Status: offline 		Hello Rick. Yes the siren works very well.

I am using a 3S Lipo at the moment. After the last flight I forgot to turn it off. The battery switch, that is. After a week it was discharget trough the LED in the switch, and was destroyed. As you know, a LiPo cell is destroyed if you allow it to go below 2.5Volts. This happened to me.

So I will use two A123 batteries in the future. That will give me 6.6 x 2 Volts.

I just got this model from Thomas. None of the hinge holes are drilled in my ailerons or flaps. How are you drilling the holes without coming through the surface of the parts?
Is anyone still using the aerovate engines, and how are they holding up?

Thanks
Ron

I was just out in the garage machining a set of stand-off's for the Aerovate 32 I plan to hang on the front of the Stuka, need to make a shorter set, 1 7/8" long.

Glad I have a lathe in the garage, handy for that kind of thing.

 Hello,
With a weight of 7.6 kg excluding fuel on my Stuka B, the engine purchased (saito 115)  would be sufficient?  If no, is it absolutely necessary to get an other one like Saito 150 or 180? I think it's limits but requests your advice.
Thank you

Status: offline 		Good work on the Siren, Kwik... I have an idea about that Wolo siren. I would like to use an ESC (might have to install a different motor) in conjunction with the rate control feature of my Hitec Aurora TX to control the spooling up & down of the siren. I am hoping that I can reverse the channel controlling the siren (ESC) and mix it to the throttle stick, while using a switch to arm the mix. Hopefully, that will evenly spool up the siren as I throttle down & roll over into the dive to deploy the bomb, and then back down as I add in throttle after the pullout. It just might make that siren sound a little better. Any thoughts? I have already started massing the parts for this

Letting an ESC run the motor should work? Cannot see any reason why not.

Next, whether the Aurora TX mix idea will work, I really dont know. It sounds like you want a reversal of throttle input?

Minimum throttle gives maximum siren speed, and opposite? Cannot see why it shouldnt work, either.

So, go ahead, experiment! That is the fun part, if you ask me!

By the way, the ramp up-down....I wonder.....it could be that a big juicy capacitor on , say, 4700 microfarad in parallell with the
motor would work too.....??

Maourit :
I friend of mine used a Saito 180. It was a perfect fit. Cannot answer for the other engines. But the Saito 180 drinks fuel so fast you
wouldnt believe it. So if you consider buying a Saito 180, I think I would consider a Saito FG 30 too. Its a petrol engine, and can
run forever on a tank.

Any thoughts or recomendations as to what prop to use on a 32cc gasser?

I am building ESM Stuka D, I have engine DLE 30 and I try to do cockpit myself. I´ve just done instrument panel and now I´m doing rear guns MG 81Z. Because the tail wheel was bad I did new one and also new main gear with springs.

Status: offline 		Hi Maneba,

It looks nice, but I am little bit afraid of the strength the front part, because when you did the holes behind the engine, you maybe disturb the structure. This fibreglass is not very strong and vibrations behind the engine are very big. Do you have some silent blocks (anti shock system) on the engine base?

Could you post a pic of the other side of your engine. I would like see how you did your throttle servo setup.

Status: offline 		I had to enforce the whole area in front of the cockpit by laying up a layer of fiberglass at the inside.

Used finishing resing. It sticks very well to the fuse's inside.

Had extra lot close to the firewall. Soaked the firewall area real good.

Before that, with a G-28 the whole front moved around at least one cm amplitude on idle.

It looked like the pilot had Parkinson, or something.

The 30 cc line of planes from ESM is designed for 4-stroke glow engines, me thinks. Not 2 stroke gassers.

The 50cc Corsair is stiff enough up front from the factory. Dont forget locktite on ALL screws and bolts.

Espesially on servos with metal gears. And ditch all plastic ARF stuff regarding horns and clevis'es.

Hi Prekin. I've added a lot of carbon fiber and carbon sticks behind the new firewall. No silent block for me. The dle30 is very long and i've no space to move it more back. I hope to have no problems with vibrations, otherwise i'll install a 1.80 Asp 4T engine. I've just ordered a new cowl and a new canopy. The original canopy got damaged during trimming. It's to brittle...

Status: offline 		I have the ASP 180 4 stroke in mine and it flies well. Yes I agree that the canopy is too brittle. I will add some bracing inside the canopy frame area as the canopy is prone to damage if you flip it over upon landing.

Prekin, your setup is very similiar to mine. I have a DLE30 on my D model with a scratch built cockpit as well. My plane came in at 18lbs and flies great with the 30 up front. It takes off in about 50 feet and has tons of climbing power. Plus, it floats in for landings. It's really a great flying plane.

Regarding your question about balancing weight, my plane needed 3oz of tail weight to balance.
