I use Hitec 555 receivers in most of my 1/2A planes.

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

I'd feel comfortable with a Berg in any of my planes, including .46 or larger. I only put my GWS receivers in my slow flying electrics. I can almost make a GWS glitch on command. If I fly at the...

Regular rubber breaks down in glow fuel. Silicone doesn't.

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

bogateer,

Can you post a picture? It sounds like you may have an older AME .061 (they are marked 1.0cc, which is .061cu) in a BigMig box. What colour is the cylinder? Take the head off and...

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

KidEpoxy,

You may have just touched on why some people have had problems starting Norvels, especially by hand. They're a lot easier to start with the throttle open.

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

The AME and BigMig use the same head. The number you have is for a short plug adaptor. The part number you want is NVL110131.

http://www.greathobbies.com has them in stock.

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

I like using screws because I DON'T want the muffler to rotate. Once it is set, I want it to stay there.

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

Rod,

Good to hear you're getting it sorted out.
Don't worry about setting the needle until you've broken it in. Run several tanks through it and use a smaller prop for break-in, like a 5X3.

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

It really shouldn't be that complicated. Call SIG and have it replaced. They replaced one of the earliest .074s (1999) for me because it was only getting 18,000 on a 6X3 and 16,000 on a 7X3.

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

No, that is not normal. The Norvel .074 is one of the nicest running engines in any size. It throttles as well as an OS and has a lot of power for its size. It also has a much lower idle than the...

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

IMO there is only one prop for the .074. A 7X3. I wish there was an 8X2.

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

Here are some of the muffler changes on the .049s and .061s.
On the earlier AME the muffler just had a hole where it attached to the engine and was prone to rocking back and forth, giving a poor...

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

Here you can see some of the things that have evolved. The old ABC cylinder is now Revlite. The head is now larger to match the larger fins. The carb has changed shape and is now bolted instead of...

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

I've had no problems with the AMEs. Little higher idle and a little higher RPMs than the BigMigs.
