Re: Planing for next years speed weekend, (1/2 scale Argus)

Thanks, i think i will give your version a try. Do you think i could make the tailpipe 1400mm and then make a slightly larger pipe that's slides over it, so i can try different lengths from 1400mm to 1700mm by just sliding the pipe back and forth? Do you know what frequency its going to operate on w...

Re: Planing for next years speed weekend, (1/2 scale Argus)

One thing that i am planning to improve on this engine is the fuel system, so today i did some experimenting with home-made fuel nozzles. The nozzles are really simple, the pressurised fuel is pushed through a 0.8mm hole and hits the end of a 2mm pin that then creates a fine mist. (I will try to mak...

Re: Planing for next years speed weekend, (1/2 scale Argus)

Thanks for your reply , Accordingly to WebPilot's calculations with 0.25mm valves i did get 0.455 which is not that fare from 0.431. "The new dfr computation using these revised parameters, is dfr = 76/167 = 0.455 which differs by +5.59% from the requisite value of 0.431. These valves should still l...
