What are you using to connect your exhaust pipes to
your muffler? Will the heat from the engine degrade
the material that you are using?
I am in the process of setting my exhaust up like yours
but was undecided what to use as a connection between the muffler
and the pipes.

Status: offline 		I don't know what it's called but it's the 2 stroke header connector that they had for years. I got it from Tower. I bought two headers from Tower. Forget the diameter of the pipe but it was for a big engine Like a big OS or Super Tiger. I think I went through their header section and picked it by Diameter. I just cut the bend to fit and welded it back together. The cupplers came with the Headers and I use zip ties to hold them in place. It worked well before I Quit flying the plane.

Hope that helps.

Status: offline 		Sometimes you just have to sacrifice for your friends. Eugene decided to get rid of his 72mHz radio for a 2.4. I told him I'd help him out but Bob would have to come over cause if I had to program a Futaba Radio it wouldn't go well. I'm picturing myself taking a Hatchet to the Radio and possibly the plane. Who ever designed Futaba programing must have been sitting on his brain. Enough ranting.

When Eugine got there I found out that he wasn't his usual thrifty self. He had about 10 extra feet of servo wire in a nest like configuration. I threw some of the Extra servo wires I had in a bin and you couldn't tell much of a difference. (Just having fun with the pictures.) It wasn't Quite that bad. LOL. We got it straightened out and programed and Eugene went home with a smile on his face. Bob P. also got the radio Switches programmed where he likes them. Now every body is happy.

I need help with the tail gear doors.
I know there are few ways to connect the doors to the wheel so that when it retracts it closes shut.
I use the rubber bands method on my P-51 but I don't think I can use it in this case.
How did you guys connect the doors? any pictures or explanation would be great.

Thanks!
Fabio

Status: offline 		I must have lost some of my pictures. I can only find this. It's a real pain in the but to get the geometry correct. I did a lot of trial and error. The bracket is pretty much where it needs to be to work right. I'll get some dimensions later to get you started. The aluminum bracket on the mounted on the retract was made out of 1/16 thick angle aluminum. I used a belt sander, dremel tool and files to make it.

Happy New Year everyone.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Looking back to some of your post I came across the same dilemma I am facing right now.
I look at your pictures and I seems that the ball link mechanism works if you shorten the fork.
Am I correct in saying that?
Would it work any other way?

Thanks
for the help...

That's what I had to do. The wheel wouldn't clear when the door was closing. I think I removed the fork and got one side to work first then I could tell how much to cut the fork down.

PS. I also got a smaller tail wheel.

I'll see if I can find them ..

Status: offline 		Here ar two pictures from today.

The cut down fork is 1 7/16" from the top of the pivot in the picture to the Center Line of the axle.

The distance between the C/L of the two balls on the arm are 3/4"

Distance between the C/L of the ball links on the push rod is 1 1/16". Note the balls are facing opposite of each other. This is so it don't bind while going through the arc.

The wheel is 1 1/2" I used the aluminum hub because I had to drill it out to fit the axle. The plastic wheel didn't have enough material to drill it out that far.

Status: offline 		Cut down the ballast box to clear the carb setup. The two receiver batteries will go on top of the box where the ignition battery is now. I will probably eliminate the ignition batterie with an IBEC (ignition battery eliminator circuit). I've gone away from the ignition batterie on all my gassers. The IBEC is the same price as the battery but you don't have to charge it. What can I say. I'm lazy.

Have to think about it for a while but I think I'll have to cut out the internal mounting screws and go back to the original mounts. It's not a competition plane so it wont matter.
