Need info
« on: October 02, 2020, 07:38:47 PM »
I got a plane from a raffle and I don't have a engine that matches the bolt pattern and was wondering what motor has a footprint of 1.5x9/16

From my list, these engines are real close to 1.5" wide (bolt hole patterns):
K&B40 4011
K&B40 8065
OS35-46 FP/LA
But alas, those are all 11/16" front to back.

An OS FP 15 is 1.3x.564

good luck

I have now changed several motors into existing planes. I fill the old holes with epoxy or JB Weld. I then install brass inserts into the mounts with JB Weld. From the top. No need to open the back side and remove the blind nuts. Works very well.

What kit is it?  Seems the most obvious question at this point...

Tudor
Bigger profile plane.  Try looking at the bolt pattern of the LA46. 14.5 x 42.5 mm.

Tudor

     What is the wing span? It could be the original Tudor, or the much later Top Flite Tudor -2 and it is a much larger model. That will help things a lot to know which one it is.

Sounds like its a ENYA , as theyre 14 m.m.

& a 14 m.m. spanner fits a 9/16 A F nut , tight .

The plain bearing are short in the nose , the Ball Bearing being longer - to the prop .

The 29 , 35 & 45 6001 / 6002 at least . Dunno if the later schneurles match the early bolt pattern .

So now ya know .  H^^

I have an alternate suggestion for you! Buy some 3/16" Aluminum cut to a length of 2" and a width of 1/2". either bolt you engine of choice to two of these strips, top of motor mount and bottom motor mount by tapping the holes to a 4/40 thread and then mount this assembly to the profile fuselage by threaded inserts held in with epoxy. Safe system to do this is use a 3/8 long cap screw, dipped in vaseline as a release agent, drill an appropriate hole for the  insert, screw in the insert with an allen wrench, let cure over night and then bolt the engine, strip assembly to the inserts! You'll need four inserts and the holes must be drilled in the strips so that you may bolt the assembly to the  plane! I've used this method on engines up to  and including ST .46's so far. Hope this is clear for you.
