Great video Robot. What % oil did you have in the fuel? Apart from the natural cooling of the large heat sink mounted on the engine head, did you use some firced ventilation too? That engine must have run very hot.

Re: **VOTE-ON-THE-NEXT-COX-ENGINE-OF-THE-MONTH** (June 2019)
i beleve i used 20 or 25% oil
half syntetic half castor
and it ran only a few degrees above nitro temp
and what amazed me most is that it hardly used fuel
(what did i expect with the needle only 0.5-0.75 turns opened)

Thanks. Yes the calorific value of gasoline (43MJ/kg) is more than twice that of the methanol (19.9MJ/kg) so the fuel-air mixture is much leaner and fuel consumption is much less with gasoline.

Fun stuff way to go Robot congratulations!
Post a vid of the boat running we would like to see that!
Here is a .05 engine powering my 1/2A outrigger hydro design.
Published on Oct 9, 2016
1st Run - Picco P-Zero Outrigger Hydro Profi Tuned Pipe
.85cc / .050 cu. in. / 1/2A car engine converted for boat use.
Very stable, needle valve set a bit rich for the first few
runs, need to lower the strut a bit, tracks very well.
Will do another vid after I tweak the setup.
Stock X427 / 20% castor 30% Nitro. Per Doppler
reading best pass 62.25 Kph or 38.68 mph pitch speed / 27,290 rpm
Looked like around 35 after trimming it out.
