Status: offline 		Nice pics!

I have had little time to fly recently, just enough to have an incident with the Mossy... At normal take-off it started to slowly turn left while I compensated more and more to the right. I never managed to bring her back to straight flight. The left wing touched a barrier and the Mossy wheeled over... Junk by the sticks, I'd say, or possibly sudden power loss on the left engine at take-off.

I have, astonishingly enough, only the right wing tip to repair and the left wing panel to fasten. I may try again to do something about that severely warped stab and elevator too. Quality kits for quality pilots...

I'll keep you posted.

Enya engines were not bad. I used to have an Enya 25X back in the dark ages... Now I am a Webra flyer until the world stock runs out...

Best,

I love the look of those spinners, I had a look at some websites that sell the BT stuff, but I cannot find a link to those, would you be kind enough to share some ordering info or part numbers?

Can someone give me the dimensions of the retract mounting bays? I have my plane on order and would like to order something in advance.

Thanks,
Andy

after starting my " hobby " business under www.enya-motoren.de
I had some time working on my Mossie.

- But at first, FastMag, I´m sad to hear about Your crash, but as You wrote, You can repair the plane, so
we´re still waiting for some nice Flight Videos of Your pretty Airplane

- Adrian, thanks for the nice links

- Andy, will work on Your request tomorrow

Here´s a picture of the Rib and mainspar section, I glued them with PU Glue, very light and strong stuff

here the link I bought the Spinners, I´m sure, they will ship to the US...

But You have to extend the Cowlings, otherwise they are to small ( 5 mm )

You don´t have to bother about the retract rails, You can change them like You want.

The Forum is so helpful, especially for a kit like this.

So do as suggested by a lot of pilots here : reinforce everything in the mainsection.

( perfect therefore is PU-Glue)

Thanks for all the info!

I have already ordered some cheap spinners to use on maiden, as soon as I get her flying as I want, I will do some upgrades. In the interim I have set about building. Lots of changes will be made, including reinforcing!!

In the middle picture, what is that wire that looks like it is connected to the cross piece on the retract?

Status: offline 		Dear scaleforlife......

     I  had luck with www.GiantScalePlanes.com who was the original distributor of the model when it first hit the market in 2004 in the states.....I have purchased parts before, but only because they were able to grab them out of other model boxes that were damaged in shipping at that time...They still might have some parts but the website has been closed down and the company is owned by a model helicopter company...
If you can work your way through all of the web pages it will come up with a google search and you might have some luck with them..

Have you tried contacting NitoPlanes yet...?...They are in California, and by the time you try and purchase all of your parts, you may find it is just cheaper to purchase a whole new kit and use it for spare stuff....I know all about that..I have purchased 4 of them since 2006.....

God Luck buddy


David

Thanks fellow Buckeye. I spent over 2 hours with Nitro only to be told that:

1) They carry no parts
2) They only do special orders only to people who have ordered from them before
3) Hung up on me

That ended right there. I appreciate the info you gave me and I will research it out. I currenty am flying an ASM Black Widow and gathering items for their A-26 Invader. The Mosquitto was my second twin. I am determined to make it airworthy. lol

Thanks, Ken

     Like I said, Nitorplanes has the kit but they have it listed for $400.00.......I can tell you that NONE of us in this forum have ever paid $400.00 for the kit...I bought my last one from them 2 years ago for $189.00 so I do not know who they are kidding...I see they have an RC universe special on the model which they say is sold out for $225.00..... That has ALWAYS been the price it has sold for in the past....

     I think they are trying to scam some folks becuase it's Christmas.....Keep looking around, I am sure you can find the parts you are looking for....

     Nitroplanes is a strange bunch of folks when it comes to customer service...I think they only have one guy doing everything out there on the west coast and he can't speak very good English either.....

     Very frustraiting, and they will not do anything about making it better either...Their loss.......

Anyway..............

    Here are some videos of my Mosquito that you may or may have not seen...In the first video, it shows how well the engines are running together...I tune them up mechanically....No computer radio, nothing fancy....just set them up with very fine adjustments and servo guard spring kits from DuBro...

The other has a great music track I put with the model and ran it in slow motion....I like the music....

Sorry, I've been away.
Crash is not too bad but I tend to let it sit for a while until I get inspiration.

I'll be back with pics and I'll add to my build log: http://hansenm.web.cern.ch/hansenm/planes/JamaraMosquito/JamaraMosquitoBuildImageDirectory.htm.

Status: offline 		Started talking to Nitroplanes on their chat line and as soon as I stated that NO ONE in this forum will ever pay $400.00 for their kit  because of the design flaws and the very poor undercarriage.........and then "Andy", oh my gosh, for some reason cut me off.............

Again,

    This kit is hardly worth the normal going list price of $225.00 and only becames a great value if you can get free shipping or something or an on line coupon......They know it..........We know it...........If someone like Hanger 9 made the same kit, the quality would then be worth the $400.00 becuase you know it would be designed and manufacturered correctly......

      Hence more than likely why NItorplanes offers RC universe folks the $225.00 price tag when it is in stock of which I really have no idea what the difference is....  They know we have figured out all of the problems with it and they are willing to concede that fact I suspect.....

HOWEVER....................!

   If you get it in the air and overcome all of the problems the kit has............It IS a SWEET flying model...You just have to be patient and be ready to send an extra month or two really getting it right......I know that is what I had to do with  my first three...........and it WAS woth all of the hassel........

Status: offline 		I everyone!!
I picked up a CMP mosquito over the weekend and it was in crappy condition but ended up making out on the trade. The Fuse. is in good condition but the wings are bad. Don't even want to go into the story of how they got that way, but its sad. I have been reading through this for for a few days now and heard about the design flaws and all that. Been trying to look for replacement parts for this thing and noticed nitroplanes is out of stock on every part for it and they seems to be the only supplier. CMP's website don't even have it listed. Is there anyone out there that knows were to get parts for this or if you can even get any for it? If not...ill sell this for parts $100 come get it!!!
