Test-pilot Tim's Calmato RC plane on 40% nitromethane

- Tim said he needed more power, so we made up a batch of fuel with 40% nitro - but forgot to tell him. Amazingly, his Calmato survived the stresses but he did go through a few glowplugs. Nothing to see here except an ASP52 being ridden hard and put away wet.

Even if you’re not a fan of Tim’s flying style, you have to give him credit for dead stick landing skills.
I was going to say... He's awesome at dead stick landings!
Every Engine that surives a Day with Tim will last for ever for every other person ^^
That's crack up
40 percent nitro was fair singing that asp 52
I will try a5 plugs or os 10 plugs next time
The mixture wound out unfortunately towards the end of the flight
If you want big nitro power viewers give a Chinese made asp52 ago.
Regards
Tim
Great flying Tim. Enjoy the issues with the nitro but all good fun. Cheers
That was wound out pretty tight by the sound of things. I think its best to start a bit rich on the settings until you get things running right. I replaced the Thunder tiger with an OS in my Kadet. I really dont know what my oil settings should be as of yet. I am going with rich. Sounds like you kept running out of fuel? That would lean it out too. The amount of oil would represent plenty of lube. I am not sure I would listen to Bruce. He is hard to read. He likes to joke mabe too much. I would hate it to cost an engine. You give them a real thrashing!
The reason it was stopping is it had number 8 plugs and they were burning out from the fuel Bruce made up
Hey Tim did you add raw nitro to a gallon of 15% ?
One day those wings are going to come right off. Be sure to have the camera running to capture the moment Bruce!
😂
In fact, the patented RonCam system should be used!
Those ASP 52's are indeed strong engines. I ran mine hard in a Phoenix Scanner, but with a more modest percentage of nitro in the fuel. The engine didn't miss a beat, sadly the Scanner suffered severe structural cracking from the speed & maneuvers, now temporarily retired awaiting repairs. But the ASP 52 lives on.
This was a one off fuel batch Bruce made up lol
Blew a few plugs
But the prop was actually ripping
The power was incredibly .

Tim
O tis was great to see nitro Tim again, trying to pull the tail off the possum. Good flying Ron, another nitro lover......Love it brought a smile on my dial many thanks to all including the camera man as always.
Brilliant Calmato. I have the sports 40 version low wing with os 55ax. Good flying planes.
What's better than 1 mini 13B rotary engine strapped to a plane... 2 mini 13B rotary engines. Food for thought Tim lol
and your never ending sarcasm keeps me in stitches!, ground loop take offs, my favorite!
I did many years of sheet music reading but didn't remember Calmato was direction for calm, tranquil, peaceful!
What an appropriate name for this airframe burning through hot nitro
Noisy, smoky, oily, lovely! 🤣
must be a very strong wing ASP not doing too bad either
the sweat is pooring out of that plane at the end. NICE FLYING TIM!!!
Only peaceful thing about Tim's flights are the dead stick landings!
A superb racket and beautifully narrated Bruce! 😃
You should have Calmato pylon racing all running 40% nitro. Now that would be fun to watch ;o)
Actually Bruce, it needs a tuned pipe too. That will make it sing but probably break the bearings...
I came to the comments to find the time stamp for when the wings folded.
Test pilot Tim. If it makes you happy give it more jandle. Nothing like plenty of G's.
These days it appears there is a lot of test flights on new Kits as I are unable to break a wing yet .
Regards
Tim
i just love people who fly at full throttle for the whole tank of fuel! it just demonstrates their fine level of controll....:-) heheheheheheheheheheheheheh!
It helps to preserve the pots on the throttle stick
You've incredible info at this point.
Future production of Calmato model planes will read: "Wing integrity thoroughly tested by 'Test Pilot Tim' and also passed messy goo test from extreme engine excretions." Good on yah, Tim! I hope to fly one day with you guys when I am able to in the near future.
ASP Engines are really awesome, they might be an OS Ripoff, but they run much smoother and much harder. It's be nice seeing that fuel on a thundertiger, they pack a hell of a punch.
They definitely don’t run smoother than OS
If Technical flew nitro, you'd get Tim.
3:57.. I prefer Ron's flying technique. Tim should get a Jet type model... it would be more in tune with his flying style. Does Tim know that the Throttle is proportional and not an ON/OFF switch ?? ;-)
Jets are fast but usually not very manoverable, just chucking it about seems to be more Tim's style
Great video, and perfect flying 👌👍
I remember all the old guys telling me if i used 30% in my four stroker youl blow the head off they told me lol the engine is still running fine many years and flights later
Tim you are a legend I love it.
Noisy models that loose flying fields,I was waiting for the wings to break.
I was hoping they would . What a noisy irritating badly flown plane.
Manic flying,a good job they are out in the sticks because there are few places you can fly with that racket going on,says it all when you stop watching it here on TH-cam because of the noise.
Always gotta Go flat out with this fella on the sticks 😂 pmsl ........
Sweet 👍👌
On a warbird or a racer... a screamer like that would be so gorgeous...
Yesss!
He should add another head gasket to that '52 and why isn't he using a tuned pipe?
I think we never saw one of Tim’s plane’s do this before 🤣
Sharp little airplane,I have looks like same motor on my tower sport 60,but lots less nitro lol
Yes, he makes beautiful dead stick landings, real greasers. But all that metal in the exhaust fuel is of concern.
Tim were you the type of kid that always had to neatly put away his toys and not play with them. Lol payback time 😆
Does Mike know that one of the large levers on his Tx controls the throttle?
The sassy walk of Tim 😂
Y'all don't do ProBro Yakoff's (a snap roll as soon as possible after tHe wheels clear the ground going vertical).
Tjhis is a family site there will be no talk of yakingoff here you deviants with your prevert minds always thinking of massave tuned pipes and such
I am sorry but I was not trying for an off color comment. It has been about a decade we have been using that name and the original ProBro that had done that take off did it with a 3D profile Yak and that is where the name was born.
Tora Tora Tora - Tim
Worse noise in a loong time;) Pls teach him a few basic maneuvre's so he can learn what the throttle stick can do of amazing things ;). liked the video, cosy as always:)
Os R5 plug.....especially with that much compression! Hey, get some 65% boat fuel while you're at it! This is why a .90-1.20 on 15% and a prop with more pitch than diameter is the way to go on a .40 sized overpowering project.
That motor needed a new plug. Smoke doesn't necessarily mean it's rich.
Tim Like the Nike add sezz "Just do it"
O.s. r5 plugs for that high nitro content....
I have an Ultrastik ARF with a Thundertiger .47 and it was OK, on 10% fuel. One day, I decided to use my 1/2A fuel, 40% nitro. Holy cow.
But it had a kind of odd, mechanical cackle, at full bore. So I took the head off and shaved a bit off, reducing the compression ratio. That holy cow became a SAINT.
NOW, it would climb vertical, UNLIMITED.
Remember, adding more nitro advances the ignition timing and premature ignition will cost you power and be very hard on all the moving parts, especially the bushed rod. I learned this from a guy who calls himself, modelaircrafter. Check out his YT channel. Amazing,,,, conversions to diesel and even biodiesel.
Changing the prop (brand) also can increase performance and run without a spinner (or even a spinner nut) that also helps to gain a few rpm.
Tuning for power is a whole fun art by itself. :)
Where did you got your calmato ... ive contact the supplier they said it discontinued
Trademe New Zealand
Bloody hell. Tbe kinda guy who doesn't warm his car up haha
Hey I got a diesel car and it does get warmed up
@@Testpilottim 😁😁
Haha.. you guys are just looking to cook that engine.. 40 ~ 50% nitro. Too funny...
Is Tim an "RC MYTHBUSTER", pushing plane and engine to the limit, until something goes bang?
You guys don't need a variable throttle, an on-off switch would do just fine!
Definitely needs a bigger motor. LoL
What power system holds the speed record, nitro or electric?
Neither ; wind.
th-cam.com/video/MoaWlKC3wIM/w-d-xo.html.
I think your both wrong. Gravity! Especially after the extra drag has removed itself, (the wings).
cmulder002. I just watched your link, “Holy Cow Batman!”.
@@cmulder002 Now that's cool!
@@tenlittleindians yup "gliders" can be fun :)
Way to lean that enine is going to seize up before long but give it hell tim
Nitro was fun on its days but if you really want to over speed a plane and pull it apart in flight you don't need 30% Nitro to make make the motor unreliable you just go epower no dead stick because of dead plugs just dead planes because they over powered from the power of Epower
The comments just ain't the same without the Trolls 😂😂 I love how even his daughter is still singing how "it's too lean" as well😂😂.
Sorry I never made it guys, yes I know I missed a god day-technical issues with a broken balance lead to my parallel board meant I almost toasted some 6s lipos😩. Hopefully this Sunday I'll be down👍
Dammmm, how much oil and witch oil in it?? Fuchs turbine oil??
Tim flies exclusively with 140,000rpm control line engines.
I I could understand wanting to go fast but just doing loops and rolls doesn't do it for me! You need yourself a mid wing fully symmetrical, something a little more slippery if you want to fly like that but you might crash guaranteed lol.
Are the prop tips breaking the speed of sound or what?
It's okay, we have hot-glue, we can repair the speed of sound later.
Is Tim trying to turn his planes inside out.
how long a engine lasts on tim's hands? really would like to know
Years
Just change the bearing very regularly
That's an expensive days flying...
I see the problem, Tim is leaning to the wrong side, he should lean more forward😜
Running a bit rich? :-)
It flies like it has no linkages.
tim makes hanno prettner look like a novice!!!
Tim really needs a Nelson or a Jet 40 racing engine for that turd LOL
Don't worry... he's got a Russian MAC FIRE .60 with tuned pipe that will be going in something soon. I had one of these a few years back and they are *awesome* engines -- until they grenade. But hey, there was a company in the USA selling them for about US$30 a pop some years ago and I got a couple of them at the time. th-cam.com/video/1ljKp_nyTgk/w-d-xo.html
Isnt that just a poor trainer? lol.
@@xjetI should have said lay it on him some more we wanna see the wing part company :-)
it s not oil , oil is clear . that s metal wear, chow from london ontario canada EH lol
maybe throttel down once in a while. its no pylon racer
Old control line guys use to use 70 nitro 20 meth and 10 caster
That caster was the best smell
Yes, they did.
But to be fair, they were quite crazy.
Had to make it a little more interesting..
@@kermets not wrong there .... should of seen what the flew though it's like half a wing on a slick fuz and half a elevator out the other side ... even had half a prop with a counter weight on it would think there was no way they would fly
@@Psi105 I'll have you know we're all still quite crazy.
I want to se him go strait vrtical wide open into the runway then ron run over sprikle some of that fuel on whats left and throw a match on it
This SC engine is extremely noisy,, Shouldn't these engine should have a baffle plate in the expansion chamber to give the engine a little back pressure and moderates the noise, it will uses less fuel.
Bruce is the prop a tad on the small size? This baffle plate is round with many cupped hole pressed into the periphery with one in the centre for the long bolt which clamps these parts together.
Baffles just reduce power :-)
Way too lean. With 40% nitro the fuel flow (and thus oil flow) should be significantly higher leading to tons of smoke regardless of oil used. From that clip there was barely any smoke from the exhaust which is a dead giveaway it’s super lean. Where was the ground high speed adjustment clip? If you’re gonna pull high g moves like that on high nitro you should back the high speed needle out 800-1000rpm from peak.
It's a little under-powered, definetly needs a tuned pipe 🤣
I think it needs a pipe!!!
40% is to much nitro. Should be running 15%. 40% will keep over heating the engine, causing it to die AND its bad for the piston and sleeve...excess wear!
YOU CANT DO THAT YOULL BLOW THE HEAD OFF
man this audio sux today
Use a decent size prop for god's sake!
I think Tim said it was a 12" prop... which is pretty big for a .52-sized engine.
Pitch!
@@flysteve100 Pitch? Pitch? Tim doesn't need pitch... that only reduces RPMs! Yeah, I think it was a 12x4 which is probably a good idea because it keeps the top speed down but provides plenty of vertical for those takeoffs ;-)
How not to run a new motor 😵
Send it back to horizone hobby tell them somthings wrong with the engine
🤣🤣🤣🤣
On steroid fuel
Sorry, sounds awfull! 😊
