SpinnerRow,

Very nicely done!
Good to know that Lowes has those gas caps.

Here's mine;

Where did you see this? They already discontinued one, are they bringing the same plane back? The old one looked like crap. Hopefully they started over. The Stuka to get is the ESM right now.

It's on the Tower Hobbies site, due late December. That particular one is maxed out at a .91 glow/ .15cc gas.

There seems to be several others from doing a Google search, from a 1.20 size (discontinued) to TBM 38-50cc size.

Which one are you referring to?
Gota link to it?

Can't find it??????
I found it in 3 seconds.....

[link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXZW76&P=7]Stuka JU 87....[/link]

Take note;

REQUIRES: Engine: .61-.75 (10-12.5cc)(2-stroke) with standard muffler
OR .91 (15cc)(4-stroke) with standard muffler

Might fit if the cowl isn't used.....but I doubt it. Looks far to narrow.

Sorry, not used to how links are posted here yet!

It does look to be the very same Stuka as they had before. I thought I saw they had released the P6-E biplane again as well.

It's the same old Stuka that came out in the summer of 2001

   high-torque OS Max Surpass 4-strokes.
          Adjustable 60 to 120 size engine mount.
        

Q.  Wouldn't that put it into the dle 20 possibility range?  (might have to slant the engine or cut cowl a bit though)

Sure enough

If you're referring to the .46 size, don't even try.
If you're referring to the 1.20 size, then go with the DLE30, not this one.

I've owned both, and still have the .46 size model.
The 1.20 I had, had a Saito 1.50 4-stroke in it. Very spirited, but no good
for hovering.

Download the manual off the link I posted, and look at page 16. See how little firewall it has?
You'd be very limited in how you might angle any mount.

IF you somehow did mount this DLE20cc, then you'd very likely have to really butcher the cowl.

A JBA .15 cc gas would be a better fit.

I just entered - Stuka JU 87 - into Tower's Search box and off it went!

You're welcome!

Opto kill switches are always a good idea for safety. There's an even better alternative in the form of the Tech-Aero Ultra IBECthat is very lightweight (0.6 oz), has an opto kill switch capability built in and also eliminates the need for a separate ignition battery and switch. The weight savings are considerable.

You'll love this discussion: [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10028181/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm]Opto Gas Kill Switch......[/link]

I'm using the [link=http://www.valleyviewrc.com/42-Percent%20Products%20Opto%20Gas%20Kill%20Switch.ht m]42% Opto Kill Switch[/link]. I don't have a seperate battery for the ignition. I'm running the plane and ignition off of one A123 battery with two diodes wired in series to the ignition to drop the voltage in the 4.9-5.1v range. I put six flights on it Friday and it worked great.

Well it flies! My Reactor Bipe
21 degrees out winds were 2-5mph. After a brief warm up it was time to fly. Take off was uneventful taking is kind of slow. It easily climbed to a mistake or two high and started to do some trimming. Form the original setup with the Saito 91 it took two clicks of down elevator and one of right aileron and that was it! I was using a 16x8 prop spinning at 8400 and idle at 1720rpm. In level flight this is to fast for this plane and I will go to a 17X6 on next flights. Over all flying was not much different, for 15oz heavier. Wing loading is around 15 which is good because It floats in on landing. Landing speed will be slower with the other prop, I was used to about a 10 foot roll out this was about 20. After fling this combination, I would recommend this to anybody wanting a small gasser! More flights to come but probably with skis as it beginning to feel like winter is coming!

I went this route too. The link you have leads to what appears to be an identical unit sold by Syssa - currently on sale for about 10.00 less than the price shown in your link?

I have a new, never mounted, still in plastic, 42% opto kill switch (from VV) I'm not going to use available reasonable. If interested, please pm.

Not all following might remember.

Need more photos, especially of the DLE20cc installation!
