Hi Guys!
I have just run my first tank on the ground and have some problems getting it to start easily, but when it does it runs quite good. Have u changed the spark plugs from original ones? Which brand and no.?

Bought mine last fall and like you just gave it the initial run in today. Also had small problem starting first run. Gave it a small fuel shot as a primer and after a few flips it fired right up. May have taken a few tries just to get fuel to carb. With ignition off all I have to do now is rotate prop with choke on a half a dozen times - flip on ignition - open choke and it will usually fire and run on the third flip. I expect better starting as I get more time on engine. Had a small stumble at about 1/3 throttle - gave high needle approx 1/4 turn out and she ran up just fine. Will fine tune after more run time. Have not changed plug as it seems to be fine. If you need a spare you will find that NGK makes what you need. Take the # off your plug and they will cross referance it at your local automotive supplier or motorcycle shop. Mine is running very strong with just 1 tank and so far I am very pleased with it. Time will tell!

The mounting is the same as a DL/DA 50. The prop drill guide for a DA-50 works for the DL-50 and the Turnigy 50. The Turnigy engine has been a little hard to start but it has not had a lot of run time yet. The stock muffler is fine and sounds good. I have not checked but the muffler mount looks like it is the same as the DL-50.
I have not seen any problems with the ignition. Make sure you are staying within the voltage limits or you will damage it. Same thing happens on the DA-50. I run a 4.8V NiMH battery on mine.
Did not see any problem with the spark plug or threads. The HP-50 was purchased right after they were released. I already had a DL-50, so I have run both of them.

I'm worried about this vvla rotating and would like hobbycity manifested itself on the subject. Me and a friend bought, each, one engine HP50cc. My friend tried to run and could not: no more than 5 minutes and stops functioning. When hot you can not get started.
My has not ran, but I'm unsure of putting a model aircraft as a result of its operation uncertain.

I bought the engine in 2009. I saved as soon as I got because I read many comments on the burning of the ignition. So, after much analysis, I decided coloasr running on the bench, closely following the instructions in the manual - put the regulated voltage to the minimum required: 5.5v. Excellent engine. Starter easy and optimal functioning. JUST FOLLOW OWNER'S MANUAL!

Low needle was set perfectly High needed 1/4 turn lean. I didn't have a way to check pull but my arm said it was strong. More info to come, after test flight.

James
(75%)
Hi Raymond, I have some issues I like to pass on. The crank doesn't have anything holding it from being pushed back. I had the crank pin pop a hole threw the rotary valve, if it was running during a crash the bottom end would be toast!
Parts like the cylinder, piston and ring are available because they wear out quicker... The ignition works but not for long. Some have had no problems as I thought I had until today.
For the price you can't beat it but in my case I have to buy a proper ignition from CH Ignition USA.
Hope this helps,
Jim

On this engine it's same diagram for left or right, i think you just need to make new hall switche mount (to the right) on found the good end point for the ignition and he can run right but it's not sure !! It's just what i think !!
Great plane the P-38 !! Just one think, iff you whant plane live old, make it light wing loads ! With 2x 50cc he going to have a lot off power !!

I am going to say "NO" to this. My friends and I have 8 engines from HK and one of the first problems we ran into was trying to run the engines with 6VDC packs. A good 6VDC pack can charge to over 7VDC. When we put 4.8VDC packs on the engines, they run great!!! Thats my 2 cents.

By all accounts, it a an XYZ engine manufactured for HC like the 52cc TGY engine. I do sincerely hope that they have ironed out all the problems the XYZ received from the US distributor so much so that they've given up the distribution rights.

Mine had tight bearings as well but was able to run it. Thou it would be loose and then tight. Now it is loose but won't start and suspect the ignition! My neighbor suggested tapping the crank with a rubber hammer to loosen it... bad idea as I put the crank pin through the rotary valve. I didn't hit it hard, just a tap. There isn't anything holding the crank from impacting the rear disk or case. Don't want to have this in a speedy nose into ground. If you know what I mean!

I bout one a couple of weeks ago and what a powerhouse. I live at 5800 ft of altitude and in a 100-inch wingspan Piper Cub this motor at throttle would pull this plane around real nice. At full throttle it would climb strait up 300 to 400 feet in the air, maybe higher. Im not sure how high it will go. Then I lost control and hit the ground and drove this motor 3 inches into the ground. The motor was all right and still run today. I hope to find a second plane and buy a second motor. Nice motor and price. Thanks Hobby City
