Used Gas Model Airplane Engines
I have a rc model airplane that is gas powered. I have not started it in years. Help?
I have a model airplane that I got like 6 years ago, lmao. Dosn’t seem like that long , but i guess it has. I do not remember any thing on how to start it. I need help on figuring out how to start it and what i should do before i start it. I havn’t started it up in probobaly 4 years. I flew it alot For those 2 years. I know i need fuel for it i think the engine was a .60 … if that makes sense. it was a trainer. i know i had to use a glow plug and choke it and i think start at full throttle…/?
I searched the internet for stuff on how to start one and could not find. I dont want to hurt the engine by starting it up after letting it sit so just tell me if i need to take it apart and clean / lube it up. I have rebuilt car engines so i think i can figure it out, just say if you think i should do that.
THanks so much
In the event the prop will turn without any binding then you can start it as usual.
However, if you notice binding then i suggest disassemble of the engine, soaking/cleaning the internal mechanical parts then reassemble.
An RC engine is very precision concerning tolerance.
