Has anyone used a Webra Silver line .40 in U/C?

I have two of them new and blue printed but, haven't flown them on anything. My take is they make less power than a Brodak 40 and they are heavier so maybe a good sport engine. That being said they are high quality manufactured with hardened sleeves.

I bought one after I read the review on Sceptre flight site. It has beautiful machining with quality metalurgy. I just need to put a venturi on it with an ST spraybar.

I think they came up periodically in old World Champs Reports , etc .

Think 11 x 6 was ' the go ' . Probably Ideal for something like a T Bird II .

A lot of them wouldve been ' Pre muffler ' days .

Webra has a parts list for the .40 (and others):

I guess email for info.

Its good to see parts available. The muffler bolt spacing is exactly the same as the OS LA 40.

The piston has an anti rotation pin. The ring climbs up the pin and it wears out the ends of the ring real quick. I don't remember if I removed the pin or just drove it in all the way but it's unnecessary and needs to be gone.

I did a test. My Brodak 40, factory muffler (with .360 restrictor insert) turned 12,800 and is 240 Grams. The Webra turned an 11-4 at 12,400 rpm and is 330 grams with muffler (factory muffler is very light). So, a bit less power and 3+ oz. heavier.

I setup several years ago, not impressed they are heavy and don't run well in anything but a wet 2 cycle, if wanting for stunt, there are better choices
