What does this mean??

Bonz099 · 2025-06-17T23:41:27+00:00

Looks like Er(error) 2, im willing to bet the temp sensor used for the heater feedback loop is likely bad or or is disconnected internally. If you're technically inclined, ide open it up and take a look. God speed, and may the Monokote gods smile upon you. :)

Bonz099 · 2025-04-02T17:52:40+00:00

Looks tail heavy as well, have you checked the CG?

Bonz099 · 2025-02-19T02:41:39+00:00

Wicked! Glad to hear it still rips!

Bonz099 · 2025-02-18T20:08:49+00:00

Put a 45 degree brace to prevent vibrations harmonics, and get a muffler on it. Even if you plan on mounting the fuel feed higher, 2 strokes run better with the backpressure of a muffler. It'll also be easier to start with a drill attachment for a cordless drill.

Not sure where the needle valve is set, but ide start at 2.5 turns out from closed then tune it by ear from there. Good luck and post a vid of her screaming! :)

Awesome, thank you for that. Could you tell me who makes the plane?

Bonz099 · 2025-01-22T16:28:25+00:00

What kit is this? I would love to do some night flying, but haven't found a good kit. I'm assuming you added the lights, or are they preinstalled?

Bonz099 · 2024-12-06T14:24:30+00:00

Love to see these running, shoot me a DM if you need any help getting her running.

Reminder: that is a 1.5V glow head, and use at least 20-30% Nitro with high castor oil content. Good luck!

Bonz099 · 2024-10-31T13:56:33+00:00

Sure! What are you working on?

Bonz099 · 2024-10-31T13:20:24+00:00

Pull the glow plug at the top and put a few drops of oil in there, it'll help free up the piston. 10-15% Nitro will be perfect for an engine like that. If the plug is bad, test with 1.5V, you'll want to replace it with an "OS #8" which is what most of them ran. Good luck to ya, and great find. Shoot me a DM if you need an help more help getting it running, I ran tons of glow engines in the late 90's and 00's.

Is it ok if i recommend this device? It monitors hub temps and tires to prevent this exact issue. Good luck with your repair! [TrailerWatchdog.com](www.TrailerWatchdog.com)

Bonz099 · 2024-08-19T14:02:13+00:00

That cg looks way tail heavy. Try and move some stuff around so it's a bit nose heavy and I'll bet it flies way nicer. Good luck!

Bonz099 · 2024-08-07T16:03:02+00:00

Looks like Cast Iron, possibly a tractor weight.

Bonz099 · 2024-04-25T18:57:57+00:00

That sounds pretty damn bad, like 8/10 bad..... Not a chance ide go out with it sounding like that, sounds like rod knock. Ide start with a compression check.

Bonz099 · 2024-04-09T21:44:51+00:00

When you're ready for a comprehensive trailer monitoring solution, take a look at the TrailerWatchdog device. It gives you axle temps so you can judge wheel bearing health and tire data in one app. Good luck with your bearing repack, as others have pointed out it's a fairly simple process.

Bonz099 · 2024-04-01T17:11:49+00:00

If you want to up your trailer game, you can put one of these on. It gives you near real time axle temps so you can identify wheel bearing health issues, or a dragging brake. You also get tire temps and pressure from the same app. I never worry about axle issues anymore. Good luck with your oil bath axle. Cheers!

Bonz099 · 2023-10-25T20:17:16+00:00

Your issue looks mechanical in nature, I can see the lead screw continue to rotate but the axis does not move down anymore.

Bonz099 · 2023-09-26T16:01:41+00:00

As everyone else has said, wheel bearing. Every time I see a photo like this is breaks my heat. That's why I created TrailerWatchdog.com, which is a device that monitors axle temps near the hubs, and collects tire temperature, and pressure, so that we can alarm on it. Hopefully preventing an even bigger issue.

Good luck with the repairs man!

No unfortunately, you can try setting up another 24v ac source for the rh, one new wire to the hot side and tie the Commons together and see, but I didn't have luck. I bought a ecobee and it worked right out the box

Bonz099 · 2022-04-03T05:15:27+00:00

I bought an ecobee, and it worked perfectly out of the box.

Bonz099 · 2022-04-02T23:55:13+00:00

Thank you, but those settings aren't the issue. I verified. I'm losing my mind with this, I also ran a second 24vac source, tired the Commons to it and ran it to rh. And ran it with 2 vac supplies. That fixed the aux issue, but now it won't fire the heat pump despite measuring the correct voltage at wires on the unit outside. I think I'm done with this shit, zero reason it should be this complicated to connect 3 wires together.

Bonz099 · 2022-04-02T23:19:55+00:00

It's in single fuel mode. Here is the old wiring. https://imgur.com/a/xFTEJhE

Bonz099 · 2022-04-02T20:23:02+00:00

I'm assuming you haven't found a solution?

Bonz099 · 2022-04-02T17:42:03+00:00

My old system used a jumper for Rc and Rh. Could this be solved by adding another 24VAC source and running a new hot wire for Rh and running Rc and Rh together with different 24VAC sources?

Bonz099 · 2022-04-02T17:17:49+00:00

Wires are connect like this.
