    Sullivan Dynatron

    Each pole in a motor is independent and an independent winding that's how the commutator able to time it. It's about the electrical arrangement, not the physical property of how the terminations to the commutator are made. The motor is probably wasted Frank. The only thing that could be...

    A new nitro engine coming soon (some say I am mad for doing this!)

    ^^^ Absolutely amazing. I can't imagine keeping up with that thing to fly it.

    Discussion on lowering nitro %

    Correct - that's a given. Tuning is tuning. Optimization of the tune is optimization of the tune. As the fuel changes (% of nitromethane) the tune needs to change. As the conditions change, the tune needs to change to maintain an "optimal" setup. The more nitromethane, the narrower the...

    Discussion on lowering nitro %

    That's an interesting thought. They larger motors run at a lower peak RPM which equates to the time period being longer.

    Discussion on lowering nitro %

    Correct. To manage the heat from higher nitromethane fuels takes static CR and operating temperature adjustments. The farther up the hill one goes, the more critical things become. That being said there are heat ranges for glow plugs and managing things (static CR & operating temperature)...

    Discussion on lowering nitro %

    Please quantify the "differences" relative to the fuel and performance. Maybe I should have referenced the 2 wheeled hill pro hill climbers - they run 4 strokes and 2 strokes on nitro. Nitromethane is nitromethane and running it is running it. Thx.

    Leaves me wondering why the NHRA pro's run 90% with 60lbs of manifold boost in the 500" V8's? Just sayin...

    Discussion on lowering nitro %

    Save money by lowering nitro? With the overall expense of this hobby, that's pretty absurd. Non-recurring cost of building models, having a shop to do so - yeah you can use a converted fishing tackle box and work on the kitchen table. To race requires spare parts - again this could be $100 or...

    ^^^ Things are far worse than George Orwell predicted in his book 1984 - far worse. Everything we do is tracked in some manner. The city knows when I flush a toilet in my house at 3 am. The alarm company with the motion sensors know which bathroom I used. Financial transactions, buying...

    Where in the hell is the OFF TOPIC THREAD on the forum?

    The democrats have definitely honed the "Don't worry, we'll save you from the Boogie Man" schpeel down to a fine art. The sky is falling, the sky is falling and we're the only one's that can save things. Everyone else is therefore 'The enemy". And they have a fully indoctrinated hoard of...

    Good grief, a heaping helping of word salad. So, government handouts are simply "Free Money" now and everything's "already been paid for". That's insane.

    Is there an easy way to do this?

    Here's a different path and a long shot. When I have had problems with engines running and just quitting for no reason I could find in the fuel system, I finally checked engine operating temperature. I've over-cooled before with much the same aggravating results. Another something to check.
