My Engine Running.

down wind pass of course helped.

The 2oz Nano II was designed to hold higher speeds in all directions.
I have yet to fully document it's abilities on Youtube. I have bought a 4k video
camera to film it better it's on the to do list.

Based on existing testing it has gone 11.4% faster with the same props to date.
The plane in theory could hit 68 to 70 mph down wind pass on a stock prop.

2.56 x 4N prop has gone 130 mph with the Nano I
Should do 140 to 145 mph with the Nano II.

When running free in the air the engine does not have to work as hard. It runs cooler
and the metal parts are under less stress.

Stock props and modified props used in the Nano I and the Nano II.

Note I have not reset the ball socket since it's first reset after 4 bench tests and about 7 flights.

I don't own many TD .010's but willing to fly fast

Even back when I built up my collection it was not cheap. If you make careful bids
on eBay you can yield good purchases. Sometimes it is all or nothing.

To my surprise the small .010 engine can handle very high rpm, the metal
strength to wear ratio is good with this size engine. I also have more aluminum
carb bodies, back plates, spinners, fuel tanks, many glow plugs and stock props.
Look forward to years of enjoyable projects and flying with them.
