how best to repair/strengthen a crack in the wing. It has not broken but the foam is cracked.




You can either use Foam-Safe CA with a shot of kicker , or some 2 part 5 minute epoxy, and then hold it in place for a minute or so.

I've used the epoxy with great success.
Just open the crack a bit and apply the epoxy with a tooth-pick making sure it gets into the joint. you can then wipe away the excess that squeezes out before it dries.

Thanks, I got it all fixed. Used "Weldbond". It is a liguid and dries clear and foam safe. Seems strong enough. Have to let it set overnight, but not in a rush.

How many of the rest of you non-rubbernecking fighter pilots have been shocked to find new PZ production Bf-109G advertising right on your six? You know what they say, "it's always the one you don't see that gets you."

I couldn't believe it, after only weeks ago I sadly read ads about 109 close out sales. I sent HH messages asking about the matter to find out for sure if I wasn't just dreaming - no answer yet from two different messages sent from different locations. Yes, I will be overjoyed, but not enough to buy yet another 109 for deployment in a 109 "fingers four" formation.

Speaking of shock, Since posting post #419 I found that typing madwebtvscientist into Google's search engine on different occasions can bring up one hundred (100) pages with that mad moniker on every listed post on every listed page I checked! That seems to me to be overwhelming proof that a whole lot of people are paying attention to what fighter plane enthusiasts are doing.

So, please consider yourselves thanked from the bottom of my heart for your contributions to what may very well be a very important turning point in history! Perhaps not nearly as great as the "few" honored by Sir Winston Churchill after the immortal glorious Battle of Britain that literally saved Western Civilization from being crushed beneath the Nazi boot heal; but, there are some really awesome things going on behind the scenes and it is obvious to me that modelers are playing a critical roll.

You might find it to be useful to remind your "financial advisor" next time you have a critical need for more fighters that you feel that you must do your part in the defense of the values we all hold dear. Model fighter plane inspiration is important in the ultimate final victory!

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/forumid_148/p_1/tmode_7/smode_1/tt.htm is a URL that brings up four and five star rated Ace Fighter threads that suggests their modeling advertising power.

Thanks again everybody!

ENJOY! "Aim High . . . Fly-Fight-Win!"

Out!

We must've had at least a dozen EP WWII era warbirds between the four members of our flying squadron. It looked like the flight line of an airshow at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford, England.
The sky above the club field was a frenzy of activity as I had two 'stangs' and a Spitfire doggin' my lone Messerschmit and having fun chasin' the Hun. Two of the allied aircraft landed before me so I ran a few low strafing runs as they slowed on there landing approach and were on the ground. one of the 'stangs had an 'incident' (LVC) upon it's 'unceremonious' landing at the end of the field as I greased my landing.
Afterwards we had a pair F4U Corsairs along with a 'stang' and a P47 all flying around in a loose formation. IT WAS AWESOME!!!

We also had a little nostalgic visit back to WWI  as I conducted a successful maiden flight of my GR Fokker D.VII 'Phase Deux'' which was followed shortly afterwards by an equally successful 2nd flight which included a few loops, barrel rolls, tail slides and hammer head maneuvers.

I hope you and your Squadron will continue to lead the way. Loved your "Amerikaner sandwitch" by the way.

Status: offline 		We lost a PZ 109 yesterday. We were doing a point scramble as two P-47’s appeared over our aerodrome. I launched my son first then reached back for mine and threw it into the air. Once everything was checked out I started to climb for the enemy. J had already engaged, as I reached the furball I hear wait,……. What, …….. im going in. turns out he had just leveled off after a slash and dash attach when his left outer wing panel right at the end of the aileron servo box departed the plane at way high. So he got to watch it go in. it was totaled, x battery, x speed control, hope the motor is still good.

I explained to him that when this type of failure occurs and you realize you can not stop the spinning with aileron and rudder combine. Give aileron and rudder into the spin and full E retracts and flaps if you have them. This will reduce the impact speed considerably.

I finished the point defense continuing to use the slash and dash tactics which work very well when your enemy can not climb with you and the constant turning of rc flying always brought them back for another. They tried to send one down after me on one attack while the other stayed high to keep me from zooming back up. I throttled back in the dive and when he realized he was going to overtake me and began to pull E to bail out, I aileron turned and headed up for his buddy. He was waiting for me though and anxious to rejoin his buddy so he dove on me. Not wanting to swop gunfire with a p-47 I pushed E forcing him to track me with negative G’s till the ground coming up forced him to break off.

A new airframe kit is on order and we should be back in the air by the weekend.

Joe … out

I tried to get some good group shots with all three (3) of my 109s along with other fighters today out in bright sunlight and I failed terribly. My latest 109 is my very best ROG takeoff and landing machine. I will be trying again.

Just got "timed out" recently so I better run for now.

Out.

  As a neutral ground observer I will state that the P-47's must have been spooked and holding to cover because they appeared much closer than the 109's.

Turns out that there is a lot of variation in "search engine" performance from day to day - can't keep up with them. Trying to characterize their performance can be "character undermining." Great trick I will try not to fall for anymore. For example, Google was far inferior today to other search engines. Google's performance in the past has been really spectaculer but not consistent.

If PZ/Horizon would just stop coming out with so many new irresistible airplanes that need to be tested and trimmed out, I would be doing a lot more flying with my Messerschmitts. They are great flyers, fabulous lookers, and gathering dust, all because I am just too busy with other airplanes. This insanity must stop!

Out!

I coated the flux ring end cap w/5min epoxy when I got it back in 2010 in an effort to keep the end cap from cracking. It's got approx 30 flights on it since, and is now a good spare.

Status: offline 		First of all, thanks for reporting the very useful motor information. I finally found my spare reinforced stock motors and could see no obvious structural differences between them and the new updated motors. I assume my carbon fiber, CA thin glue and baking soda is at least as strong as the epoxy you used.

My slightly modified 109 being used as an ROG trainer will have adjustable fixed split flaps that will be adjusted for landing speeds comparable to that of the "gold standard" Wildcat. I've also decided to add the same thing to my present Mk IX Spit. All 15 of my flying fighter museum fighters are now set up on the DX7 just like was reported about my Spit on the Mk IX Spitfire thread. Yes, it did finally dawn on me how to make the expo and D/R work really well especially for landings.

So, at all costs, TAKE BACK THE SKY!

Out.

Status: offline 		PRACTICE IS IMPORTANT

In all the excitement of last weeks aviation exploits, a little reminder of the importance of flying practice was reinforced by a landing with the wind into a rough area on the landing field that should have been avoided. This Bf-109G managed to to not break its record of never having flipped over on landing. That crash on take off mentioned earlier doesn't count. To be continued . . . .

Two mistakes were made on the flight due to lack of practice and the inherent excitement/stress of flying. First mistake was in not setting my countdown timer to 5 minutes in order to help me remember to start landing procedures so as to keep the battery from discharging below a safe storage level, The second mistake was forgetting to check wind direction just before landing. The wind had shifted so that I found my landing speed was much too high. It may not have mattered because I was out of power before I knew it and felt compelled to put the ship down as quickly as possible. All three (3) wheels were taken off as well as the outer section of the left elevator. Everything is now repaired and ready for flight.

I noticed on the full scale 109 that the radiator flaps are noticeably down on some portions of flight. The new radiator adjustable fixed flaps on my newest 109 are neat looking but are not yet set for optimum performance - more testing is needed.

This .25 motor powered machine with its beautiful three bladed stock prop will accompany my newest, lightest P-51 GUNFIGHTER on my next "Just Fly at Any Altitude" missions at the highest altitudes I can find on future high altitude sorties. The great thing about the Messerschmitt is the ease of removing the landing gear for flight over no ROG fields. I predict that the 109 will fly as well or better than the 51 at high altitude. So far, my E-Flite .25, stock prop equipped 109s fly just as well as my slightly modified killer PZ Thunderbolt equipped with a 40 ESC and that beautiful APC 12X8 E prop. The exciting suspence makes the upcoming contest fun to contemplate. We shall see.

So, Aim High, Fly, Fight, Win!

Out.

As a result of the raging warfare on Facebook yesterday that I simply could not excape compliments of growing numbers of members who enjoy discussing culturally relevant questions, there was simply no time left to discuss the decisive heroic fighter plane action occurring earlier in the day.

Oh, I do so love my 109s! With the possible exception of the flexing of one of my adjustable radiator split faps on a power dive pull out causing the ship to display a rolling tendency, it performed spectacularly. Next time out the system holding the flaps will be reinforced. More flap deflection angles will be adjusted in to get a handle on landing speed.

Those big stock wheels adjusted so that the plane's CG is almost as low as possible and as far forward as practical (axles slightly ahead of the wing leading edge when looking straight down with the fuselage level) is the key to ROG victory. In all the excitement I failed to use my new high rate elevator either on takeoff or landing. No problem, I simply blasted off the thick grassy ground using instant full throttle with low rate full up control, flew my regular test maneuvers, and came ziping in for a touch down about 100 yards away that ended with the machine tipping up on its nose then falling back on its gear. The excitment level was just to great for me to remember to use that high rate maximum elevator deflection angle trick to keep my tail down.

Having battle tested numerous ideas, I finally figured out what must be done to make my Spit fly up to victorious combat standards - to be reported on the Ace Mk IX Spitfire thread.

Out.

FLY, FIGHT, WIN!

Status: offline 		Yes, that is a very beautiful little plane, especially with that four bladed prop. Nice try though, escaping from your POW camp was not even necessary compliments of anti-American judges, so here I am once again free to do what needs to be done to take care of mind controlling tyranny.

Both the Spitfire and the Messerschmitt are fine tuned/modified now for essentially equal performance. To be continued . . . (I hope) You would not believe the number of security scans I had to run just to get on RCU! PERSERVANCE IS THE KEY TO VICTORY!

Although the stock 109 motor with a slightly lightened air frame can work well at low altitude with the beautiful three bladed prop, The extra power available in the E-flite .25 should work well at any practical altitude using that stock prop. My Spit still needs more testing. Given its higher drag with all those scoops hanging out in the breeze, and its slightly higher weight, so far it is proving to be surprisingly finicky with props. I managed to hit something on an ROG run with the Spitfire even with an eleven inch prop on my last mission that came in second place in its battle.

Being a patriot I am pulling for the Patriots as this communique is being compiled. The action is getting pretty hot in the battle now, must sign out.

Remember, your mission, should you choose to accept it is to TAKE BACK THE SKY!

Out.

Status: offline 		Just did some "eye opening" testing with the stock 109 motor on the "full house" (flaps and gear) 109G using the two bladed SF 12X6 APC prop with four (4) ounces of extra weight to simulate the anticipated weight of the upcoming Albatross. The stock battery was discharged to just above half capacity. The plane easily pulled straight up at full throttle as well as at slightly reduced throttle.

The great thing about the above power set up is that all but the smallest 3 cell batteries can be used thus allowing me to save my "hot batteries" for use only with the more demanding set ups. As a result of this recent testing only the most stock rigged 109 will be tested at higher altitudes. The assumption being that the more powerful .25 powered machines have an unfair advantage and therefore wouldn't be as useful for your average fighter pilot enthusiast. A 12X8 SF APC should make the 109 fly at one and a half miles plus altitudes as well as it does does down on the deck with the 12X6 SF prop.

The die is cast. My late CLPA buddie "Wild Bill," used to say, "the cast has died."

Out.

I've just learned that hackers are sending insulting messages to people and signing other peoples names. For the record, I don't send insulting messages to anyone. Any message I send would be in character with what I post publicly. If it isn't, it is a lying fake.

So, please let us know what is really happening out there.

Please don't let the enemy divide and conquer us!

Thanks,

My original "full house" (gear and flaps - with extra flap area) PZ 109 equiped with an APC SF 12X6 prop had been tuned to fly in mild cold (dense air) winter weather. For quite some time now it has been providing 12 O'clock high interception duty against any bogies daring to enter my garage. It has been called upon to participate in fighter sweep action now in order to provide the most cost effective performance available from my Messerschmitt squadron. All of the other 109s require higher "C" batteries.

On it's first flight in thinner higher temperature air with thermals, down drafts, etc, and needing to fly faster than I was accustomed to minimize tip stalling tendencies, the ship torque rolled and went straight in. It had been in the air around a minute or so and I thought all the "twitching airplane behavior" was due to interference. I though such interference might have resulted from my unusual antenna mounting path used after making reparis needed as a result of a torque roll caused crash on takeoff during a previous flying session. Had I not been so spooked about possible interferance and had I kept the speed up during my landing attempt the plane might have landed with less damage.

After repairs includiing proper installation of the antenna, and adding right wing tip weight, yesterday's 109 flight was much better with little tip stalling. After adding yet more right wing tip weight and a little more up aileron deflection angles, I expect little or no more problems with this airplane now. Because of the low "C" battery the 109 was using, the accompanying Mk IX Spitfire with its high "C" battery as well as it's higher speed prop, my Spit just blew the doors off my poor war weary Messerschmitt performance wise yesterday.

When THORIUM PLASMA BATTERIES become readily available we surely won't be quite so concerned about battery capacity as we are now.

Out.

Status: offline 		Given the need to practice a lot with ROG flapped equipped fighters, the lightest 109 in my Messerschmitt squadron is not only a great choice for cost effective flying practice, but as a model of a true classic fighter plane, it is a real nostalgic pleasure to fly in my case having spent some time in Germany after the war.

After learning about the 2,000 horse power version of the full scale machine at the Smithsonian having not read about that paticular version of the 109 in any media up to that time, it finally dawned on me just how likely it may be that very high quality synthetic lubercating oil developed by German scientists may have played an important roll in the three fold increase in engine horse power over original equipment. As a tribute to this catalyst for the most famous fighters in history it will probably be my most flown practice plane with thorium plasma batteries once they become available.

I'm finding that the 12X6 SF APC prop torque has me adjusting the right tip weight to balance the torque force so that the plane will stall straight ahead more or less at landing speed throttle settings at a safe altitude. I am still not satisfied with the 109's trim after yesterday's flying session.

More after more testing. By the way, I did end up on wheels on landings yesterday. I think there are signs of progress on this long learning curve.

Status: offline 		Dear Diary,

Recently accomplished a spectacular thrust to weight demonatration on the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina flying the virtually stock PZ Messerschmitt in vertical climbing tests . The facinating discovery was the seemingly similar performance of the 12X6 APC SF prop at both 7100 feet altitude and down on the deck. I had some "high altitude" 12X8 APC SF props but they seemed unnecessary in the over 20% thinner air.

I attribute this similar performance phemonena to the flexing prop blades that "flatten out" more in densier air than is the case at altitude. So, it looks like we are enjoying an "automatic variable pitch" propeller system very much like the PZ GUNFIGHTER P-51 Mustang, and Wildcat fighters discussed on this forum. Please click "Rating" on the first page of this forum to bring up these and other Ace fighter threads in one big group.

Just fixed a problem on my PC that developed just after I got maybe just a "little" too cheeky about a connection between THORIUM PLASMA BATTERIES, NASA, and Islam.

Do we got fun or what!?

Breaking off the attack for now.

Out.
