Something fast for a .15 Rossi rear exhaust
Hi Guys I'm looking for some thing very fast for a .15 Rossi like a D/D or a Shrike. I want to go w/ a ARF because I don't have time to build right now. I will build a Shrike .10 if you guys can't come up w/ a answer. I have not been able to find anything.
I did hear there was a ARF Mini D/D - is this true? Let me know if you have any ideas and aprox costs Thanks in advance Dale

I'm putting together an 1/2A Shrike... it will be powered by an MVVS .15 engine...
The Rossi will be even hotter...
Don't get the Shrike 10, it's much too big for serious speed on a .15 engine...

Rudeboy I have two 1/2 A shrikes w/ .061 norvels that I race in club racing- I would think that w/ a .15 it would be a lead sled. How do plan on balancing? My all up weight is about 13 oz's. Let me know how you plan on doing this- I might try it if it seems possible Thanks, Dale

RE: Something fast for a .15 Rossi rear exhaust
Well...
For starters, I'm completely redesigning the fuse.
It is too narrow for a .15 the way it comes. That's when I started thinking about a new fuse, but there's more...
Balancing: My MVVS .15 is about 100 grams (about 3oz I think) heavier than that Norvel of yours. So I am moving everything back as far as I can.
This means shaping the fuse in such a way that I can mount my receiver under the servo's. This gives me plenty of room to move the engine backwards, and still carry a Dubro 2 oz tank (I'll need that I think).
The batteries will be mounted as close to the elevator as possible. Perhaps this even means not using a battery pack, but glueing loose cells (connected by wires of course) in the back of the plane. But I'm not sure about that yet, if possible I will use a pack of course.
About it being a lead sled... we'll see about that. Sure it will be heavier than something powered by a Norvel, but I'll have horsepower to compensate for that
Lanier seems to think you can fly this thing on a speed 400 direct drive... How much weight will a speed 400 and a battery pack put on the scale...?
If it flies on a speed 400 direct drive, it will sure as hell fly on a high output ballraced .15 engine IMHO...
I'm thinking about using a carbon tube as a spar... but maybe that's overkill... I dunno...
It weighs next to nothing, so I might just as well put it in. The plane will be that much stronger with it.
I will probably sheet the entire plane too... not quite sure yet... will see how it feels when it's coming together...
I will try to post pics along the way for everybody's viewing pleasure...

Hi,
The Blizzard .15 is very fast and reliable.
Excellent for a Rossi 15 rear.

pdxpaul and look Thanks for the link and I liked the style of the Blizzard, but it was the only .15 size plane and stated it was a ( sport ) model, so I didn't think it would be that fast. I'm I wrong? Fill me in if you have flown or seen this plane.
Thanks, Dale

RE: Something fast for a .15 Rossi rear exhaust
Schu,
The model is fast because it has a very thin wing.
A lot of my friends are flying with that model with a
MVVS .15 rear and that is fast.
With the Rossi 15 it is even faster.
You will be surprised by the model from its capacities.
Is does not matter how fast you go the model is easy to handle.
Lands like a trainer.
The engine with the rear exhaust fits excellent.
You will be surprised.
Regards,
Look.

RE: Something fast for a .15 Rossi rear exhaust
Look Is there a difference between the Blizzard 600 and the 600 .15? The US supplier is holding one for me , but does not know if the electric version and the gas version is the same. How do you tell the difference?
Thanks in advance, Dale
Thanks in advance, Dale

RE: Something fast for a .15 Rossi rear exhaust
Dale,
Nickos has right.
There is no difference in the kits.
On the building plan you will see both models.
Before the first flight do not forget to balance your wing.
It is safe the CG with an empty fuel tank.
Before the first flight run in your engine.
Fly only when the engine runs reliable.
You can use 15% nitro or more.
You can start with 5%.
Use 20% oil.
Check the CG.
If you have questions during building the model
do not hesitate to send us an email.
Succes.
Regards,

RE: Something fast for a .15 Rossi rear exhaust
Look,
Thanks. I saw the wingspans. I was looking for the wing areas.
There may be some local pylon recing starting up again that requires a 400 square inch minimum wing area. They run bushing .15's (i.e. OS LA 15 or Norvel). I wanted to see if the Jet planes qualify.
