction in the carburetor. You could have a blade of grass or something restricting the air flow…
Why won't the engine start when hot? It is necessary to unscrew the candle, twist the shaft.
Hi Ron or Tom.
Its me, the Swedish person. Awsome to have a new video even thogh I don't have a nitro engine. Anyways, I just want to leave a little feedback:
Me and almost everyone I know think it is anoying when youtubers say "don't forget to subscribe" because it doesn't in my experience get anyone to subscribe and it's just annoying. You guys didn't say it but the little animation was still a little annoying. Just want to point that out.
You should have set up your large desk then brought your high-end in it's about 80% right now
What engine isthat???
This is an old HP Gold Cup .61. Great engine!
@@RCPlaneLab no manufacturers exist today just o.s , enya, novarossi...
The rest are ceased to exist...

Couldn’t hear a thing you were saying lol
THEN SWITCH YOUR HEARING AID ON 🤭.
