ORIGINAL: The Toolman

Hey, I've ask in 3 different places on 2 different forums about the angle of my engine an still haven't got any answer from somebody that actually has one to ck.

I don't see anywhere for the rubber bands to go either, I don't even have any rubber bands with my plane. I don't know where they come up with that.


Ronnie



Yes indeed seems Im not the only noticing this issues I really dont see anywhere for rubberbands nor rubberbands included for that fact. Anyone know?

Does your engine look like it is tilted up just a tad?

Status: offline 		And one other thing ALL of you that are complaing about "no rubberbands" to hold the tank in place. Pack foam around it and forget about it! Next thing you'll want radial treads on the wheels....YEESH!

Status: offline 		Well, I've wanted one of these since I first saw it online. I finally found a slightly damaged one on eBAY and invested $60. on it.

Other than 3 crushed ribs, (easily repaired) and a little replacement covering the Tango should be as good as new.

I'm curious about comments made regarding the planes performance. I would think that a smaller airframe like this would be a "hack" flyer...something to toss into the trunk and have fun with...not serious aerobatics and the like.

It's nice to have something inexpensive, fairly nice looking and easy to whip around other than more sophisticated designs involving more inve$tment. I can live with all the neg's mentioned as I have other aircraft that DO perform the way I want them to. Expectations there are naturally, quite different.

I see the Tango for what I can get from it, (fun) not what the marketing department at Hanger 9 might extol it to be. Guess that would be nice though, huh?

I usually tinker, modify, adapt and recover ARF's...but not this one. I was looking for a fun plane and I think I've found it. I'll let y'all know.

Ed, might be a great review subject in an upcoming RCR!

Status: offline 		Hey Pt Mugu, the wife got me a Tango and a second OS .55AX for Christmas, so it will be in my column soon. I plan on wringing it out and also fixing the roll due to rudder.

Before that I have a JBA .56 and a Goldberg Wild Stik that I just started flying.

I also just finished an Ultra Stick 60/SK 90 to replace the one I snapped the whole tail off of. It wasn't pretty. Came down on hard surface and splattered. All I could do was throttle back and watch.

This weekend I'll be testing a Lanier Stinger 40/Saito .72. The Stinger was only $80 at Tower-too good to pass up. I think it'll need bigger ailerons-3/4" is pretty small.

Status: offline 		SUPER! The 55AX looks to be a sweet engine. I have an Ultra Stick 60 with a ST 90 haulin' it around.

I have an SK50 NIB that I was considering mounting on the Tango. Since it's a long stroke, I figure the torque to be a better way to go than pure rpm's. What do you think?

Here's a shot of my US60. I recovered it as I really hate stock ARF finishes, lol...
