100 0283FUDDLOW GETS A SHINDAIWA 85CC SUPERCHARGED ENGINE

THIS IS THE FIRST EVER SHINDAIWA 85CC 4 STROKE SUPERCHARGED BLOWER ENGINE CONVERTED TO R/C AIRCRAFT USE.... THE ENGINE WAS DONATED FROM BRIANS SMALL ENGINE REPAIR SHOP IN SAN DIEGO CA. ON ELCAJON BLVD... THE PROP WAS DONATED BY FRANK DADO (FALLBROOK FLYERS) THANKS FRANK AND BRIAN FOR YOU SUPPORT... NORTH COUNTY TOOL AND DYE LET ME USE HIS LATHE AND HAD A NICE CHUNK OF ALLOY ROUND STOCK THAT I MADE THE HUB ADAPTER OUT OF... TODD SAID HE WOULD BE SURE TO DRAIN MY WALLET A LITTLE LATER AND LET ME GO AFTER I CLEANED UP THE LATHE FOR AN HOUR...I HAD TO GO BACK AND DO IT OVER UNTIL HE WAS HAPPY ...( HIGHER STANDARDS FOR CLEAN UP THAN I ENVISIONED) BUT LIKE THEY SAY BEGGERS CANT BE CHOOSERS..PLUS THE LATHE EDUCATION WAS WORTH IT.. THE END RESULT WAS A PERFECT PART THE FIRST TIME.THANKS TODD....NORTH COUNTY TOOL AND DYE..ESCONDIDO..HE HAS USED AND NEW EQUIPMENT AND HAS THE BEST PRICE IN TOWN...I JUST CHECKED THE PROP NUT AND IM GOING TO HAVE TO DRILL THE PROP FOR 6 STUDS TO LOCK IT DOWN... THE ENGINE REALLY PUTS OUT THE PONYS AT HIGH RPM..THIS ENGINE CAN TURN VERY HIGH RPMS.OVER 11K WITH EASE THE PROP IS A 26 INCH DIAMETER CUT DOWN TO A 25 INCH AND THE PITCH IS 10 SO IT WILL MAKE TONS OF THRUST I HAD TO CUT IT DOWN BECAUSE THE END WAS BROKEN OFF FROM HITTING THE DRIVEWAY WHILE FRANK WAS PUSHING IT INTO THE GARAGE..BUMMER FOR HIM BUT FUDDLOW LOVES IT .. THIS HD VIDEO WILL RAKE ABOUT AN HOUR TO LOAD IN ... SO ITS BACK TO FITTING THE PROP HUB TO 6 STUDS...LEO

My God; 85CC on a DM! At first I thought the nylon straps were a bit much, 4# of boost!! Now I'm thinking of building a MD with a 225 slant six stroker....
