Been to the factory today to collect one of Jon`s latest creations.....a 160 nitro fueled flat twin. Mine is destined for a Jungmeister. I also have a single cylinder 180 which runs like a Swiss watch. It can idle so slowly that you can clearly count and see the prop blades as it ticks over! Without any doubt at all, AGC, Jon and the other engineers at the factory are complete masters of their art. Having now expreienced the sheer pleasure of owning a Laser, I can say these engines are in another league. No wonder at all that the majority of competition winners choose a Laser as their prefered choice. Yes, I`m completely impressed. Buy one and you won`t want to run any other make. My thanks to all at the factory for their enthusiastic welcome and for letting my pal and I see how a Laser gets from aluminium raw material stock to the finished item. Definately a Bentley type build with super smooth and reliable operation. Mike😀
The engine will not run without a propeller or other suitable load. We have never tested the maximum rpm the engine can achieve as it is not important when powering an aircraft.
We always recommend the same fuel no matter the age of the engine. 5% nitro and 10-15% synthetic oil is all you need. 10% oil is the best way to go but often commercial fuel comes with more.
@@TestECull 15% nitro is not recommended. The additional cost, high fuel consumption, increased risk of corrosion and negligible performance gains make it not worth it.

How difficult would it be to put this into a large scale rc muscle car?
A guy in Germany has 2 of these in a model tractor for R/C tractor pulls so it could be done.
So what happened? Laser are still not making petrol engines.
The engine in the video is glow. Petrol development of our twins has not yet started but the singles are getting closer.
Sir, have you ever tried to run it without props? And if so what was the approximate max rpm?

Sounds wonderfull, what is the recomended fuel mixture for break in? And what is the mixture used for this test run, thanks.

Thanks for the information, i think homebrew fuel with high quality ingredients is the best way to go.
@@LaserEnginesAGC What about 15% fuels? I run Omega 15 in all of my engines as-is.

@@LaserEnginesAGC Shame. I've already got enough logistics trouble running cars, 1/2a engines, and general aviation engines.
