Galaxy Acro

I fear that you will be sadly disappointed by that Ryobi.

I had the 32 (?) cc version and it produced, after some tweaking, exactly the same power as the Zenoah 23. Mine swung an 18 x 6 at about 6,500 rpm as I recall. It would be a very substantial power increase, if it were to swing an 18 x 8 at 7,000.

Be interested to hear your experiences with this engine.

Tis a beautiful build there Mike, well done and welcome back

Thoght you were wait training for a minute.Looks a good kit will enjoy the build.Never seen a Galaxy kit before.At the Nats tried to buy a built up model but someone in front of me was time wasting so I gave up waiting and bought other stuff.

Well what can i say, thank you all for a warm welcome of my return

its good to hear some input on the ryobi's
Its ok i have that same fear, there are 28's out there that achieved 7000rpm & a little more, i'm looking at increasing the compression by lowering the cylinder .025" also fabricating a exhaust with larger outlet & a carb venturi increase to .400"
giving the reed stop a further 1/8" play should also perk things up.
the other size is 31cc i have one of those too, it was poorly converted by who ever owned it before me so needs a little work, I chose to try the 28cc because it is much more compact has smaller top two cooling fins & they are thinner than the 31cc its definitely lighter, i'll be shaving all the unnecessary bits off the crank case, I did worry that they would only be suited to a big hi wing floater then i see a video on you tube (Sbach 342 gets a Ryobi RC conversion 31cc) & i decided to give it a crack, if all fails its another lesson learned & the super tigre 2000 is still in the engine cupboard if the R28 don't achieve 7000 it wont be going up front of the acro & i will have to overcome my fears of the dreaded big super tigre back flip :S
i cant help but add a little RYOBI inspiration

Another thing i would like to add about the acro is the plan, it is really very good & very informative.

Hi all, i am new to the site and have been looking for information for this particular models for weeks. i have been given a part built Acro Pace Spirit but im struggling to find the plans. does anyone have one at home doing nothing?

How did you resurect this build and where did the build go

Hello David. Welcome to the site. When you have a bit of time to spare pop a post on the Introduce Yourself thread please.

Great to have you on board

lovely looking model

Galaxy went out of business a few years ago, so finding the plans will take some hunting.
Best of luck.
