have you tried amain.. i sent them a bunch of engines last week.. they should have them by now..

Clay,

I just got in a back up .24 pre run from A-main yesterday.

As far as My flight / trip to phoenix..Well they told me over the phone it was okay, at check in okay....40 minutes prior to boarding they said no go as the possible residue of fuel in the tank, lines and motor may ignite..whatever.

See ya at the trac...Wise choice on your future new set-up that new 2.0 looks hooked up on the track.

Go to your LHS and get some "Piano Wire" in the correct diameter. It is usually in 2 foot sections and just cut and bend to size. It is used by the airplane guys for thier linkages.

all the .21's show on back order

My guess would be A-main has the engines, but they have to fill their back orders first before they put any remaining up for grabs.

Just opend up the ET .24 PR and with the glow out it seems to have a higher than normal slop at TDC. It moves about 1/16 of a turn plus when at top dead center. If you have the fly wheel on and look at the clutshoe pin and turn the flywheel, it moves 1/2 to 3/4 of an "Hour"

I do not recall any other motor I have purchased having that much slop including my last .24 ET pre-run motor. In fact the one with 3 gallons I have doesn't have that much now, in fact it has no noticable slop at all !!!!

Just wondering if anyone else seems to have that much slop in there motors that they recently received.

Got a PM into Chad, I am sure he will handle it appropriately for me.

its back order but they should be stocking up again as they do try this it works good and can be cut to length you need

Slop Update
 

Well I put a glow in there and wa-lah no slop...

I didn't think they would have shipped it if there was a problem.

It is nice to have another bad azzz motor for a back - up!

rod slop
 

I did the same thing. thought something was wrong with the motor. motor is slop free with the plug in and idles better than any motor I have ever run. Now that have everything sealed up it's got power everywhere. took me a while to get the feel of how it likes to be tuned, but it's a MF FM 24 beast now!! I can't wait to get it on big track so it can stretch it's legs!!

Glad to hear I am not the only one who thought the rod was bad!

Agreed on the best motor part. I did not seal my current motor and have had no tuning problems per say. I am sealing this one up everywhere and I bet I get better run times as I can probably restrict the fuel flow a bit more.

Still getting 8 + min with a jp-3 and a long header. My Bigboy is on b/o from my LHS.

carb restrictors
 

hey chad or anyone who knows ...what types of carb restrictors fit the extech .24 ....prolly allready asked and answered sorry ...hook a brother up:lol:
