I had purchased a near new Aero Tiger a year ago (off of SSF) and had just mounted it on a "hand-me down hack ship" - Geiseke Nobler - that had been wrecked I had rebuilt. I had recently tried an OS 40. No joy. Today I installed the Aero Tiger .36 and OHMYGOD! What a perfect run! Choke twice, hook up battery, and one start flip. Fat needle, easy to set. Plenty of power just where you need it. Did I mention perfect run? If you don't own one of these, get over on Randy Smith's site and order one now! Quit messing around with lesser engines!

This experience today tells me when I want an engine for STUNT I will go to THE PROPER SOURCE from now on! Randy gives fast service too on anything I have ever ordered.

I am of the opinion that the AT .36 is the finest stunt engine around....although any of Randy's or R.O's are great....

I will admit (since I have a bazillion engines) that the AT 36 is the BEST engine of it's size for stunt on the PLANET! Too easy to use, gobs and gobs of controlable power, and the praise just goes on.

I kidded Randy about the price at first, but after hearing MArshall Busby and the rest of the guys talking about them, I now have a few! Even have a TT 36 that Randy converted to like new AT mode, and the work was reasonable. I now have a great engine from a gift of an R/C pilot! And the new ones are super. Highest recommendation!!

I will ditto everything said about the Aero Tiger 36.

You can practice flying as opposed practicing getting the engine to run.
It has some amazing properties :

1 if it burps at the intersections of the vertical eight,install a plug.

2 If it speeds up during the run,mid point on ,look for a split in the vent line.

3 If you have any run problems, it is a fuel delivery problem, not an engine problem.

I will now get off my box again.

Ok, I am officially confused.

Is an Aero Tiger the same as a Thunder Tiger?

This inquiring mind wants to know.

Rndy Smith builds his Aero Tiger 36 in a Thunder Tiger 36 case. That's about where the similarity ends!

Me Bad ,I refereed to it as a TT when it is an AT,I have both.
Let me be very clear,I have 3 or 4 stock TTs, 2 or 3 Randy modified TTs
and 4 ATs and as you could tell from my previous post ,the ATs are the most user friendly of the bunch.

I don't use the stock motors in stunt planes,they are in foam combat planes and fed by bladders/metal tanks.
In fact when I got back into flying several years ago ,I had a 590 sq in foamy with landing gear and metal tank ,it was named "this is not a stunt ship."

I changed it Buzz. It now says Aero Tiger 36.

As to the name: "this is not a stunt ship", have you EVER built a STUNT SHIP?

??

See ya soon.

Yep He has

Randy

Busby · « **Reply #9 on:** April 20, 2006, 08:24:06 AM »

Yes I have , it had a V6 Mercury on it that developed about 325 HP. That thing under certain conditions would do some very interesting tricks.
It would also wet my balding head occasional.

Ah.... Buzz...........

"When you LEAST expect it!!!!!!!!"

Your oversized flying Buddy....

Just remember, the old man has more than one trick in the bag.
