Excellent engine

Excellent engine. I installed this engine in an ESM beaver. The engine works perfect and the noise is incredible. I fly 15 minutes and consumes only 300 ml gasoline. It is a piece of art for me for this low and reasonable price. I am eager every weekend to fly my beaver and hear this incredible sound of a 4 stroke petrol engine.

Runs great

I'm thinking this must be version 2 of this engine. The crankcase relief valves are now plumbed to the intake. Except for the front bearing nipple. With a "Y" connector I simply tapped this to one existing tube running to the intake. Starts easy. Runs stable and smooth transition. Will idle at 1700-1800 forever. Will be installed on a ESM 30cc Beaver. So far nothing negative I can say about this engine. I have also installed the aftermarket muffler offered on this site. Very reasonable price for a solid cut aluminum muffler, compared to the ridiculous cost of the other cheap, thin aluminum offered on this and other similar sites... I would buy another without hesitation if I needed one.

Surprising value and performance for the $. Pulls a 1/4 scale Tigermoth with authority and nice four stroke sound through the straight pipe, no muffler needed. Arrived tuned and ready to run. Needed 1/8 leaner turn on the low end jet. Idles smoothly at low RPM. Transitions to full throttle instantly. I also run an OS FG40 four stroke gasser. The OS has more power, but for $450 less, I'm planning to order another NGH soon. Measure your cowl length though. With rear carb and a long crankcase this engine is longer than some others. I took 1 3/4" off of the engine box for the Tigermoth and reinforced the new firewall well with gussets and fiberglass.

Bought a new one of these last summer. Had to go to Aus tars for a beam mount and Big Pla nes for a muffler. Apart from that, the thermal spacer (white washer was not flat and was causing an air leak in the inlet. After fixing that, it ran great. Is being fitted in a 1/3 scale SpaceWalker. A friend then sold me a slightly used one for 60 (Thats what I said) and also had the same problem. Quickly sorted, it flew last sunday in a Cap 232 72" span and was a great performer. Very clean, sounds right, and lasts 15min on a 16oz tank. Using a 20 x 8 prop at 6000rpm

I have received this engine from hobbyking recently. It was in a perfect condition when it arrived. All additional components neatly packed in separate bags. I have read on some fora that people received their engines with damaged cooling fins, but not this one. Must point out that these engines where not supplied by HK.

Assembled everything and can't wait to start her up tomorrow. As soon as I have tested it I will post video's
