I finally smartened up and started making my own exhaust gaskets. I havn't seen a single gasketless motor not get exhaust blow-by. Blow-by causes horsepower loss. My homemade gaskets work. 6 gallons on this gasket and its still holdind/sealing strong. :)

Did that muffler come with that high-polish on it or do you have too much time on your hands? :p

Definitely to much time. That's a dirty exhaust in the pic.
It has a higher polish shine to it now. :p
Side view, no canopy.

Your going to fly with no boom stabilizer?
Interesting to see what happens............i'd be worried about striking the boom as its bound to flex and move.. :eek:

Can't notice any difference, if any, it has a better flip rate. No more stabilizer for me, my flying seems very stabile. :)

Not really. Make sure you run it richer than normal for the first gallon to break/run-in the engine. It's been tough around here with the drastic weather changes. Nothing a turn of high/low needle can't fix.

Superflyer, this is the fuel pump I use.
superflyer
10-11-2006, 12:51 AM
cool and it pumps the gas out of the bottle and into the tank right? I have been managing to pour it in so far.

Now that I would pay money to see! What size tank do you have on there? :D
superflyer
10-23-2006, 08:33 PM
Not sure what size but all i know is it is small and extreamly hard to do!

I refuse to believe you fill your tank up by pouring the fuel into it. It'll never happen. Unless you have a rc buggy fuel tank.

Heli-cuzz- superflyer was teasing you becasue you have been posting so much, and much of it is rather silly. I think we all know what a fuel pump is :rolleyes: I'm not saying don't post, but when you post things that are silly or obvious, you put yourself out there for a bit of ribbing ;)

Yeah, but when you get flooded with pms asking for pics, and posts that sounds like an eleven year old is typing. Unless you know superflyer and he's acting to be eleven but is not.
My reason for posting, whether its senseless or not, the more posts this forum gets, the higher up on search engines it becomes for people looking. On the sense side of it, I post pics of my heli flying, and try to help people out, if at all possible.
The heck with it, I'm gone. I got my helis, I don't need the internet to learn how, I'm self-taught.
I like ribs :D

Heli cuzz- we certainly appriciate your posts, I did not mean to insult you, my apologies.

Aarons, with all due respect, heli-cuzz has bent over backwards to teach superflyer a thing or two and has been very patient with him. I think that was unfair.
As for his silly post, we all post silly things. It helps keep the forum going imo.

superflyer- no you are not acting like you are eleven,
Helifino- I never ment to insult heli cuzz, I read the question superflyer had asked about how long it took to get the calibur broken in and the response to that was a picture of a fuel pump, which did not make much sense, and the following post by superflyer appeared to tease about that.
guys, I hope you all don't think less of me, this has gotten way out of control for no reason. the post I made was perhaps a bit harsh, and for that I apologize.
As for Helicuzz putting in a lot of effort to help out helifino and others, thank you.
I realize there are plenty of silly posts on this and every forum, that is part of the fun. This issue needs to be laid to rest, and I hope there are no hard feelings.

I leave my feeling on the pillow when I get out of bed. :D
I still like ribs. :)
Just to rectify the fuel pump, SF asked me in a pm to post a pic of what I use to fill my heli. That's why it doesn't make any sense to the previous posts.
SF, you're not sick and crazy.
Again, no hard feelings ever, unless you mess with my heli. ;)
