Post  NewBee Mon Aug 05, 2019 2:25 pm

Hello, I have an 0.049 RC Phoenix engine from EX Model Engines which I got for a flying wing (it's a long term project at this point).  This engine has a throttle ring, a.k.a an acceleration control ring, on it and I have read that these things can cause the engine to overheat at low speeds and at idle since.  Given the way they work, this seems very likely to happen if the engine is left to idle for any extended amount of time.  I was wondering if this undesirable engine heating could be delayed, or ideally eliminated, by increasing the quantity of caster oil in the fuels that are normally used.  I was planning on using Sig Champion 25, with 25% nitro and 20% oil, 10% caster and 10% synthetic, but now I am reconsidering that choice.  I am thinking of increasing the caster oil content to 12%-15%.  I am leaning towards 12% and possibly something with less nitro in it.  For now, let's suppose I'll use the Sig Champion 25 fuel.  I am aware that this will lead to the build-up of a varnish at a faster rate and so require more frequent engine cleaning, but if it offers a protective advantage, then that price is acceptable.  I would be interested in your opinions on this.  What oil percentage do you think would be desirable?

The increased caster oil quantity, since it will act as a coolant, is going to affect the idle.  Specifically, it should make slower idle speed less stable, forcing higher idling speeds.  It will also cool the glow head/plug at a faster rate.  What have you done to counteract this problem?  

Thanks

I use home blended 60/20/20 fuel with all-castor and have very good idle without engine overheating.

The only reason castor is used in cox engines is to
FORM varnish to protect the balljoint you should use
5% castor and 15% coolpower which contains all the
Ep additives you will ever need with the added bonus
Of less cylinderde varnishing this iwhat i use as the synthetic
Is virtually self cleaning

So if the Coolpower cleans the varnish off the cylinder, what stops it from also cleaning it out of the ball joint?
I was led to believe that a certain amount of varnish was beneficial as it helped seal the piston to cylinder better.

I  could not agree more..all-castor varnish makes up for material losses due to wear and thus helps retain compression. Balljoint is protected by caked varnish. Hence I will never use any synthetic oil in COX fuels only castor. At least my experience confirms the theory.

I can assure you that is  the general spirit of this forum...never before your arrival, however, a member has referred to another one as idiot and blind  because of a different opinion. In my humble manners age, seniority and even expertise should not justify arrogant adjectives, let alone the expected politeness of newcomers. You may use whatever language you want but you will not find friends here with your introductory manners.

While it's certainly ok to disagree, it is not ok by any decent person's standard to speak offensively about others, using words such as "fools" and "morons".  If you wish to behave offensively Rex, I suggest you find another group that finds your manner acceptable.  You won't find that acceptance here as we strive to be a group of decent, polite and tolerant people who don't claim to be the ultimate authority in everything such as you have done.  We don't need you.  Unfortunately I happen to be stuck in the same country as you are, but I'm thankful that attitudes such as yours are not typical of our countrymen.

Too bad, I think he had something to offer, he just presented it as if he was God's gift.

Yes obviously this person had a short fuse. However I could tell that they loved the Cox engine/hobby as we all do. There's no reason to be rude either way, period. Sad, never argue with a fool, cause there is no difference!!! Maybe he or she has some issues going on that we don't fully understand. All we can do now is wish e'm all good things and move on. Not defending this person what so ever!! I hate downer dribble!! Don't Worry be happy folks!! Onward and upward!!!! ,Mark

I agree Rod, to bad Rex stepped in with his usual negative comments and as the last straw set us all off. I knew one day it would all come to a head.

Yep. Clearly same man and same manner. Seems we're not the problem. Let's put this to bed.

Anyone got any comments on the use of throttle rings?
