RE: Indestructible Trainer

They claim the T-40 can be put together in 12-15 hours; however, this is only true if you're Superman. The FX Easy Goer is a complete plane. Frank can supply you with the hardware for a couple of...

RE: Indestructible Trainer

I really do hate to build! I wish they made an ARF SPAD Stick like yours! Then my life would be complete!

RE: Indestructible Trainer

If you get one from Frank, get the FX Easy Goer! It's a trainer, and you'll be airborne in a few hours!

RE: Indestructible Trainer

The T-40 comes as a kit for $55. You'll need a roll of Towercote (or Econocote), three wheels, a fuel tank, and some miscellaneous hardware to come up with a plane. The build is pretty simple, and it...

RE: Planning to Buy Sig Kadet Senior ARF, Opinions?

I would agree with him. The whole line of Kadets fly pretty much like kites. I once watched a guy chase one down the field trying to grab on to it due to not being able to get it down in a 5 MPH...

RE: Indestructible Trainer

I fly two planes: A Duraplane T-40 and a H9 Ultra Stick 40 with a full-house set up. The T-40 has an OS Max 40 FX while the US has an OS 46 AX. Both planes are blast, but the US is a very fragile...

RE: Big Stick or Duraplane

I fly the Duraplane T-40 and the H9 Ultra Stick 40 with a full-house set up. I like both planes, but I have more fun with the T-40. The US 40 would be very similar to the Great Planes Big Stick in...

RE: Do you use afer -run engine oil

OS says to disconnect your fuel line with the engine running to remove any fuel. What remains behind is the residual oil or lubricant that every methanol based model plane fuel has. This is more than...

RE: JUst completed my Ultra Stick 60

Looks like you did a very workmanship like job, and I'm happy to see you used a good motor mount for your engine.

BTW, I have never seen an ARF in the low buck price range that was perfectly...

RE: engine rust?

Modern cars use aluminum radiators, but obviously the antifreeze flows through both the engine block and radiator. So exactly what point were you trying to make?

RE: engine rust?

Model airplane fuel is around 70% or more methanol which is highly hygroscopic (absorbs moisture). You can demonstrate this to yourself on a hot humid day by pouring some of it into a saucer. In...

RE: Anybody building, flying a Model Tech Fun Fly 90S ARF

I think the model is quite handsome with an attractive and unusual color scheme. Most models are decorated for the circus, and I find them garish and tasteless. Anyway, except for us, most people...

RE: Anybody building, flying a Model Tech Fun Fly 90S ARF

An OS 91 FX is an excellent choice of engine for this plane. I often see 4-strokes on it which just don't make any sense to me.

RE: How reliable is "strap-style" engine mount ?

This is another example of a mfg cutting corners to maximize his profit. I can guarantee you that any ARF that comes with this type of mounting systems likely has a very poorly built airframe. A...

I have no interest in anything but the best, so I have no interest in non-OS engines. Also I believe that you have been enlightened beyond your ability to absorb further enlightenment.
