Supertigres from the Orient?

Dec 14, 2004 10 Replies

Hi, Anyone have experience with the Supertigres from the Orient? Good? Bad? General impressions? TIA, Dan.


Dan, I just put one on a brand new Senior Falcon ARF. It's a .45. I took off the backplate before I ran it, as I always do, to look for metal chips or bad machining- It was clean and just perfect. Started up instantly and ran great. VERY powerful with an APC 11x6 prop- ever seen a Sr Falcon hover???

Who has them on sale for that?

Where are these being manufactured? Thanks, Dan.

Tower had/s a sale on them for that. I gave away my sale paper.

Anything will go on a Senior Falcon. I flew one on an Enya .45 for 3 years, I have an ST .90 on the one I built last year...it scoots.

Well they must have changed something on the 45 ....

I have a GS45 from about 5-6 years ago that I could never get running properly, and I have been playing with engines since 1958 .... never had the same amount of grief from an engine.

I tried 2 other carbs, various plugs, fuels and a different silencer. Sympton was always the same, quiting on throttle up at

60% throttle.

Equally there is a ST 51 in our club that runs fine.

If you have the ARF Sr Falcon, as I do, the ST .45 is perfect for it. Because of the way they did the nose and motor mount, it is also the biggest motor that can be shoe-horned in. My ST 45 runs great and it is more than enough power.
