Engine choice for Brodak Oriental?
frank mccune:
Hello All:
Before I start building a Brodak Oriental, I would like to receive some feedback as to which engine may be the best choice from the following:
Fox 35 Stunt
OS 35 Stunt
Tom Lay OS-ST 40
OS 40 LA
HP 40
I am looking for adquate power, easy starting and smooth running as the primary objectives. I think thatI listed the engines in order of increasing power and weight. The weight ranges from almost 7 oz, for the Fox and 9.3 oz. for the HP.
Suggestions/and or comments?
Tia,
Frank McCune

Frank - when I developed the Oriental ARF for John, I used a stock Fox 35 and it was perfect.
The prototype came out nose-heavy with the Fox, a wooden Top-Flite 10-6 , a tongue muffler and a plastic spinner.
I had to add around 3/4 ounces of tailweight.
I don't know if the kit would build the same.
I would go with the Fox 35 or the Max-S 35.

Hi all.
I have a Custom ABC Gardner OS 35 + tongue muffler #^ waiting for my Oriental. After tested it power is considerably increased from stock unit (donīt have a Tom Lay unit to compare, BTW).
ABC PS and Gardner rod let the oil content to be drop considerably......
My two cents.
Kind regards from Spain.
Manuel.

My option is Only traying the less balance weight, if not, for sure would try a LA 46 (Gardner ABC in my case but not obilgated)
Manuel Cortes:
My Smoothie works very happy with a Super Tigre 46. No balance weight needed.
