Are these engines anodized (Crank Case/Cylinder/Head)? Would you guys consider custom color anodizing for a fee?

Hi
Any news about when they will be coming to the UK
I can't wait
Sound like the power is awesome.
some of the pitches people are using
my poor old os 50 can't pull 11 deg's

We were thinking to do a Limited Addition with some Anodizing. Let me ask everyone, where and what color wold you like to see.

[kazager]

If you would do a one-off, I'd like to see THE WHOLE THING ORANGE. I'd also consider Black. I think coloring only the head would be a waste since it's shrouded and you can't see it.

Hi KME owners, I have a KME in my 600 and was wondering, do I treat it exactly the same as a hyper 50 as far as tuning goes, for example - start at 1 1/2 turns out and lean to 1 3/4 if it suits, I had no manual with the motor.

Yes I would start the Needle at 1 1/2 turns out no less it need to be a little more open that the Hyper 50 because it is a bigger motor.

1 1/2 to 1 1/4 is what the optimum running range for the fuel delivery depending on where you live. you can go as rich as 1 3/4 but no more.

Run your engine temp at 180 deg to 195

Break in the motor as to specs at the web site.

Hi Jerome, I've been having trouble lately with the transition from idle to half throttle. It idles fine and it start accelerating fine then it stalls, I either close the idle needle all the way and try again, or open the needle a hair if it was close all the way. Do you, or anybody, know what may be going on. I was thinking of changing the carb and see what happens?

Double O

[double0757]

I changed the glow plug and that seems to make it better, it does not stall now, but it hesitate when going from fast idle to half throttle. Could a hotter glow plug help?

Florida sea level, 45 F cold, fuel is, Byron 30% rotor rage (good fuel). Double O

you might have some small particles of dust or sand in the Carb. Try pulling the needles and blow some gas through them. It might be easier if you take the carb off but if your careful you can do it when on the heli...

Yes Its true. I have no Idea how you guys found out so Quickly we just released this info to our dealers.
We now make our own CNC billet Carb for the Diamond .60 and we don't have to buy a carb from OS. So we are turing on the savings on to our customers.

Any pics of the new pipe yet I am looking at getting my first nitro heli and would like to get a KME motor and pipe combo. Love to have a sneak peek and a estimated price.

I will put one up on Monday, along with the new carb.

Here are a few pic's of what I received in the mail today. So pretty!!! I'm hoping to have this new carb installed and tested this Sat!

Thanks Jerome!

Can anyone advise if they have a backplate sensor working with a gov off this motor?

[motomanmel]

We set up all of our engines this way should work fine. Try backing of the sensor a little with a washer, but it might be to close or to far.

Sweet, Thanks!
