    Status: offline     		For those who read this and want to swap your Os91fs for a YS110fz I must let you know that I moved the engine forward from 5 and 7/8" to 6and 1/8" from the firewall to the prop washer when I built the plane, because the cowling didn't line up........JW

    The ys 110fz is the ticket for this plane , it will drop right in the same mount as the os 91 fs ....I paid more for mine because I had to be the 1st to have one in Alaska....BWHAHAHAHAHAHA....Iv'e heard that chief has them for 330.00 or so ..I'm swinging a APC 16x6 wide chord prop, it turns it with no problem, it could probably turn a bigger prop but you my have to put larger tire's on it for more ground clearance, I would also use the sullivan tail wheel assembly Not he POS that comes with the plane...I used a GP 1/4 scale tail wheel assembly that work's great but the throw's are not max because of the steering arm, the sullivan should allow you to max out the throw's with no binding.....I wish I would have looked at this site before I put mine together .....It would have been built different/better....I do have a spare that IS going to have all the mod's from day 1.....as far as cata,,,cata ....okay crashing , just remember they all have that dam exploration date inside .... Oya on THE DARK SIDE......JW

    J-Dubya, I guess every little trick in asthetics is needed for a plane this ugly. I'm burying mine right to the firewall. That additional weight of the 110 is exagerated as it moves forward. Hang the blue line, I will concentrate on balance. Joe
    I seem to have quoted myself quoting autoguns. I'm trapped in a time warp!

    Status: offline     		Gents ..
    I may have been sufficiently sneeky to get away with it...YS $359.ish ,couple of wing tote bags ($37) to hide those bloody great UCD wings in.. see a wing bag is a wing bag..she cant see whats in it ..! the P51 'stripey' wings are a familiar sight in the house...but if she see's these check chappies.... ( checks Vs stipes...these differences appear on frocks n' things..) one thousand questions will ensue.. ( shes dont know about the UCD yet... thought i'd keep that under wraps till i'd finishe d the GP Extra..) two hydrimax batt packs, half dozen zingers.. Oh.. O.S. tuned pipe set $150 ish?... but..thats out of stock till end of Feb, so shouldnt impact on the plastic till next month..by which time i'll be dead anyway ,so none of this really matters ..! Tower.
    Thing is the exchange rate is sooooo good at the moment..e.g the best i could get.. say an O.S. .91FS P for here would be bout.. £240..£250...christ thats somewhere like $450.. $470..Tower rice..$329 ..? sadly Tower cant ship many kits..to big.... an ARTF's are a non starter...
    Anyways... Joe have a look on 'carboncopyuk' for capeche details ..i'll go into that more later ... try to fin ya a direct link. i'll take her coffee and buicuits now ..and generally 'creep' ..!

    Status: offline     		Congrats Lord........I had mine out at the field today and had a blast. A friend of mine also has one and we were flying in formation and just having plain ole fun. I am beginning to get the feel for this one. Even though I am using the 91 Surpass I am still pretty impressed with the verticle. Knife edge is a bit tricky. I took a few photos of my frined flying his. Didn't get any shots of mine. I was having fun with the new Canon Rebel digital camera my family gave me for my b-day inbetween flights. Thought I was getting a 9-C, but guess the Super 8 will have to last a while longer. Here are the first batch of pics. I took with it. 480 mm telephoto.

    Status: offline     		Kro, your right on the pushrods. As far as the landing gear goes I'm building #5 and all have flown stock landing gear without a loss. The gear can be knocked of any model. The breakaway block keeps you from destroying the fuse. By all means check them but, with the small amount of planes that have lost them its not an issue. Joe
