Hi, I’ve just installed this engine in a PilotRc extra330, fits fine but needed to cut a small square out of the cowl to clear the Walbro carb and obviously to allow air to the carb. I haven’t run it yet but a bit concerned as the diaphragm breather hole is facing directly into wind, wondering if this will cause leaning issues with the carb when flying?
I am sorry to say that I don't have the Python anymore. I have to turn planes over to help fund the next reviews. I really don't have a good answer for you on this though I suspect it would be close only on the left (pilots) side but I just do not know for sure.
Thanks for the answer Tom. Since you do a lot of reviews, and I really appreciate your hard work. Maybe you would know if there is a smaller spark plug cap available somewhere? I saw a fourm in flying giants and a gentleman had a Python with an EME 70. And yes you could see he made two relief holes just for the caps....sigh!
I was referring to your "EME 70 Twin Unboxing and Installation" video from Dec 28, 2015 where the aircraft is the same Yak 55 used to test the three cylinder Saito 60 radial. My question is - would the radial be more at home in a warbird or civilian aircraft rather than an aerobat? I have a Great Planes Pitts 50cc S12 I was thinking of putting it in - just for fun.
I wouldn't put the radial in an aerobat machine. It's better suited to a warbird or other non-aerobatic civilian design. In the YAK the radial did pull it around but couldn't get itself out of a hover. If I wanted to power that YAK with a radial I would at least go to the 84cc version.
Dear Sr : Please I would like your advice about break in . I bought an EME 70 and I'm going to do the break in process. I have two manuals of the SAME engine advising different things. One says to avoid synthetic oil (with a lot of emphasis) in breakin and use 30: 1 in the process. The other says that I can use mineral or synthetic and suggests 25: 1 Please what do you think about it?
You really need to talk to them about the two manuals. The synthetic warning is pretty common as they lubricate so well the engine takes a long time to seat. Other than that, I'm not going to prescribe a break in routine that might compromise the engine warranty. Check with them to be sure, and save the correspondence.
Hello , I really like your Reviewed! I have a question: I bought this week a PILOTRC 3D aircraft, 92" EXTRA 330. I am very debating what engine to purchase for him, DA 70 very expensive Or EME 70 I would be happy if you would help me decide between them. Thanks in advance.
Easy question, the DA70. Great engine and it will last a lifetime. It is expensive to start with but the reliability, smooth running, power to spare and super long life makes it worth every penny.
I recently moved the EME70 to my AeroWorks Edge 540 and that has become an animal. The EME70 continues to work perfectly with no carb adjustments from the factory settings. I have found that you start this motor and let it idle (a bit high idle) for 30 to 45 seconds to get a little heat in it and then the transition from idle to full speed cleans up. It just needs a tick of internal heat to smooth out. We should be letting motors warm up a bit before flying anyway. Bottom line is that the EME70 continues to be very impressive in its reliability and power. I will not hesitate to buy another EME motor.
I use a Vess 23B on my giant Edge 540 and it works well on that. YOu have to experiment to find the right prop for your plane but I doubt it will be under 23".
Very nice. Fun to watch such a "crisp" plane. Close to unlimited power too. With a pilot Who can do the stuff it's made for.
i just got one of these cant wait thanks for this video fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent narrated Review & Video
great videos , keep them coming.

Good afternoon Tom, Papa Sal here from Reno. Do you think the EME 70 will fit in your Pitts Python, and stay inside your cowl? Thanks Sal

Do you have any firewall left because all the motores you tried. LOL

I don;t know of any smaller plug ends and can;t really see how they could make them small enough to really matter in terms of size.
Why isn't it buffed out like they show it on the website? That kinda sucks. I just ordered one.

Better than the Saito Radial in the same aircraft or just different power? Looks like more power on the video.
The EME70 is a totally different animal than the Saito Radial. This is my Aeroworks Edge and it never had te radial in it.

@@flyingrcdotnet wise advice, thank you
Hello ,

@@flyingrcdotnet I was sure you would recommend me to the EME70...
What diameter fuel line do you use for this engine?
I think I've always had 1/8" line on it and it runs just a tick rich as I like.
If you were to buy today would you choose an EME 70 or GP76?
Probably EME if I couldn't find something from Valley View RC or Da
@@flyingrcdotnet DLE x EME what is your opinion please?
DLE, easy call there.
great plain we're can I get one at in michigan
+Max wheelhorse4life redwingrc.com for the plane, milehighrc.com for the engine
+thintz12 thank you
How's the EME 70 holding up?

nice lands
what size prop you used? does it use the same prop hole pattern as dle 55?
I use a Vess 23B on my giant Edge 540 and it works well on that. YOu have to experiment to find the right prop for your plane but I doubt it will be under 23".
Does this have the same dle 55 bolt pattern?
Flyer-rcplane YO might have to do a google search now and then. I don;t have a dle55
I found out that it is the same bolt pattern as DLE 55
