thanks for the heads up on the dave brown will start putting together today I was going to trim the plane out first with the os 61 but i figure why do it twice so the 120 is the way I will go my buddy isnt on rcu so he wont know why his plane is in last place

russm

with the 120 ax you will want to upgrade all the hw you can. maybe glass the wing joint. have a ys110 on mine and it is evil.the 120ax should pull it even more. i`m suprised this plane is not more popular. i love mine.

so where do find dave brown push rod if he is out of bus

mike boxtall

My LHS carries them. Just search Dave Brown on tower's site and it should take you right to them. They are called 'fiberglass push rod syestem'. If you dont like those, Sullivan carries a different kind of system that is great also.

RUSSM,

What prop would you recommend for the 120 and what r's should I be looking for? You said you were using a 15X8 on your minnow. On my last Toni with the Saito125 I was using a 14X10apc and was getting around 8900rpm

15x8

I have a Little Toni with the OS91 engine. I have upgraded to a Cline regulator, and UltraThrust muffler, and Cool Power 20%pro pattern. The Cline regulator seems to work better that the Perry pump. Radar gun shows 120 to 125, it takes a lot of nerve to stand in the middle of the runway and point the radar gun at the Little Toni coming at you doing 120+ MPH, hard to find someone to do it. I tried a few props, ended up with the APC 14x7.

sounds like a very nice combo. does ultrathrust offer a extention to clear the fuselage. i asume you mean the 91fx?

ggroyal1

I used the OS 35mm extension from Tower(16.99), the muffler and extension are installed after the cowling. The OS screws are metric, the Ultra Thrust are standard, I found the screws at the local hardware. It is the OS91FX, I also have the OS120AX on the Hangar9 Ultra Stick 60. The 120 will not turn the rpms like the 91, but it has a lot of torque and works great with the APC 16x10 prop. The photo of the full scale Minnow(Little Toni's cousin) is hanging in the airport at Rochester, NY.

looks good what speed

ggroyal1

Between 120mph and 125mph. Some days it just flys faster.

russm

sounds like we have the same interests in planes. i have the i20ax on a minnow. fast and fun. also had the 90fx with a jett muffler {w/toni setup} . had engine problems. so i threw a ys110 on it.wicked combo. have the jett90lx on my other toni. have a jett 60lx on my ultrastick 40.that 120ax on your u.s. 60 sounds interesting

ggroyal1

I almost purchased the Jett 90 Little Toni setup, but got into gas to keep to with the guys at the club. Still like that speed. Have you had any problems with the Jett engines? I have a hot OS50sx thatI have had to replace the bearings every 20 to 25 flights(Kaos 40). The gas planes are 50cc size and about $2000 each. I upgraded to the new JR9303 2.4Ghz plus 5 receivers from JR7202. All are great radios.

some of the guys in our club bought the new jr 2.4 radios just for their big gassers. the jett engines are strong and as realable as a os. the toni-90lx setup is fast.as the engine really breaks in it is starting to feel a lot faster. have a ys63 on my kaos. nice combo.

wow how do they slow down

russm

the toni is known to come in hot. diferent radio mixes can help with this problem though.

masonman

I use just a touch of flapperon mixed with the elevator part of the air brake mix in my Futaba radio. Use it with power on though if not you may stick a wing in the ground.... The sullivan rods work great.

hay guys over the christmas holidays i read back over all the post on the little toni are you guys still having problem with the spinner and the horizontal stab just woundering so i know what to look for my kit is this year model not one that has been on shelf for a year ready to start also did everybody use the stock motor mount

russm

no problems with the sptnner and yes, i used the furnished moter mount.

ggroyal1

I am using the Truturn 3" spinner(tt-3102b) from Tower. With a $10 coupon, it was $26. With the APC 14x7 prop, it is very smooth at 14,000 rpm. Has anyone tried a parachute for braking?

that would be cool to see thanks for the part number

mike boxtall

All the spinners I have got with the arf's have been way out of balance. All I have done with them is used my dremmel and ground it out. It took me about an hour and a half but I finally got it balanced well. I was surprised at the end of it all to see how much meat I actually did take out. I also used the supplied mount.

is that the spinner with the fram or tru turn style
