General Nitro engine rebuild video

[Geena]

Well, it look as though that video tutorial I mentioned doing in the live stream last night might happen sooner than expected. My NX7 lost power today, during the flight I was filming, and shut off as soon as I hit TH to land. After 6+ cases of fuel, it needs a new ring. Sooooo I`m ordering parts from Richard at YS engines on Monday. I`ll be replacing the ring, piston, conrod and bearings. The piston is still good, but it has some questionable areas on it. So I`m replacing it just for my own peace of mind. I`ll get the video done as soon as I get the parts in from YS.

Awesome about the video, suckage about having to actually rebuild it. But 6 cases is quite a long time for a nitro engine, so you got your moneys worth out of it, that's for sure.

Yeah. I fly the crap out of them...lol I usually have to rebuild a couple times a year. That`s one of the reasons I keep a couple of spare engines on hand..haha
