am in the process of flight trimming the Excelleron for a review
in Model Aviation. The whole goal of the review is to put together a
cost-effective and non-intimidating package, to allow a Sport
flyer to 1) feel what a groovy, well set-up airplane feels like; and 2)
have a competitive mount for the first couple of seasons of Pattern
practice and or competition. I am presently trimming the plane, and for the
purposes of the review, that amounts to a baby course in trimming. The kit
includes a soft mount, which the instructions warn may not be sufficient for
a 120 four-stroke, but looked perfectly adequate for a 120 two-stroke, to
me. As it turns out, it works great with a Magnum 120 two-stroke. Right now,
I am working with the Magnum factory to get the engine just right: the
carb was originally sized for higher RPM, and the fuel draw was not
right. The factory have been incredibly cooperative, and if the engine
with revised carb runs like it does with the OS7M (yes the OS FSR 60
carb) then we have a $150 solution that allowed me to fly the FAI
schedules with plenty of horsepower, just yesterday.<?/smaller><?/color><?/fontfamily><BR> <BR><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?color><?param 0000,0000,FFFF><?smaller>A
good running 120 two-stroke is a great solution for the Excelleron, turning
a 15-10 APC, in the mid eights, with the stock muffler. Short
of convincing a newbie to put the right glow-plug in the engine, we can
eliminate the engine related learning curve. Mine is about 8-3/4 lbs. Oh
yeah, all this on 10% fuel. I'm sure that a Tiger 23 would be a good choice,
too. The 31 ounce Magnum did not make the plane too nose-heavy.<?/smaller><?/color><?/fontfamily><BR> <BR><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?color><?param 0000,0000,FFFF><?smaller>Later,<?/smaller><?/color><?/fontfamily><BR><?fontfamily><?param Times New Roman>Dean

RE: Excelleron ST'd<?/smaller><BR><BR>I looked at the Jett .90, 1.00 and
1.20. They look real nice; but seem somewhat pricey. Maybe for
my next one. As I will be flying my Excelleron90 at pattern primers, I
am trying to go lower cost options. Ordered a Tiger Shark 120 which I
plan on using with the stock muffler. Should be low enough cost that
the average flyer could afford to try
pattern.<BR> <BR>Randy <BR>-------------- Original message

Re: Excelleron
ST'd<?/smaller><BR><BR><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?smaller>Any more about
the ST2300. Looked at RC Universe, but how does it fly? Any
problems with the CG.<?/smaller><?/fontfamily><BR> <BR><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?smaller>My
OS91FX is back to a stock carb but have gone with the OS update for the rear
needle valve assembly. It is the rear needle vavle assembly for the
65LA. Mounted it on the fire wall. Put the Utlra thrust muffle
on it. Seems to have picked at lot of RPMs. You open the needle
valve a whole turn when changing from the stock to the ultra thurst
muffler. Only test runs on the apartment patio and man it is really
LOUD. May be too load to use in
pattern.<?/smaller><?/fontfamily><BR> <BR><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?smaller>Anyway,
thinking of a belated Christmas gift to myself. So what would be
better on an Excelleron90 - Tiger Shark 120, Magnum 120AR, thunder
tiger 120, Webra 120, or Super Tigre
