Evolution 52 Heli Engine

[jahatton]

Hi Friends, been a long time from this site. I bought an Evolution 52H for the Century Falcon and want to know if any other people have used them.
I didn't want the OS 50 hyper as it isn't practical for lifting a camera. Got it started today and it fired within seconds of cranking but had some fuel tank issues which kept it from running.
It sure isn't like the OS which needs little to setup. The low end needle has a dial on it to turn and it is real easy to mess up a good setting. Will try tomorrow to put an O ring behind the nob to stiffen it up.
The Raven which I flew a lot crashed and was cheaper to buy a (Century built) Heli-Max Kinetic.

Hi Friends, the low end needle kept vibrating closed and starving the engine of fuel. The way they designed the heli carb is good only they don't say what the settings should be in the manual, I added a spring behind the dial to give it friction.
Testing continues tomorrow.
