I got a Supertigre G-34 Schneurle motor.  double ball bearings, it ran OK.  It was choked a bit by a 13mm(?) crank.  It was also kinda heavy, north of 9 oz.  It also was ringed which has never been a good idea in combat, anyway.  Hit the ground and get silt-sized particles in the ring would really screw things up.

I never saw a 35/36 version of the similar G-40 engine.  It would have been a dud at well over 12 oz. as a G-35

Hi DAN,  That is the same as I was asking about. Have you every run yours and if so how did the run. Fast or maybe just OK?
Thanks

Is it ABC or Iron piston. I would look into the rear bearing to see if it's a plastic cage or other. If it's ABC and has a good fit it would be worth getting good bearings and a mod head.

Dan, what rpm are you running with the Nelson mods?

Hi Gordan,  Yes they were fast and would restart when hot. I ran them on 25% nitro but have been told 40% to 50% would make them light up.  They were pigs on fuel four ounces was good for two minutes, but most matches were over by then.  Not up to the power of a Nelson or Fora but good for the time they were made. Mine were modified by Henry, so I don't know how a stock one preformed.

Hay Dan Hay-  I've sort of quit flying Fast because there is simply NO ONE to fly against, plus they don't hold up very well to hitting the ground.  The last times at the NATS there often was a chance to win simply by getting 2 min. +.  Almost every match I flew  my opponents ran out of fuel somewhere around 1:30 and took well over 30 seconds to get back up.  I used a stock Nelson, 10% + APC 8/5 sport prop(check the blades after every flight.  Throw 'em out after 5 full flights). Henry's motor would pull a plane about 110mph without a motor and pulling 550 squares.

ON the G.21 track. who here ever got ahold of a G.21 with the stunt/baffled iron piston.  They also sold the C35 plain bearing motor with that set up.  Made a very strong engine for an 8oz. stunt motor.
