       Unusual Porting

       The following is about a DLE 55 cc Chinese model aircraft reed
       valve engine
       Notice the regular closed port transfers. Then notice the boost
       ports which you normally do not see on a piston ported none reed
       valve engine.

       Here is the piston. Notice the big vents on the intake side of
       the skirt for the boost ports. Around the wrist pin is open for
       the regular closed transfers.

       Being as this is a 7000 rpm engine, it does not have a lot of
       port timing duration. But it has generous port area.
       The spark plugs used in these is a NGK CM-6 Honda generator 10mm
       plug. It is a non-resistor plug.
       You will notice that the new Husky 550, 555, 560, & 562 engines
       use a smaller spark plug which may be a trend of the future?.

       Thats some wild looking stuff. Thanks for sharing this.
       About rpm I thought something was wrong with this last blower I
       was working on (first one I checked rpm on). I was like 8000 rpm
       what the heck.
       Then I started reading on them yesterday and all of them from
       28cc to 75cc only go 7K to 8K max rpms. I wonder why that is,
       maybe because of the no load like your plane engines?

       Thanks for the link w8ye. This is down the road from me beind my
       place. I can hear them when they are back there and see the
       planes in the ski.

       Couple things .It would almost seem to me on that engine with
       the induction straight into the crankcase it would have to have
       either a reed or be a rotary valve .My guess seeing the
       induction is though the blind end of the crankshaft that it's
       rotary . With no piston to block the crank case pressurization
       on transfer it would have to use some means to check the flow .
       I would be curious to see the port roof angle on the secondaries
       /boosters or what ever you call them .It would seem to me they'd
       be steep blowing upwards towards the head deck else straight
       accross towards the exhaust port they would seem to short
       circuit .
       Very interesting design I must say .An old gent on the west
       coast once had an 090 Stihl renown at one time as the fastest
       on the coast .Could be true or an urban legion .
       Never the less although he did not go into detail he stated it
       used a set of secondaries though piston  windows ,through a set
       of reed valves for the boosters .He never gave any specifics  of
       how that was done .

       Most of the newer design model airplane gasoline engines are
       reed valve designs.
       The reeds are fiberglass and are usually two opposing each other
       in a pyramid shape.
       The Chinese engines are not too sophisticated in the hand work
       department. The cheapest ones have "as cast" cylinder walls and
       bearing pockets. Naturally the transfers are as cast too. The
       quality and finish is nothing like Mahle.
       The engine in the video above is supposedly made in USA. It is a
       Desert Aircraft 120 cc opposed twin with a single carb with
       reeds. I think it has tuned cannister mufflers? The company
       makes the same cylinder on a 60cc single with reeds.
       The kid flying the plane is around 15 yrs old. His dad flies
       too.
       Here are the reeds from a Chinese DLE 111cc twin

       You can get a lot of surface area in a pyramid reed style design
       . As soon as that piston is heading up it's drawing all the way
       up 180 degrees .

       Al it's not an urban legion. I did the same with my Stihl 090 in
       the early 1980s. I got the idea with the 2 boost ports in the
       pistons intake skirt and addition of a reed valve intake
       manifold from a series of 1982 - 83 Chainsaw Age magazines [I
       even sent Weimedog copies of the magazines complete build on the
       Jonsered 111 project hotsaw last year.]
       
       The p/c setup is very similar between the 090 and 111. The only
       thing I didn't do was install the cast iron liner and cut off
       head. I got the 090 running pretty fast though with a go kart
       34mm Mikuni diaphram alky carb.
       The kart reed valve manifold and carb I bought from Russell
       Karting out of Kansas City, I don't even know if their still in
       business. The 090 I sold many year ago and don't have a clue
       where it is today.
       30 year old mod techniques are still very repectable today.
