I cant understand why peeps are knocking the 91fx.....its an awsome engine and pulls like a train


I'd say about 35% of the 91FX's sold were lemons. (See there, I didn't say ALL! ) If you got a good one...GREAT!! I for one, have sworn off OS Engines (and I've had plenty of them) until they get their "Quality Control" back in order.

Enuff of dat....that's not what this thread is about.

Hopefully, you guys won't have to wait too long for your LHS to get some Enforcer kits!

If ya have a smaller displacement motor (46) sittin' around lookin' for a home, DO take a look at the Balsa USA Force One! I wouldn't steer ya wrong!

I have a friend who is selling one of these, and I have an OS 91 Ducted fan motor, Dynomax fan unit, and pipe sitting around gathering dust...think this would be a good combo???

Be kind to me, I normally fly 3D, but do feel the need for speed

Status: offline 		NM_ Mark: The Enforcer is pretty popular for DF conversion--- most use a Byronhead OS-91, pusher> (Byro-Enforcer)

I have not seen one equipped with the Dynamax or Ramtec.... both usually run much faster than the Byro- I don't see why it wouldn't work but I am not the sharpest guy in here-

Is it a quick build?

after 32 years of cuttin ribs and stuff i go cold turkey very quick if it aint coming together fast.
Also still wondering if the "Jett" is worth the tax and hassle.

Status: offline 		I just got my kit.

There are loads of strips of balsa. I don't know how all those little bits will make me a plane. It does look like it will go together fairly quickly. It's no ARTF though!

Having looked at the plans I now have a couple of questions.

Firstly, I know some people have converted it to elevons. Any details? What control throws do you use if you do this?

Secondly, The plan calls for a 14 inch prop. I don't though if that was for the four stroker but it's a bit excessive for my ST61. What size props have you used on 61 size engines (if you know the best prop for the ST 61 even better).

I'm sure there will be more questions. I'm off to buy a bigger building board!

Status: offline 		PROBLEM PROBLEM.....aaaaaHHHH!!!! Theres a major part missing in the box (now iv gone and started it)
Its the lite ply former which is about a meter long and 110m/m wide.
This is part of the fuzz but what bothers me is that its 2.75 m/m thick as i measured with a mic.
The instructions say its 1/8th but no way and where the hell do i get ply this thick in the uk?

Status: offline 		Balsa USA has a guarantee that it will replace all missing parts.

If you purchased new then I would contact the shop and ask for a replacement. If you can't get it then what is wrong with 1/8? You shouldn't have any problems getting hold of it.

Hello sir im a toolmaker by trade and can read a mic. Ill get there but do i get hacked off when this sort of thing happens. That cold turkey feelin is allready here

Status: offline 		Oh very nice .....send more guys i want some ideas.
I assume thats the ducted version and they all seem to have the same set up.
Is it this dynamax gear im seeing and how is the shroud done? is it 1/16" ply just wrapped over.
And the obvious question is do you just fill the wing gap in with thin balsa or leave it as it is?


love it

www.inwoodmodels.co.uk

They have 1/8 (3mm) Birch Ply and Lite Ply that will be suitable for your purpose. All model shops should have 1/8 and this should be fine.

Any more info from anyone regarding their elevon setup or has everybody used the stock elevator and aileron method?

Status: offline 		i can relate to that as the "Lazor arrow and Balsa craft Rapier have the option of doing either.
Its safer to do it the hard way as if you use elevons and one servo goes then youv got nothing.
If youv got both then at least you have 50% of steering to get you out of trouble.

Do it the hard way id say.
