    Looking to fly some of my Nitro Engines more this year, I decided to clean up and run this OS Max, NSU WANKEL Nitro ROTARY Engine again and get it ready to fly in my own Flying Wing Design.

    The rotary engine is officially back, but don't expect a sleek sexy Mazda RX-7 revival to house it… yet. It's actually back as a range extender generator in the usually electric-powered Mazda MX-30, in the new, rather clunkily-named, e-Skyactiv R-EV.

    Dave with Richard. I have a nice tip for you that might be very useful. Bind plug . I have updated this bind plug with an off and on switch. you never have to remove the bind plug again. Easy to make take an old servo cut the cable off leave the two outer cables cut to length and put a small on and off switch in between. works perfectly, I also did it on my plane. greetings and Happy flying buddy. 🖐😃👍✈️🛩

    • @NightFlyyer
      @NightFlyyer  Год назад +1

      That is a good tip. One of my helicopters keeps loosing bind as well, so all I did was run a servo extension cable out to the boom. If I need to bind, I plug the bind plug into that. I like your idea as well. Thanks so much and happy flying to you as well.

    I always thought that this motor in one of the earlier helicopters like the Hiroho Shuttle would make for a smooth flyer. Your videos bring memories back of my Morley Maveric powered by a Super Tiger 61 motor.

      @@NightFlyyer Ye. Most of the Toyan engines wont even rotate. Swarf left inside them, no deburring, fundamental design issues. OS/NSU/Graupner went with the finely machined approach whereas Toyan just went 'that looks about right'. Toyan is also using sheet metal faces for the rotors which bind up the works pretty bad.
      Bloody miracle if your 350 dollar single rotor or 750 dollar twin rotor can even rotate....yeah nah I'll just buy a used OS and know it will start pretty much first flick 🤣

    The sound reminds me of one of the old rotary Datsun pickups. How much power do the nitro wankels make compared to the piston engines? Any weight savings?

    • @NightFlyyer
      @NightFlyyer  Год назад +1

      Definitely lighter with no cams, valves with only 2 moving parts. Very high HP ratings. This is just a single rotor, but Mazda made many versions with up to 6 rotors. They are very fast, but again, hard to make smog compliant and poor fuel consumption makes it expensive to run. Thanks much.
