Status: offline 		Hello David,
Unfortunately the Magnum is not on the list and cannot be used. They allow OS .25 FP or LA and then K&B .20
Also, the Hobby People/Global T-6 is sold as a .15 size plane-I think. They only sell one in that size so either .15 or .25 is the same plane...I have the Global ARF and it is holding up well.
Just make sure you don't put EZ connectors on the ailerons. They frown on that. Hope to see you out there. Dave Rink

Thanks for the info. I reckon the ARF won't be a lot more expensive than the kit, as covering etc is so expensive!

Might see you flying!

The rules require a non bearing engine. You can remove the baffle but with a 8x5 APC it can't tach over 16,000 with the barrel open. Muffler bearings are forbidden as well.

Richard,

Doesn't the crankshaft flop around a bit with no bearings?

Oh well.

Anyway . .

Told ya it was an expensive itch!

See you later in the week, probably

Status: offline 		Joe, are you back in town? Bring your digital camera so I can post a picture of my latest creation which is not far from a flying saucer.
If I do say so it was the talk of the Basin today.

Status: offline 		Well June gloom seems to be over as it was 90+ degrees the last 2 days at the Basin. Steady wind from the South untill later in the afternoon when it turned around. Of course the guys that can't make right turns stayed on the ground or overshot the runway.

Jason and I took turns hovering my latest creation to see who could touch the tail on the ground without crashing.
