Super Tigre 35

(1/5) > >>

Harold Brewer:
 Was going through my engine stash and found a brand new Super Tigre 35.  Documentation shows both the stunt and combat versions.  Looked inside the cylinder and confirmed the piston was a flat top.  Question is do I have a combat or stunt engine?
 Regards,
Brew

 Note : Plain bearing engine

Peter in Fairfax, VA:
Combat.  If baffled, stunt version and gets better fuel mileage.

EddyR:
   Also the combat model was made with and wihout ballbearings. Stunt models do not have them

Motorman:
If it's ball bearing, does it have a 2 on one of the mounting lugs?

Dave_Trible:
The one you have there is the 'combat' version, though next to nobody ever used it for combat.  It is plain bearing so most found their way onto a profile carrier where BB's weren't allowed .  The G 21 .35 BB was the engine used mostly for combat and was quite a bit more energetic that the 'C' combat plain bearing.  Neither were ever thought to be much of a stunt engine but could be more manageable with the the stock small venturi like yours.
