Status: offline 		Nice looking Enforcer. I will start building my second enforcer in a week or so. My first had the Tower .75 and I used the APC 11x7 for it. I am planning on doing the same this time so I guess I liked it... (Really loved it.) It's a great flying plane.. can go real slow or real fast. If you are used to flying with a rudder... I'd suggest you mix the rudder stick to the ailerons. I didn't do this on my first flight and did some real damage on the first landing.. After fixing it and mixing the rudder stick landing were great.

Also, I had to put a bend in my nose gear to give it "caster".... without that bend it kept flipping over on take off.. There is a video on YouTube of another enforcer having the same problem.

This photo is before I put the "caster" in the nose wheel.

Status: offline 		Allen,
 
In this thread there is some discussion and pictures of a couple different speed brakes.  Mine was originally 6" X 1 3/4" on the bottom.  It wasn't as effective as I wanted.  After a number of flights I increased it to 10" X 2" which works well on my Turbine Enforcer.

Status: offline 		The only pictures of my speed brake are in the referenced thread.  Just cut a hole in the bottom of the plane, reinforce it, then hinge in a stiff surface.  You'll have to locate your controls and servo where you have room.  To make mine larger I just screwed an aluminum plate to the original.  When it's up the aluminum fits flush with the bottom of the fuse.

Status: offline 		I've had a dream to install one of my turbines (probably my P-70) into a 150% Northstar but I like the lines of the Enforcer much better. You that have built the Enforcer would know best - would it be possible to modify the fuselage bottom configuration and put a Northstar style "float/step" on it with wing tip floats? My guess is that someone has already done this and I just have to rattle him out of the woodwork.

Status: offline 		we had a enforcer i got from a gararge sale for 50 bucks. it was well used i bet from the old german .61 on it it has been around a while. with a 11x6 prop my gps said 95mph keeping it flat and no dive help. since then we got a thundertiger .91 and sofar i am thinking it is not as good but the woodblock was soaked with fuel bad and it came apart in the air. we ordered a new kit the other day and are going to get this big engine setup and a 13x8 this time to load the engine. nice thing is the new engine is not much heavier than the old .61

Status: offline 		well we got the enforcer done. looks great and flys like the old one that broke up in the air. sofar the .91 thundertiger is not as fast as the old .61. gps says 92mph with a 14x8 wood prop. we put a 11x7 three blade on and it works well. need to put the gps in again. next is a 12x8 three blader and a 13x8 two blade.

Status: offline 		we used seperat servos for the controle surfaces and only have one servo in the front for rudder stearing the front wheel. we have a 5cell battery pack up front to balance it out. it seems much better with the servoes in the wing going directly to the surface it moves. there is some flex in the elevator wire. it is a nice plane. with the 14x8 it climbs till you back out of it when it gets too small.35385

Status: offline 		allen can you put a gps in your plane? i imagin you can since we had my big zumo 450 and matts much smaller garmin. our wing with a old germin .61 and a 11x6 pusher did 94mph. i bet unless you over proped the 61 it may be going faster than you think. we put the gps in the compartment in frount of the tank with 1/2 full tank to trade weight and kept it flat trying not to dive it. sofar it was faster with the old 61 in it book rating at 1.5hp. this darn .91 is suspose to be rated at 2.5hp and we are sort of dissapointed. it is new and we are getting it running better as we go. it seams time does help the brake in and they do run better. have fun with yours it took a lot of time with two building at the same time and matt says it is not as fun as the old one cause you are nervise on wrecking it cause of the invested time. we got the first enforcer at a gararge sale for 50 bucks and had to fix some damage. it came ready to go except for a reciever. what a great deal. shame it broke up.

Status: offline 		i have a face book page and all my pictures are there i am not sure what you are asking about email. we put the gps in the compartment in front of the tank with the tank half empty. mine is a garman zumo 450 motorcycle gps and it bairly fits. a nuvi smaller one works better and is less weight for sure. we are going to gps it with the 11x7 3 blade this week and see what the difference is from the 14x8 to this. the 3 blade sounds neat. but looks like a toy compaired to the 14" and the on the ground push is much less but it jumped in the air good enough.

Status: offline 		hi guys. i'm in a predicament. first plane i ever built. got the fuse all together and stood it on it's nose to do some final gap glueing and noticed the rear of the fuse from former F6 or so back was outa wack. looking at it from the bottom, it was shifted to the left alot. don't know how it got out that bad. have it poped back apart. any tips the get it lined back up correctly? if i pushed the back to try to line it up before i got it poped back apart, the front would shift the opposite way. good thing i noticed this before glueing the sheeting on the front and back. let me know. i am in indiana so if someone would like to call me about the help, call after 6pm on my verizon cell...574-249-0060. all help to get this right is very much appreciated, thanks...Toby

Status: offline 		Maidened the Enforcer yesterday. Got off the ground no problem, low rate throws good. I didn't try the high rate. Front retract failed to come down on the first flight, so I landed it with nose gear retracted and landed safely with no damage. Fixed the landing gear for the second flight and the throttle barrel screw came out and only had full and half throttle. Ran it out of gas and landed it on the fringe of the grass field. Still no damage. The plane flew great except for the two other issues that have now been fixed. I was hoping for a litle bit more speed from the Tower 75/12x6 wood pusher. I will try the Graupner 11x8 next time out.
