That is an odd looking cooling head on that ASP, but then again there is so many variants out there, you never know.
I see, your are prob right, I thought I saw a Chinese 10cc rc plane engine, most likely it was 15cc then.
Was at the club yesterday and a guy with a AX was having issues tuning it, actually his first AX piston tore the liner for some reason, and this brand new one he installed wasn't running right. In the end he said he has a LA 46 which he will put on it. Found that funny. LA again takes the win.
Also, have you tried flying or see someone fly a control line plane at your club?
Another guy I spoke to, purchased a $4 foam plane from a store, added a bell crank and elevator made to work.
Thin plywood firewall and strapped a cox 049 on it. It flew great.
I want to try this, as I have a few 049 cox engines, just need to buy one of those glow plug converters so it can take a standard glow plug.
Managed to land perfect a few times yesterday, was told I can soon take the test and fly solo.
You're right about 10cc 2-stroke gassers (and even 6 and 9's,) I just meant within 4-strokes that were also gassers.
My club has a control line area, I haven't given it a spin yet...
A simple, wire -shaft driven control line plane was one of my first forays into flight when I was a wee lad, so it would be fun to revisit that for sure.
I see mention of those peeling liners now and then, fingers crossed it doesn't affect mine. I hope that with my surface engine experience I'll have a head start on tuning and engine care. I'll be running a 15% nitro, 2% castor, 16% synthetic blend that should be good for just about any engine.
Congrats on the flying successes!
