RE: My New Jet...(in progress)

How does that plane fly? It looks pretty good. Hopefully, it flies well and you're well on the way to finishing a larger one.

RE: TD .049 powered trainer and wedge tank location.

Krolh,

Should your TeeDee need further detuning, try putting the prop on backwards. That will slow it down, too.

RE: Flaps on a Flite Streak?

Bruce,

Oops. Had I looked at the picture you attached, I would have noticed a push rod support and could have skipped my last item above. Sorry.

RE: TD .049 powered trainer and wedge tank location.

Karol,

I empathize with your plight. Do you know what is wrong with your Babe Bee? Perhaps a simple parts replacement will put the old gal back into flying trim. My link to the Cox web site...

RE: Flaps on a Flite Streak?

Bruce,

The Flite Streak's designer, GMA himself, highly recommended not making the flaps on the model movable. The typical stunt flap does add lift, but it also has a tendency to add a bit of...

RE: Why is CL losing popularity?

Another reason that one might consider dragging out the old Ringmaster, Smoothie, Nobler or whatever is the fact that I doubt that the Department of Homeland Security is ever going to be really...

RE: Cox Hyper Viper

Again, I apologize for the time it took to post this reply, but I don't come here often. We are still using the supplied dacron lines, but all of us have .008"x35' lines with which to replace those....

RE: Cox Hyper Viper

I am still using the original prop that came in the box. I haven't yet tried them, but I did obtain several of the Cox recommended APC props to use in the event the original didn't work out. I...

RE: Magician

Bruce,

That was the problem. It occurred as a result of my using the sqare bracket with an "s" in the parenthetical phrase. Unfortunately, this is the way I was taught to do this in school.

RE: Cox Hyper Viper

I may be a real wimp, but I find that the Hyper Viper as shipped, when assembled and broken in per the directions (We do read and follow those, don't we?), has more than enough power and speed both...

RE: Cox Hyper Viper

If you haven't overheated the engine badly by using a fuel with too little lubricant, you should be able to break in the engine as the directions tell you. That should solve the problems a lot of...

RE: Woodburn, OR?

Bruce,

If I recall correctly from my Willamette U. days, Woodburn is a bit less that halfway from Salem to Portland, just East of I-5. If this is correct, there may not be anyone closer to you...

RE: Magician

Jim,

After a comment made to me at another forum about the relative weights of the Fox .35 and the FP .20/25 (predecessor{s} to the LA .25), I wonder if shortening the nose 1/2" to 1" might not...

RE: Magician

Bruce,

That's the way most C/L fliers are running the stock LA's, i.e., at a rich two stroke with a somewhat lower pitch prop to keep the lap times reasonable. I think that most using that...

RE: Old Engines For Sale

Bruce,

I don't know about where Kliff lives, but to pronounce the name of the town in which I live, think of a back pack in a small boat.

RE: We Need More Posts

Dennis,

I, too, much prefer the Sea Fury to any of Al's Mustangs or Bearcats. I think that we see way too many of the former and the latter just doesn't do it for me aesthetically. His new...

For a current project of Al's that is almost complete, see:
