GeeBees....Already hit the Lowes, Home Depot and even an Auto parts store. The problem is, the longest thing they had in M4 (Metric) was 20mm. With the spacer required, and the thickness of the firewall I'm needing about a 50mm long bolt. That would be about 2" in an 8-32. Anyway, problem is solved, although it will delay me a bit. I order 50 and 60mm M4 socket bolts from MicroFasteners tonight. I'll just skp ahead to the wing mounting and radio install.

Tomorrow I'm building the test stand for the RCV, so I'm hoping I'll have the engine run in before I get the bolts, that way I'll be ready to go!

Steve



Steve I found M4 X 50mm at my local hobby shop in the car section (don't tell my friends I was in the car isle). They were the perfect size with my standoff's

Status: offline 		Steve - I've had the Pacific Aeromodels Gee Bee for a couple of years and it's an excellent flier. The assembly is fast and the quality very good. I had some shipping damage on my cowl and they sent me a new one with no questions asked. Landings are surprisingly easy and it slows down very nicely. Mine is powered by a G-26 with C&H ignition. I'm thinking I'm going to have to have the new 96" span version they just released. Here are a couple shots taken at the '04 Joe Nall. I've always liked the TF Stinson but hear it's a bear to build.

I agree, Kelvin it Looks AWESOME -- just sent you the funds -- can't wait to get mine. I will post some audio and video of the exhaust when I get it.

Now what about smoke out of a scale exhaust -- I think it might be doable with some preheat tube -- LOL

Looks wonderful! I'm just waiting for mine (and the longer bolts!) and I'll finish up the engine install. I'm also looking at ways to increase airflow to the RCV.

LOL I was going to ask the same question about smoke! Great idea A big box from Tower Hobbies arrived today with my brand new cowl. It got here in perfect condition and they even included new dummy machine guns. Not a bad looking piece of fiberglass for $35.
