Cal,

It doesn't necessarily mean the motor is toast. I was flying my SS with a large prop in heavy wind, and running mostly wide open throttle, and upon landing I smelled that fimilar burt smell, and brown windings.

The motor still worked, and I re propped to a slightly smaller prop, and was careful with the all WOT all the time. The motor still works fine. This is not always the case, but was for me. Just run it till it doesn't run any longer.

You could do a current test to see how it's doing.

when i try and run it, all it does is 'cogs' and thats it, does't move, can't find any broken wires or anything [&:]

Cal,
The difference between shiny copper and burnt copper is about $2 a pound at the scrap yard.

Save that copper. I just saw in today's news a guy was trying to steal a piece of copper with 11,000 volts going thu it, not a good idea.[][]
He's making his funeral arrangements as we speak.[][]

Lou,
I could take my other 91 4 stroker out of the little Ultimate and lotto the beast.

Anyone interested in a little Ultimate? It's a handful as Pat will tell you.

patnchris

I'll agree, it's a handfull. With 7 flights before the ground came up and smacked it, I can say that. However. when it flys, it's like it's on rails. As long as you give it sufficient power, it is pretty amazing. Don't try and float it around. Only bad things will happen. Dead stick is just "grab a bag". It'll live again, and will fly this weekend. Hopefully, the learning curve is over. I luv this plane, but it will uncover any and every bad habit you've ever learned.......Pat


I may regret this but what size Ultimate do you have, Mac......Is it the .60 size?......A guy in my club lost his the other day. Actually sent up a guy in a real CUB to locate it....LOL

gunfighterII

Pat,
I have both, a 40 size like yours, and a 120 size.

AJ,
Remember when I warned you about that, then you gave it to Pat. Good move.

Ken,
Remember when I warned you about the tripe, get and crash a bipe first.
That's what I'll do, give it to Ken.

patnchris

OK, I already have that one and the big one is too big for me. I've seen the 1.20 size. ...LOL......However, I really luv bibes and am considering a Pitts or Skybolt, for next Spring....... Something in the 1200 to 1400 watt range.....Pat

gunfighterII

Pat,
The 120 size is the one you want, much better flyer. Totally different beast, no nasty habits.

gunfighterII

Pat,
I would choose the Skybolt.

Now that you have a handle on the little Ultimate it should'nt give you any trouble, unless the dreaded deadstick.[] Fly that baby down to about 1 foot and then slowly chop the power and you will settle in nicely.

I know you don't want to hear this, but move the CG back so it does'nt stall at low power, it will fly much better with the rearward CG. Do this slowly of course. Tape a 1/4 oz lead weight on the back for the test and keep adding as you see fit, you will notice a difference.

Pappy, it's not a call sign exactly, but when someone mentions the dangers of nekkid__________ or nekkid ____________, we all know to whom the refernce is aimed at.

After my seemingly eternal radio problems and Al Qeada-esque wrecks, think of the noise made by a 300 SS hitting the neighbors garage door. Or the creative places to crash.

Ah, the Poo story, and the humpty story

CaptainRandy

Cal,

Then it sure sounds like the varnish has melted through. It's toast, unless you want to try a rewind job.

Tim,

Why I don't have a web cam

Loubud

Someone post the "poo" story. It's funny but I forget the details. Mebee if I think about it for a while it'll come back to me.

I like the Humpty Dumpty story. Wish I could find that one and just cut and paste. Same with the poo story. That one takes some real typing.

So.
Neckid is Pappy.
Putz 1 is Mark
Putz 2 is GG
DH is Sray (tee hee)
etc. is Sray HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I fully escape everything. Even if I make up people out of whole cloth.

OK.
Raul and some newer guys, this is the story of Hazy. If he isn't real, he should be.

RayRay and I were talking about nicknames one day. (This is the Ray we like.) We figure out one for him and now we're working on one for me. I decide on Purple Haze. OK, I like that one. I take a bunch of drugs...er...ah...meds yeh. That's it. Meds. Because I'm um...sick. That's why, because I'm sick.
The name is down below as my signature in my posts. Well, it's not going over well so one day someone said Haze. Hmm. I get an idea.
Now, you'll hear the name Roger, AKA Sticks mentioned now and then. He was a very good man and a good friend to everyone he met. He has since passed away at a pretty young age and those of us that knew him, miss him.
So I decide to make up a new guy. He's going to be my pal that lives near me and Sticks and RayRay are going to help me make this guy Hazy sound real.
RayRay or Sticks would ask Hazy to go get me since Hazy only used my computer and it looked like Hazy or myself would be logged on. Hazy was a man of few words, tuff as nails, a drug addict, afraid of nothing, could fly anything, fix anything and also did drug runs.
A couple of other guys catch on and do their part to make this guy appear real. It turned out that with a bunch of us making Hazy into a real person that I had to make up stories of things he'd do.
Now comes the strange part.
This is actually Part 4 of this thread. It started out as a thread teaching us and who ever dropped in how to fly that beginner plane, the Badius. Part 1 came about as we grew into other planes. Brent, who is no longer here started Badius Owners Club and made it a "NO TOPIC" thread. That's getting way to far ahead.
So back on the original thread "Does anyone fly the Accipiter Badius" is where I'm talking about.
It seems like over night that Hazy is a real person. The thread moved so fast that it wasn't easy to keep up with if you missed just one day. It wasn't uncommon to get 6 or 7 pages overnight. (It happens now and then on this thread too.)

One day RayRay and a guy no longer posting, Diggity, were out flying together and Diggity asks RayRay why I hang out with a druggie like Hazy. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
And now and then I would get a PM asking who Hazy was. It seemed that a lot of guys just missed my making this guy up.
Hazy took road trips, rebuilt some of my planes that crashed, went to Las Vegas now and then to hang out with Hookers and made my drug runs for me at the local truck stop.
We blamed Hazy for computer crashes telling the victim that he sent a virus. (Actually, we blame Terry for everything under the sun.)

So that's basically it. Hazy just pops up now and then with something.
Oh. Kate lives in a town called Rock Island. Hazy thought is was code for "Crack Island" and decides to go there and get some crack. He asked the neighborhood kid if he could borrow his moped and heads off to the middle of the States. Almost 2,000 miles from here. One reason he went was because Kate had posted a picture of something he was working on and also in the picture was some white stuff on his table. Hazy just knew Kate had a stash hidden somewhere.
A week or so goes by and Kate puts up a post of what Hazy is doing. Now in the meantime, the kid that owns the moped comes over with his Parents wanting the moped back or $200. I give them the $200 since I know Hazy trashed the moped.

These stories went on forever. Some guys figured it out right away while some had to think about it. Doug, AKA Airbourne, knew right away. Calls Hazy my alter ego. Might be why he was so easy to fabricate.

Ah. Drugs...er...ah...meds are kicking in. I might remember the Poo story.

Eric, why not look around for an extra? Or a Gee Bee? Doug might have more straight info for you. I tend towards the 30-40" ws personally. It sounds like what you want is a pattern plane, so maybe Pholl can help you out.

Speaking of low wing aerobats, someone around here bought one. It's 100% size, totally scale, with no markings. Even the N# is mall enough to not be read. Just a guess, ws 40' and a wide stubby fuse maybe 30'. The canopy is blacked out. If it is a 2 seater it's a side by side. No door lines visible at all. Flew nicely at 1/4 throttle, then some great nearly knife edge circles. Then he looked like he was setting up for an inside loop. Very niiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

Loubud

Sorry Eric. I don't have a clue.

Triboy,
you looking for something like an Extra, or just a sporty plane? lots to chose from. Don't get stuck on low wing. A lot of shoulder wing planes, and some mid wings that all will perform well.
Question is Scale type or not?

five-string

Poor Raul, He'll probably go screaming into the wilderness with all the stories and nicknames that just got thrown at him.

Captain Randy DOES have a nickname...Pappy....he's just a silly nekked sailor.....

And GG is 'Turd' to me. Hahaha I said Turd!

Phil (nyflyer) is Filip

Scott (export) is Bam Bam

Terry is Tee. And ask Tee why everything is always his fault...heehee

calvino

CaptainRandy

Mark,

You're right. I forgot all about Pappy. I've been called that for so long, I thought that was my name. Capt. Pappy from the Black Sheep squadron, Now I remember. Also one of my favorite planes, the Corsair.

Cal,

I have only rewound one motor, so I'm not the expert. Ken can give you more info on that subject. There is a web site devoted to it. If I can find the link that Ken gave me, I will post it for you.
