Title: Twin cylinder experience?
Post by: Avaiojet on August 12, 2012, 06:53:14 PM

I'm looking for information on twin cylinder glow engines around the .35 size. Diesel is fine also.

 My interest would be Brand, size. Would also like to here from users of twin cylinder engines.

So, I'm open to the education.

Thanks in advance.

Charles

First step "to the education".  Now HEAR this.  You at least spelled your words correctly, but you used the wrong word.  I am only trying to help because you have been so gracious in the past to point out spelling errors of others.  So, I am just returning the favor.   And, you are welcome.

Well there is this -

http://modelenginenews.org/ad/cs_twin.html

It is a CS Oliver 0.30 twin cylinder diesel mads in China and has been reviewed by Maris Disler here in Oz also.
This clip is pertinent,  "In actual fact, Maris's reworked CS twin seems if anything to outperform such iconoclastic designs as the Fox 35 stunt. It would undoubtedly do a creditable job of flying a sport-stunt control-line model designed for engines in the .35—.40 cuin. range. Its main disadvantages would be its weight and its noise characteristics. "

(Perfect for that canard pusher stunter triplane equipped with snow skis and titanium hot and cold folding hub caps that you know is not ever going to be built. ;D)

Chris,

I know you are the odd ball diesel guy and you do know your diesel engine brands.

However, I apologize. I should have said horizontally apposed cylinders.

So, now that you know that, what's available.

Thanks for the reply,

Charles

Hi Charles,
                 now I am confused as 'Apposed' means "to place side by side, as two things; place next to; juxtapose. "

To which the CS inline twin design certainly is, but I will run on the assumption that you mean 'Opposed' instead - just like the Ross engine is.

Chris,

Yes, sorry about that, "opposed" as is the Ross .60.

Thanks for the correction.
