Well hang, we're deprived of pictures. I don't know what the trouble might be.
If you signed up at www.servimg.com as in the instructions Admin posted, then you can go to that site to manually upload and get your links rather than using the button in the forum text editor. Same as if you use any picture host such as Photobucket.com.

By pipebomb, could you mean:

E-Bay: Vintage Testors .049 Model Airplane Engine



Looks like some kind of a clamping system would have to be used, with the two tabs on the crankcase right used to prevent the motor from turning about its axis.

Send me the pictures, I'll post them


admin@coxengineforum.com

yess those and the testers 800 series with glass fiber crank cases

i just tryed emailing the pics but they keep coming back as a failure...is there something wrong with that addy?

there has to be a better way to post pics here it taken like an hour to get them to load??


i would hate to post a video!!

Pictures the size of the ones you posted above will upload much faster if you reduce it to 800pix wide on your computer before uploading. When you select 800 pix in the forum's Servimg uploader interface, it still uploads your full size picture to the host server and then changes the size on their end. That may be what went wrong with your e-mail, because your ISP may restrict e-mail attachment file sizes, and it timed out. Upload speed from residential connections are generally a tiny fraction of download speed.

My internet connection usually handles full size pics in 30 seconds at most, and 800pix pictures in a couple of seconds. My ISP downloads at 20Mbps(megabits per second. "MBps" is megabytes) and uploads at just over 1 Mbps. I just watch my modem LEDs to tell when it's finished. That's when your link codes will appear. Make sure you aren't listening to Pandora or something else using your bandwidth while you are uploading. That'll choke it.

If you post a video, you have to upload it to a video hosting site like Youtube, then paste the links into the forum. Same as I was suggesting is possible with the photo host like Servimg and Photobucket.

Now that I see the pictures. How do you secure the engine to the firewall?

If I use the forum's hosting server service to do the work, I find it very easy to upload images. Copy button doesn't seem to work in Firefox, so I simply copy and paste the HTML text that it created in the upload dialog box, then paste it in the forum. It was confusing at first until I figured it out.

Personally, I'd probably "dremel" a block of hardwood and make a beam styled clamping system, with a channel cut in the other clamp to allow the crankcase "key" on the rignt side (now down) to fit into the clamp.

More easier said than done, I'm sure there are a number of ways to do it. Of course the easiest for me is to simply not buy those engines and thus not have the inventory to worry about to start with.

But that doesn't help the OP. The builkhead cutout idea might work if there is a way to further lock down the motor to keep it from vibrating, such as wire tieing it to a form of a tying post or another piece of plywood bolted to the bulkhead that can be adjusted to press against the bulkhead and engine.

i apreate your help guys but i refuse to put my pics online where they can an will be "hacked" it has happened to me before i wont alow it to happen again even my google/youtube accout got hit


as for attaching engine to fire wall i simply epoxyed it on both sides before attaching it to model

as i said ive several models powered this way from freeflight a two chennel trainer for the g/kidds an two flying wing desighns for control line combat (the g/kidds love flying those)
as yet i only had one engine fail an that was one of the combat jobs doing a nose in (shattered the firewall)
