All,
So, Bob and I tried to get my McCoy 35 running last night for an RST I built for my nephew. The motor is just too tired. once warmed up, you can get almost two full revs out of her when flipping by hand, and she just won't stay running. I'm going to try to bake the piston, but, if that doesn't work............
I have a couple different engines I can run, 25FP, Evolution 36, Fox 35, and a 40LA. I even have a 46AXII I could use as well if I buy a C/L venturi for it.
But, that McCoy is a wwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide motor, and I had trimmed the hardwood mounts to fit. The FP's and Evo for sure are much narrower, I haven't checked the LA or Fox yet. I can see straight through about 1/3 of the mounting holes where the mount *would* have been if not for the McCoy adjustment.
So, clamp the motor in with 3/16" aluminum? use some ply and fiberglass to rebuild that part of the mount that was trimmed out? I REALLY don't want to cut out the mounts and start over, as the plane is ready to go.....
