I am sorry to hear about your buddy's plane. It is good to hear that Hnagar 9 refunded him for it. I hope you have as much good luck with your P-40 as I have had with my planes from them.

smitty,
You are right, I am sure I would have a different outlook if I had a failure. I am sorry to hear that you are one of the unlucky ones. My remarks were for the great number of people making claims without ever having a problem. You are also right to say that it's better safe than sorry. I guess I have been very fortunate not to have any failures with any of the ones that I have assembled. I don't think that 120 has that much more power than the Saito 100, which is recommended, so I don't think that was the problem. You are probably right that there was a defect there. Good luck with your next one. Did H9 treat you right with the plane, or did you even try to get anything from them?

Alan

I set my CG at 3" per instructions. But yours flew well at 3.5", so you technically got yours set up a little tail heavy??? I got my new Saito 100 run 30 min break in today. I'm still waiting for Oregon rain to stop so I can maiden my plane. I had a moment of weakness the other day, thinking about not showing up at my office and go flying instead because the sun was out.

Status: offline 		at 3 inch it was real tail heavy bad enough it would try to fall off my ballancer. so I added a trueturn spinner, weighted adapter and 2oz lead and it was alittle nose heavy at 3.5 inch and flew great.

Status: offline 		I got the Pro-Spin 3.5" 3-blade aluminum spinner. It weighs 5 oz, which is about how much most aluminum 3.5" spinners, including Tru-turn weigh, short of going to lightened backplate. So I guess with a YS 110 it should balance fine.

That was also my thinking considering the magnum vs. saito power issue.. I didnt try to contact H9 because of its still a 120 and since I work in the middle east, sending mine back wouldnt be worth the trouble..
Just got the H9 P-40, so Im not one of the flyers bashing H9, I agree with most people that with an ARF you have to do alittle deviating, but I do same thing when I build from plans. So, on a personal note, I dont see the big fuss about doing mods. If its a price issue, on most arf vs. plans, the prices once everything brought is only about $50 bucks give or take.
Can someone help me out here?
Price a quality .60 size corsair kit. Then price all the support equipment it will take to build, ie fuel system, retracts, etc. I could be mistakin on the price difference
It was my own mistake for not beefing up the wing. Just got in a hurry because it is a nice looking model. But with the warhawk, i brought covering when i ordered the plane.

Status: offline 		That's what we need, another Zero on the market! Sheesh, can't these manufacturers model one of the other great Japanese warbids once in a while? How 'bout a 60 size Tony, Frank, Tojo or George? I would buy any one of these instantly. Adding another Zero to the market would be like adding another Corsair or Mustang to the already saturated ARF market, oh wait, they already did that!

Status: offline 		I noticed this too. A little right thrust built in is ok but mine had way too much. I added a couple washers to decrease the amount some. Finally got my Zero going good so I had a chance to make some progress on the P-40. Finished the cockpit today (had to make an instrument panel to replace the cheesy decal). Canopy is glued on and drying now. I was really surprised at how goo the retracts work. I just hooked 'em up and the locked up and down with no real adjustments at all. ran 'em about 15 cycles so far. Now just balance, fuel proof and panel lines and decals and we can see how she flys. Can't wait.
