833.0. "Baron 28 engine question." by LDP::GALLANT () Wed Jan 11 1989 15:58

    I've got a chopper question for the group. Has anyone put or have
    knowledge of one being put, a OS 32-H into a Baron 28 helicopter.
    I would like to know about the fit if possible before I buy one.
    
    Thanx Mike

    Dave,
    	The baron 28 (designed around .28 sized engines) and the Baron
    30 (designed around the .28-.32 sized engines) are assembled from
    the same side frames. A different engine mount might be required
    for the Baron 28 to accept the .32 but I don't think so. Pretty
    sure that the engine mounting holes for the .32 are the same as
    the .28.

833.2I have an OS 32HSNOC01::BROWNTONYTony Brown Sydney, AustraliaThu Jan 12 1989 16:3610
    I have an OS 32H which I intend to put into a Baron 20MX that I
    bought recently.  I bought the 20MX in Singapore, and it sounds
    the same as the 28. The 20MX instructions call for an OS 28 or Enya
    SS30, but I was assured by some heli flyers at my club that the
    OS32 has the same mounting bolt pattern as the 28.  If you want,
    I can measure the 32 for you this weekend.
    
    Regards
    Tony

    Tony,
    
    Sounds great. I believe I will go ahead and order the 32-H before
    I lose the price oportunity anyhow but will still like to hear about
    your result, including how the cylinder head fits under the fan
    shroud and what you are using for a muffler and how it fits.
    
    Thanx Mike

    Tony,
    	Does your chopper have a scissors located on the main shaft?
    I'm pretty sure that the Baron 30 as marketed in the US is called
    a Baron 30 outside of the US. If your chopper has collective pitch
    ,plastic swash plate and app 48"rotor span chances are it's the
    Baron 30. Like I said they changed the name for the US,

833.5The saga continuesLDP::GALLANTFri Jan 13 1989 10:209
    Talked to a rep at Circus Hobbies last night and was informed the
    the Baron 28 will take a Webra 28 an OS 25 and an OS 32-H. So since
    the Webra 28 at Circus was $89 and Tower is having a sale on the
    OS 32-H for $99.99 then I'm going to put the 32 in it. It really
    was underpowered with the 25.
    
    Thanx to any and all contributors

  re .4
    Tom
    I haven't unpacked the kit yet (no time....sigh...), but the 20MX
    literature says collective head with auto, 48" rotor diameter, weight
    5 to 5.5 lb, and 28 to 30 motor. 
    
    Trying to reorganise priorities yet again......
    Damn New Year resolutions.....

833.8Bought One.LDP::GALLANTThu Jan 19 1989 09:409
    Tom,
    
    	I broke down and ordered the OS 32-H since Tower had it on sale
    for $99.99. I will put it in soon and it will at least be ready
    in the spring, maybe sooner if the weather continues. What to check
    it out for me some time ? I'd appreciate your comments on my setup.
    
    Mike
    
833.9SA1794::TENEROWICZTThu Jan 19 1989 14:5215
    SURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Why wait for spring? Why waste all of that time?
    
    When do you want to do it?
    
    
    Tom.
    
    I would think that he's talking auto clutch. I had heard that Kalt
    changed the name from a 20 to a 30 to fit wit hthe american mentality
    of what's better is "bigger". Progression.
    20-US non collective Kalt
    28-US collective version of a 20
    30-US     "                     ,bigger blades,metal boom

    re .7
    
    Yes, the 20MX has an auto-rotation clutch ( and a metal boom).
