OF THE TWO “COMETS”

TWO Conceiving a new microplane, any Modeler primarily decides which engine to put on it. One of the motors power is not enough, others too large, others strongly vibrate during operation. Many disadvantages of single-cylinder engine delivered a two-cylinder of the same displacement. They can be built on a variety of schemes: boxer, Y-shaped, inline. In some cases, if the Modeler is not very important weight, two normal “odnotrahniki” mounted on a common metal frame, connecting the shafts through the gear transmission. This allows to raise efficiency of the propeller by increasing its diameter at low speed.
