Oh my.

I'd buy the pink jet, but I think that pink bags would be pushing it!

I agree Claire. The plane is superb, so much so that I have two guys who have ordered one a piece. but those bags.. Oh my goodness. I expected more of you

Duncan

I'm thinking black with baby pink stitching and a pink Al's logo embroidered on for my bags

Go Duncan!!!

Ali!! a set of pink walled tyres for Duncan and if you've got a Pilot Barbie to go in it he'll be made up.

Joking aside It's a nice scheme,

Why am I liking this ???

Geoff White

Cos you're a Ginger

Claire.Alley

Because you have taste my good man :-)

Duncan

Well he does if he's talking about your UF and not the all pink barbie flash lol

gingerbatics

No, you're right Duncan, a line has to be drawn. The UF is a rather classy scheme.

I'll look forward to seeing all this pink on the flight line some time soon.

any one have any idea how reduce the trail with these new struts? They no longer have the notch that you can just file some more like I have seen previously in this thread.

thanks,

Hi,

I have the same struts in my UF...It looks like your retract rails are not centered in line with the well. My wheels fit centered in the well but sit very deep and not flush with the skin by any means. Even with the packers...

Dave Wilshere

They are not designed to be changed, only way is to file/machine a small amount off the angle shut/stop. But your set up looks fine. My models have the wheel almost at the back of the well.
Its just important the leg and wheel don't touch the wing as this can stop the unit releasing.

Yeah I think I can tweak the mounts a hair and get them pretty well centered up. i just like things to look right and function right. I get a little anal sometimes i guess ha ha

Any pics of your full bypass motor installs?? I have a p140 I'm my new UF. I noticed once installed with the JC fod screen there is not much clearance for air to flow around the motor. Probably 2-3 mm all around. This ok??

Thanks

Dave Wilshere

I run mine without a FOD, but I have seen enough with and they seem OK. The cooling from the tail pipe comes from the Naca ducts in the rear lower fuselage, thats why they are important. I like to see more cool air going down the pipe mixed with the exhaust gases, you could add a couple of Naca ducts in the carbon cover just behind the FOD to introduce more cool air.

I ditched the lower half of the bypass for that reason as I don't like the idea of having so little clearance around the engine....defeats the purpose of the ducting in my opinion. The lower half is adequately ducted by the hollow section in the wing anyway so AB, I would save your self the headache and flag it off.

Thanks for the input. I had a bandit with one of the old fod screens with the plastic ring around it.. Couldn't understand why it was such a turd till I took the air choking screen off. BIG diff in speed when the ducted air is able to make its way around the motor..

Here are some pics concerning my question stated above. What do you think?? The motor is a P140. Move it back or is it good?

keep the turbine at the right distance from the pipe. Move the white ducting forward to create more space around the turbine.
