To any and all,

I read a post here sometime ago where Randy said he used both in the past, hence his name in the title.

My question, since I just mounted an OS .30S on a CG Buster, and it will be the first time I have ever used one.  Does the .30S "4-2" like a .35S, all things equal?

Suggestions on props to start with?

Thanks!
Bill

Thanks, Randy. 

Ronnie had one in a Stiletto?     Should power the Buster OK  then, I guess! LOL!!

Any prop suggestions? (just one to throw on to start with)

Thanks!
Bill

  First off how is the wife?  Better I hope, now for the "toy airplane" question, might try a 10x5, if too much cut to 9 3/4x5, and go from there.
  Also suggest using 23-25 % castor fuel the balance 3 or so synthetic, of course Randy and other engine fellow's might suggest a better formuls on the oil.
  Keep us posted..           

Yep a 95% version, looked just like full size, unless you put a ruler on it no one knew
The 10 x 5 is a good place to start, I always ran 25% oil 1/2 castor in mine, 10% nitro was common
For a Buster 5% should be fine, although the Shoestring was a much better flyer
Randy

Thanks, Randy.  I , too have always thought the Shoestring was better in the air.  Personally liked the Cosmic Wind the best, but not because it flew better.  Never had a Buster until now, and it finishes the "trilogy" of Goldberg kits for me.  This Buster is fairly light for a 40 plus year old kit.

My flying buddy back in 1964 had a "clipped wing" Shoestring done to the mods called out on the plans, with an OS MAX III .35, removed the venturi restrictor, 9X8 Power Prop and Missle Mist.  He liked to fly really fast......

The coolest thing about the 30 is that it is OSA the 35. The parts are completely interchangeable. The only difference is the bore. The 30 p/c will drop right in a 35.

Another cool thing about the 30S is the piston and sleeve fits on all the ones I have seen are tighter. Don't know why, but I have seen many hundreds of these motors and still have many new ones, The 30S always had better P/S fits.
and all you need to convert one either way, other than the P/S as Dave stated, is the head

Randy

Sorry, forgot the head.....

Well ya can run that 30S head on the 35S ....

Get an Adamisin tube type muffler from Randy. You won't regret it!

Hi Ward-O,

Got the Adamisin Tube ones, plus a couple of the "rare" Jet Stream ones in stock and gutted flavors.
