Mintor 1.70

[Wayne Galligan]

Fernando,

This engine is just now going into an airframe so I have no air time to comment on.  So far the results on the ground on the test stand indicate mucho power.   Gray Fowler has been flying his in the same airplane as mine and his vertical performance is outstanding.

  Hi Wayne

  I have a Mintor 170 but I haven't run it yet, could you please tell me if you are happy with your Mintor, any advice for a good operation ??.

  Thanks

  Fernando

    Just a few notes on my initial test and break-in on this engine.  It has not been installed in my plane as of this writing but I cant wait.

    3M 1.70 stock header
    10 % Magnum fuel
    Bluebird c.f. 2-stroke pipe  24.25" center of head to 1st baffle.  Total length of exhaust center of head to end of pipe  31.5"

    Test day 98 degrees and about 35%+ humidity

    17x12N APC      high 8500rpm low 1600rpm
    17x13 std APC   high 8250rpm  low 1500rpm 

    This is after 5) 16oz tanks of breakin.  I broke it in just like the OS,  alternating rich to lean during first several tanks.
