just for anyone interested i have a bod nosen trainer complete in the box.. just opened it up and looks like everything there.. someone wants it make me resonable offer...

i probably won't ever get it built.. have too many things to do now.

thanks
al

Might be interested? My son is learning on the flight simulator and that would be cool to teach him to fly with for real. Easy to see

DWHORN wish you were around a couple weeks ago! I just finished up my formers and received an order yesterday of balsa. Got the 3/16"x 48" planking and some 1/4" x1/2" for the crutch. POOP!
If it's reasonable I still might consider in case I decide to do another in the future. I have enough wood laying around for ribs and things...

Warbirdguy, I bought a sheet of 1/4" ply from Woodcraft for $19.99 and some 1/8" 3-ply for even less. I will be going there again. I have enough ply for a few planes now!
Anyway it's finally Friday and I am ready to get something started on this. I think I'll start the crutch so I can begin the fuselage. Time to make some room in the shop.....WooHoo!

just my thoughts.. would consider anything..

going to go and get ply today.. have to look around an see what i can find.. have all the tools that i could possible need.. just need more time to build.

Not yet AW. My wife wont let me near that place LOL just have to figure out how to get there without her knowing :P I have looked the website over and plan on making an order real soon. Have another DC3 to frame up.

I busted another bandsaw blade on my OLD tradesman. Lowes has them for now, but seems that size is slowly going away. Trying to convince my wife I need a newer model. Maybe if I tell her the new blades are less than half the cost of the older ones that might do it LMAO.

I hate to do this but i need to part with one of my nosen 310's. Wife lost her job and pretty good chance of us having to move so one of them must go. I think the one will be the one that has the i belive ys 120's on ignition not sure of a price yet just wondered if anyone would be interrested. go to my gallery for photo's it would be the white one with blue stripes.

I have 4 310's ,3 nosen's and i have the top flite 310 as well. the one that i have chosen to go has the most on it with retracts and brakes and cockpit. I do not want to sell her but i am sure that finding a place to keep her if we move is going to be a problem so that is why i will offer her up to the members of the club first for i know she would go to a good home with people who care about the 310.

Spent the day installing the retracts in my wing, I'm pleased with how things worked out. The wheel you see in the photo's is a 5 inch that I borrowed from a buddy. I plan to order a set of 5" Dubro treaded light weight wheels.


Cheers, Terry.

Well not to be left out but as my project is going.. I have the engines and some of the servos.. more on the way.. just ordered the twinsync for the engines.. so I have just about all I need to start on it except for landing gear.. would like retracts but with out paying 800 for them from robart's that is just insane.. the plan is to set up the engines with a single tank and hard pipe the fuel trough the wing to both engines.. and install two seperate electrical systems.. likely a 2200 lipo with voltage regulators for the engines and a 5000 for the servo's .. I am setting up a similar system on my super stearman only I am using a single 5000 lipo with two regulators to run engine and servos.. if this works out then I will likely go with the dual system on the 310...

Status: offline 		without 2 tanks, you may have a problem keeping gas to both engines.. i tried this myself and would only work with a fuel pump to push to both engines. one tank was too far away from both engines to work right. need a constant fuel supply so both engines get equal amount of fuel..

just my thoughts.

Status: offline 		Opps... forgot to mention that they are 30cc gassers.... when I fired them up to check them... they would draw fuel through 5 feet of tubing from 2 1/2 feet above the floor... not bad really... so I am thinking that a couple of feet on the same level through the wing shouldn't be a problem.. 2 fuel outlets from a single tank .. the ideal is to try and centralize everything to the center of the wing.. then maybe have a hatch on the fuse to gain access to the charge switches fuel ...   if your wondering why I tried running fuel that far... the truth is that I didn't want to cut up my fuel line.. and the tank fell off the bench... that is how I found out it would do it...

Status: offline 		On my C47, I run a single 24oz tank on top of the wing center. Two outlets, one to each engine. Used this same configuration with two Four stroke glow engines. I think the trick was, putting the tank on top of the wing skin. That gave it a positive flow to engines when plane was level. Thats what works for me.

Not to my knowledge, the only difference in the kits were in the latter part of the production on the AA Industries kits
the dies were becoming very dull, hence the "die-crushed" label on many of the kits most people purchased in the mid
to late 80's, the kit be it Bud Nosen or AA Industries were from the same original plans and dies for cutting, it's just before
AA stopped producing them in very limited numbers the cutting wan't the greatest. So once built the airframes were identical,
just depends on how detailed the builder was creating the finished product.
