Hello Ron
I sent Brian a message asking for the price. I also asked about the price of the stunt head as I will be converting combat engines to stunt and the head has to be replaced. Have you had any luck finding the Stunt ST.35 engines? The one I received yesterday was a combat model a G21/35 .
Juan
Juan, I did get one! I would be interested in a few sets to keep what I have going and also to convert some Combat engines which would open up more doors for sourcing engines.Hello Ron
Hello Ron
I`m glad you were able to get one, How many sets you want?
Juan
I don't know why you would want to dump that much money into a SuperTiger cross flow when you could get a Brodak 40 cheaper, lighter with more power and comes with a muffler.Well for me is a matter of nostalgia,I bought my first Supertiger in 1969 In a hobby shop in St.Petersburg Florida. I still have it and had a lot of fun flying different models with it. I liked that unlike other engines of that era they are long lasting, The front bushing and piston/cylinder hold up pretty well. I also have the Brodak .40 and I know is a fine engine but it has no history with me yet.

Maybe. Price and parts available to convert are needed.
I see the Brodak 40 is no longer available? The 25 too?
I can tell you the stock head is the way to go. I have the first two st/35 that used the Brian conversion. He used one of my motors to copy as he did not have one. I did the conversion as soon as I had the parts but did not use the two I had very much for a few years. I did a head mod and there was no improvement. They did take some break in time. They will fly the pattern on 2-3 ounces of fuel. Not much castor is needed. I have the first st46 motors as I worked with Brian on these also. I run 10/5 props and get a lot more power than a fox on 5% fuel.
I did this conversion on the BB combat motors for a friend and they ran OK but faster as th crank timing is different. Combat head needs a baffle cut in it. The motor I had in my Tucker for eight years was a converted Tigre 35. It had about the same power as the Rustler that it replaced.

Brian As you probably remember I tried several head designs for the .46 and a basic hemi head worked the best for a smooth 2-4 break. On the .35 the hemi did not improve the run in any way. The stock head gives good even power going from a four to a two cycle and the motor comes back from a two cycle to a four cycle very quick. I run a .272 intake but you can go bigger. Up to .292 and still draw fuel OK. With a .272 intake I use 3 ounces of fuel to fly the pattern. Fuel is 15-17 % oil half and half,10% nitro. For a year I had the motor with the large intake in my Randy Smith small Tempest and it seemed as powerful as a .46 but it was tail heavy so I put in the .46.

as mentioned above I have been into st rebuilding for many years. Here are some notes from 1984. most are about the 40- 46 but there is some information on the 35,and older 51and 56. I was like many other at that time trying to get more power out of the 46
Some of you ask questions about the rebuilding the 46. This may help.
Id assume this ' opened out exhaust ' 21/35 is one of the more vicious versions , with the port that big .

These are almost ready fellas. I'll start chasing money for them in the next couple of weeks.

Do these have flat top (combat) or baffle piston in the ABC set ?
