RE: CMPro Piper J-3 Cub 120 91

Hello, hope this thread isn't dead, but I have a question. I'm wanting to buy this plane, but want unlimited vertical with it. I fly mostly 3D and want to be able to hover it. I'm thinking of keeping...

RE: ZDZ 80RV New Carb

I had to make my own throttle arm. The geometry I needed would not work with the stock arm. I simple made a longer arm and mounted it right on top of the other. Made for an easy fix.

RE: ZDZ 80RV New Carb

Hey guys, I have been doing it a little different and works GREAT!!

RE: ZDZ 80RV New Carb

The Walboro 71 will bring this engine back to life. Going on 30 flights so far since I replaced mine with NO issues. Runs perfect.....

RE: zdz carb

I have the ZDZ 80 RV also. Mine did not have the Bing carb, but had the Walbro WJ-38 and was a pain to deal with. I called RCSHOWCASE and they set me up with the WJ-71 carb which turned out perfect....

RE: ZDZ-80 RV needle adjustment

I have the same engine. Get the Walbro WJ-71 carb from RCSHOWCASE and be done with it. The carb you have is the WJ-38 I am guessing. I had that carb and had issue after issue. I guess that is why...

RE: zdz 80 slober in plane from carb

I am just using the standard carb screws. I was thinking of a hex head of some sort, but my motor box is so small that there is not much room for anything, especially around the stack, to tighten the...

RE: zdz 80 slober in plane from carb

Wow, mine didn't come slotted also. I am not sure I like the word "FORCE" on my plane, to much money to be forcing things into place. I ended up not even messing with my stack. I will build a wall...

RE: zdz 80 slober in plane from carb

NICE.....I like that idea. I am going to try that once I find a way to get it on the carb. I am also sealing off the firewall box to the rest of the plane just in case. I am not sure if I can cut a...

RE: zdz 80 slober in plane from carb

RE: zdz 80 slober in plane from carb

WOW, finally someone helped us. I appriciate that reply Doug, that makes sense now.

RE: zdz 80 slober in plane from carb

Alright........Installed the new carb (WJ-71-1) on my ZDZ 80 and let me tell you, its like night and day. Runs like a new engine. That old carb was trash I guess cause I never would have got it to...

RE: Aviation Models 33% Yak Build Thread

Well, worked on my Yak all last night getting the CF wing tube to fit. I ended up sanding the inside of the tube with a closet rod from my house. Worked great, just time consuming. I used the sticky...

RE: Aviation Models 33% Yak Build Thread

Well, my 8711 has a little wag in it. Not sure what range of throttle, but the wag was real bad at first, so I tried an SWB 4inch offset servo arm and it fixed a lot of it. I read somewhere that...

RE: Aviation Models 33% Yak Build Thread

Thanks larshkj, I have never sanded CF before, but might try that also.

I have the JR 8711a on my rudder and let me tell you, on 6volts there is not lack. Knife edge loops are flawless. I just...

RE: Aviation Models 33% Yak Build Thread

Ok, just got my new CF wing tube and gear for my Yak 33% from TBM. I think by switching to the CF goodies I lost about 12 OZ [sm=thumbs_up.gif] I have been flying it with the Vess 26A on the ZDZ...

RE: zdz 80 slober in plane from carb

Ether way the Vess is the way to go. If I were you I would order one of those nice trumpets from RC SHOWCASE and should help on the fuel every where. I had another Yak with a ZDZ 40 on it and had the...

RE: zdz 80 slober in plane from carb

Not sure. Two of my buddies have the 27B on there DA100's and there speed on those planes is unreal. They never even have to use full throttle. The way Vess describes these A - B - C pitch is a...

RE: zdz 80 slober in plane from carb

Well, it slows down just enough to land, but idle is a killer on it. The carb is so touchy that it changes dramatically by turning the needle just a hair. It has been a pain in my a.. for a month...

RE: zdz 80 slober in plane from carb

What is your low speed set to? Mine is around 1 1/2 out. Will your ZDZ idle low enough to sit still? Mine will not no matter which way I go on the low speed. Most guys I have talked to said just...

Will do......

How old is your carb and engine? Mine is pretty old and sat around for a year or more. You might just have a bad carb. Here is mine.

RE: zdz 80 slober in plane from carb
