I have a C90 that is just not enough power for those hot calm days when getting out of the water is difficult. I was thinking about a larger engine but cannot...
Hi Robert, I hope this can get a reality - I have the same target - my O-200 is at the overhaul shop at the moment, IŽll use new ECI nickel- carbide cylinders...
We're mostly on the Quickie engine forum but here goes: I'm guessing it's a Champ, Chief or S-Cub on Edo 1400's, or PK 1600s, or North Aires? The C90 has a...
Joachim, I have a pretty fast Q200. I have Dual Lightspeed Plasma III Ignitions, Custom Forged 9.4:1 Lycon Pistons, Polished, ported and flow balanced Superior...
Actually the C90 and the O-200 are identical except for the camshaft profile. As long as the engine has the thru bolt stud connecting the center two cylinders ...
Robert, Would you write me off-line docrw@... _____ From: Q-200_Engine_Group@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Q-200_Engine_Group@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of ...
... Light Speed setup though. I think the high compression cylinders and pistons along with a good port, polish, and flow matched head will give the biggest...
Robert, You're right about your "bang for the buck theory". I saw the most increase in performance doing what you are suggesting. The benefit for me with dual...
Jim, I have a Taylorcraft on 1650 floats that's 1020 empty . I was told to limit the gagets, which unfortunately I did not listen too. That being said I still...
Robert, My low idle is about 450 rpms. Plane will stand still at that RPM. At 650 RPM its moving. Jim ... considering I have every ammenity one would ever need...
Jim, I would love to get my O200 to idle smoothly at 450-500 Rpm. What is your timing advance for that RPM? What is your RPM increase when you slowly pull the...
Hey Earnest, When my engine is cold it will idle at 450 rpm but not smoothly. When warmed up, it idles smoothly at about 500 but easily runs at 450 (throttle...
Excellent, I may have to switch out at least one mag then at some time but for now I'll do the HP changes first to see what I net . One step at a time to see...

Jim, on your "hot ship" with about 120 horses, what prop type and size do you have and how many revs does it pull at which speed? I'm interested because my...
Earnest, On the ignition you have, the timing advance drops to zero below 600 RPM. That's why I modified the timing on this system to get that same idle...

I try to taylor, get it, my answer.to the plane. Joachim has a pattern plane on the way and has to think about lots of abrupt temperature changes. Robert's...
Chris, My stock 0200 used a 60/66 Warnke and I really liked that prop. When Ie pumped it up, I had to install a 60/72 Catto composite prop to absorb the added...
Actually my Taylorcraft is in the Amateur Built category, Experimental as you call it in the US. I could use the Ellison or LSI's electronic ignition but I...
Jim what is your top speed at full power level flight on 75-80 deg day at sea level. as clean as your ship is we all know its one of the fastest? Im seeing 193...
Wow! 193MPH cruise . I would be elated if I could get 93 mph, I get at best 75-80mph. Two extremes I have seen in my plane are 137 one day with a kick ass...
Jim, interesting and useful - thanks for that. I think perhaps my 60x66 prop must have a bit finer pitch than it claims as I get about 2450 rpm on roll and the...
Bart, 202-205 MPH + "full out, balls to the wall, tail on fire " Not that fast but fast enough. I still need to do plenums which will help cooling drag, which...
Jim are you turning a three blade prop? I know more climb? but two would help with top speed? I would love to see a Q take kitty to Osh Sam is giving it a hell...
Bart, Many times I see 1500-2000' climb depending on loading,temps and wind but I can count on 1500'fpm average. I use a 60/72 two blade Catto. As for OSH, its...
I didn't think you'd go for flipping the prop. Don't they have a piston with compression inbetween 9.4 and 7 to one? The polish, match and flow port is just...
Don't always trust the Tach, I was surprised to find both of my readings were off as much as 250 rpm. I used a accurate digital photocell tach hand held from...
Robert, thanks. In fact I had this advice last year when I was trying to find extra revs. So I did indeed get a digital tach and it confirmed (pretty close)...
I have Westach as well however both were reading incorrect. I'm using electrical gauges connected to the mags. I don't know how accurate these are compared to...
