  • Page 6: Engine Cooling

    Deflecting of the air (baffling) to and over the cylinder(s) is highly recommended for engine cooling. The idea is to get all of the cool air that is coming through the air intake opening(s) to hit the middle of the cylinder(s) directly, and then be forced over the cylinder(s), creating turbulent air moving www.3w-modellmotoren.com...

    Important: The interior of the fuselage must be sealed to prevent damage from gasoline that sprays from the carburetor. Use a thin epoxy or other appropriate fuel proofing method. Do not overlook this step as gasoline will melt some materials like Styrofoam very quickly. www.3w-modellmotoren.com...
  • Page 8 Canister mufflers To prevent damage to the header(s) a flexible support bracket is required to mount the canister(s). The location for this bracket should be at the canister's center of gravity. 3W canisters have a reinforcement ring at this location.

  • Page 11 Use a high Octane unleaded fuel (from 92 Octane is recommended) • We use 3W 2-stroke oil in our engines here in Germany, but there are other high grade 2-stroke oils that will perform well. Note: The engine needs 12-20 hours running time for the break in process to be 100% complete.

    The spark plug cap must be firmly seated to the sparkplug. If the spark plug cap is not firmly seated there is a very good possibility that you will experience radio interference. • Use only ignition on/off switches recommended by 3W • 6 volts is required for the ignition.
  • Page 13 • Make sure that no gasoline will be splashed into the hot muffler(s). • Only 3W mufflers, or mufflers authorized by 3W with an acceptance (test) number, should be used. • Only 3W-ignition systems should be used for proper operation.
