McCoy 35 r/h
« on: April 29, 2018, 08:50:11 PM »
Is there any reason why this engine will not work with a remote nv setup?

Hello For general sport flying I see no problem with a remote needle as long as there are no air-leaks and it is not too remote. Have used remote needles assemblies on lots of models but mainly my sons stunt trainers where finger safety and parts survival are more important then instant response .

I used to run through a couple of McCoy 35's a season back when they were both cheap and available everywhere.  Best stunt engine out there after break in for about 100 flights.  Mine all had a very thin spring needle valve extensions that could be "bent" and an extension soldered on.  Made it remote but not like the OS is remote.  Only used them on profiles.  I think the idea was to keep the needle valve from breaking in an inverted landing which happened a lot back in the 60's.  Nobody used muffler pressure (mainly because no one used mufflers) and the one bad habit my McCoys had was over heating and going flat without much warning.  Probably because I was an impatient kid and didn't break them in right!

  No reason to think that will be a problem. I ran the old OS Remote Needle setup on my Fox and it worked as expected. Didn't solve any problems but it didn't cause any new ones, either.
