Thanks and yes, the Nova based engines have the locating pin 180º opposite to the STS. This is why we have a Dremel, of course.

Yes, expensive. . . . . and the JP's are just rediculous.
I like the idea of AAC - uniform materials expansion and all that.
Apparently the aircraft boys swear by it.

I don't know about Sirio piston / sleeve but it should fit nicely on any Nova based engine. Like I mentioned earlier, you need to cut an extra slot / groove for the STS piston sleeve to fit onto a Nova based crankcase. I believe the Nova one is somewhere 90 degree offset from the STS one (can't remember CW or CCW). The pic I have attached shows a STS crankcase with a STS piston sleeve.
I believe the Sirio sleeve will have different timings as the rod length on the Sirio is slightly longer than a Nova based engine.

My AAC Sirio look very promising, about 3 litre fuel through it, it still feel tight on TDC when it cold and hot.

Since it is Fathers Day today, I figured I could get away with it.
Errrm . . . I thought the "top_gun" was the "777" and that it was a moded 3-port Sirio?
I'm confused, now.

We are preparing to have P/S sets AAC and berilium brass construction for novas based engines mutch cheaper, price did not determinated yet. The quantiyty can be unlimited and it will depend on how many we are going to use.

difference in sts engines
The one on ebay (above link) is the "OLD VERSION".
One easy way to tell is :
crankcase old : black (dark), new : gun metal (light)
rubber piece on slide carb old : blue, new : black

No TG, no problem.
I was just clarifying that our engine will be new not a mod based on anything else. No sweat guys, no problem here, carry on.

OS?.....Team ORION?...Team Fantom?.....the new STS motors?....
lets hear it....
