[NSRCA-discussion] TOJEIRO 140

[brett terry]

That is the same engine as the MVVS 26cc Petrol, and it really comes alive
on a tuned pipe.  You can also order it from Pe Reveirs in The Netherlands
for EU275 ($330 US) shipped.  He provides great service, is extremely
knowledgeable, and ships very quickly.  He posts on RCU very often.  He
reports the following:

>Typical rpm figures:
>Prop-dimension-rpm-muffler
>APC 16/12 7300-7400 3266
>APC 16/10 8100-8300 3266
>APC 18x8N 8100-8200 3266
>Mejzlik 18/8 8100-8200 3266
>Mejzlik 18/8 7200-7300 3270
>Mejzlik 18/8 6700-6800 3298

(The 3266 is a full-length tuned pipe, and costs an additional $37.  The
last two numbers are using smaller side or compact exhausts, displaying the
benefit of the pipe.  Added up, the engine plus the tuned pipe -- including
header, coupler, mounting hardware -- will cost under USD$370 shipped).

Paul at Just Engines in England also sells this engine for about the same
price.  Those of us on the east coast of the US are amazed at just how fast
shipping can be from Europe.

Dick Hanson put this engine with a pipe in a Hangar 9 Showtime.  It weighs
10# 2oz dry, and flies like an overpowered foamie.  I think he uses an 18x6
NX prop.  Total weight of the engine, header, pipe, ignition, battery,
switch, and accessories.  Of course you can use a much smaller fuel tank, so
that should save a bit of weight.  Using one of Ed Skorepa's or Aeroslave's
carbon pipes will help as well.

Of course, I don't know if this will provide the combination of thrust AND
speed required for pattern.
