    CNSASS do you think a Saito 91 would handle the plane? Can I build it with fixed landing gear and will it look as fine as yours?

    Thanks.

It puts out a little less power then the YS 91. It really dosen't take much power to fly this thing. I was alittle worried about it at first but that all went away on the first flight.

    Thanks

    Status: offline     		The "C' would require a lot of re-engineering. The nose is much longer and skinnier.

    The nose gear is offset to the right approx. the width of the strut on the real airplane.

    Status: offline     		Halh,
    Good looking cowling, what size are the augmenter tubes. On the full size airplane these were like megaphones to provide a venturi effect to provide additional cooling air at high power. Can you give me more info on the gear doors. I.E. Hinges and actuators.

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Status: offline     		First of all, one must modify the nose retract mounting so that the gear door opening provides a mounting surface for the hinges. I used some Sonictronics offset door hinges that have springs to force the doors to open. I then used rubber bands attached to the doors that catch the strut when the gear are retracted.

    The augmentor tubes are polished aluminum tubes - 1" diameter

    Status: offline     		Thanks for the info. I am just starting to build my T-34 so I have found this thread very helpful. What engine are you going to use. I am thinking of using the Saito FA-100.

    Status: online     		Hey Everyone,

    Sorry I haven't posted in a long time. Haven't been able to work on my T-34 for the last 4 weeks or so. Hoping to get going again this weekend and will try to post some more progress pictures. My Flite-Metal is on order but haven't received it yet. Wil probably build a test panel to try it on so I can try rivet details and panel lines etc. before I put it on the actual plane.

    Jerry
