Title: SuperTigre G-34 Dual BB Ringed Control Line w/Muffler
Post by: DanielGelinas on March 18, 2011, 01:20:11 PM
Hello all,

Is this a good engine for control line stunt?
It seems to be very heavy: 'Weight with Muffler: 12.73oz (363g)'??
Thanks,

There's a thread somewhere here about how to approach setting up an ST34. It's probably not a super-great engine but almost any current engine can be made to work pretty well (way better than ancient slag motors that everybody seems to like) if not perfect.

Hi Danny

I have setup many of them, They are not that heavy, The muffler adds the weight, and  most everyone does NOT use the very heavy stock muffler. The engines will run very well for stunt, but don't try to use a 6 pitch and run like a FOX 35

This is like most engines these days the stock mufflers are very heavy units

Regards
Randy

Then if I run one with a tongue muffler, it would be not so heavy. Sounds like a good deal for $80.00 odd dollars.

Does anyone remember what Bob Gieseke did to his G.34?  I remember him using one in a G.Nobler some years ago.

Just curious...... this ties into the threads I have posted about various engines to try and build a data base for guys who cannot spend the money just yet for the purpose built stunt engines.  And there are bazillions of engines that "can work" for most of us out there. ;D
