13. A rubber mount is not necessary if the engine is mounted on a model airplane.
14. Do not operate the engine in a closed room or where ventilation is not adequate.
15. Gasoline is extremely flammable. Keep it away from an open flame, excessive heat or sources of
sparks. Do not smoke near the engine or the fuel tank.
16. This engine was designed for use in a model aircraft. Do not attempt to use it for any other purpose.
17. Always install a kill switch that can be operated both manually and through the R/C transmitter.

FEATURES
1. Automatic Ignition Timing: The SPE-26cc features an electronic ignition system that advances the igni-
tion timing as the engine RPM increases. This insures a retarded ignition timing at low RPM for easy
starts and good low-end engine performance, and advanced timing at high RPM for good high-end
power
2. The ignition module is waterproof and vibration proof
3. The ignition module runs on any 5 cell NiCad/NiMH or 2S Li-Poly pack
4. The current consumption is approximately 200 mA, 700mAh or higher packs are preferable
SPARK PLUG
The recommended spark plug is a Champion RDJ 8J. To avoid improper operation or possible engine damage,
do not use any other type of spark plugs. The plug gap should be 0.4mm to 0.6mm [0.016" to 0.024"]. If the
plug gap is incorrect, adjust it with a spark plug gapping tool, wash it with gasoline and allow it to dry com-
pletely before you reinstall the plug in the engine.
Note: If you want to check if the spark plug works, remove the spark plug from the engine, connect it to the
coil and make sure the metallic threaded end of the spark plug touches the engine. Spin the propeller rapidly
through top dead center and check for a spark. This procedure only works in a dark room as there is too
much light outside to see the spark. The various spark plug manufacturers have much information on their
web sites regarding spark plug performance and health. For more information, check:

PROPELLER
Always use a well-balanced, high-quality propeller.
During our tests, our SPE-26cc turned a 16 x 8 JXF wooden prop at 7850 RPM. The engine was new with 90
minutes of breaking in. The test conditions Were: Temperature 10°C [50°F], humidity 45%, elevation at sea
level. Performance may vary depending on atmospheric conditions.
The recommended propellers are: 16 x 8” through 18 x 6”
The 4mm x 38mm Cap screws are used to secure the propeller to the mounting flange.
OIL
Select the best quality oil you can find for 2-cycle model airplane engines.
Use the standard fuel/oil ratios as shown below. Never experiment with cheap oil or with obscure brand
name oils..
Break-in: 1 gallon of gasoline with 25:1 (4%) oil content ratio. · Normal running: 40:1 (2.5%) oil content ratio.
