[QUOTE=Vortexx;2881791][COLOR=Blue]"turboomni" I never doubted Chris's knowledge about gas engines...SO please read back and get off your high horse. What I did say is clear enough to those of us who can see past our own egos.

That was what I was trying to get YOU to do SIR!!

In my opinion the best motor is still a Hanson G26, for best overall power and pitch lugging as well as smoothness.

If you motor has alot of end play in it its possible that the motor was crashed and the crank was compressed. That could also cause the crank to be out, 1 thousands is OK but could be better more like 1/2 thousands on the crank.

You can get a 231 for the 'rpm' but when you load it the motor will slow right down. Think of it like a dremel tool it has speed but no torque. Think of the 26 more so in torque like a drill. Less speed but more torque when you load it the motor is going to lug and hold the rpms.

One motor is going to run fast, slow down when you load it and pick right back up, the other motor is going to run a little slower, and hold its rpms better (less loss) when you load it giving you a more consistent head speed.. That would be the difference.

This has been my finding as well. Use the engine that is suited for your needs. Want a quick revved up racer, get yourself a 231. Want and engine to pull your heli around like a tractor, get yourself a 26 or larger engine.

thank you rbort, it took me three pages to find the answer I was looking for...G260 it is...Settled on a BH Hanson. I'd ask for some quick tips on breaking it in, but I'm enjoying the smack talk so much that I'll see what other threads have to offer.

Great choice and I'm sure you'll be very please with it as I am
