FirstCavArmyVet - Does your kit suffer the same problems as the ones originally posted nearly 10 years ago? Did you buy it from the dealer/ASM or from a private party? Looking at one of these...

Nice plane, LittleRock! Mine weighs 5.4 oz and has elevator/rudder. Like yours, it comes down quickly once the engine quits. Its a fun plane to fly, though.

Very beautiful styling, 049flyer! How did the Pee Wee pull it? The TD works very well but I only have one of them and a lot of Pee Wees - like 10 or 11 of them.

Dave, so glad to see you back on RCU. Was just thinking about the SureShark I made years ago and how much fun it was. I was thinking of shrinking the plans to .010 size and making another one. ...

Skampy

I built this SKAMPY earlier this summer from plans I got on Outerzone. Flew it with the TD .020 last Tuesday at our club's monthly meeting. What a BLAST. It is very spritely. Instead of using the...

CP, according to the FAA representative, the AMA numbers will not work because they don't have access to them. They also don't want to rely on a second party to get the information. I suppose it is...

Pond Skipper, I believe you may be mistaken. The FAA considers everything as sUAS (small Unmanned Aerial Systems), or drones, no matter if it is a hex rotor, quad rotor, Guillow's Piper Cub or 1/4...

MJD, If he's interested, I'd let them go. I have 5 of them sitting around. I think. These were fully broke in but, I must say, running them with the 8x3s got them pretty hot and discolored the...

Thanks, MJD. That might be an option to consider. Also thought of finding some gently used or NIB OS .15 FPs. They seem to run nice right out of the box, transition well and would have enough...

Well, 8X3s aren't the answer. They caused the engine to run way to hot and hard. May just have to do some more significant mods to the nacelles to accommodate .15s. Well, live and learn.

Agreed. I don't expect a rocket but am hopeful I can get a bit more of a gap between full speed and stall speed. Now its just a bit close for comfort. But man does it turn heads when you fire it...

So the current MA props (7X4) are the Scimitars, not the regular style. I have some APC 7x5s and some MA 8x3s (combat props) so I think I will just have to try those. The plane is really stable but...

Flew the Skylark on Saturday on the 7x4s again. It flies but is underpowered for sure. Not sure if the 7x5s will help that or if it is just going to be underpowered. Thing is, I don't think...

MR Cox, I was concerned that the 7X4s were too much load so was thinking of the 7X3s. I don't want to overheat the engines. I see a previous post from you stating that (as you did in the last post)...

Yeah, MJD, I kind of figured that. But I can't find any 7X3 molded props right now. I've looked at the three main hobby shops in the Twin Cities and no one has them. I''m thinking an 8X3 won't be...

Success! Did the maiden flight last night with Master Airscrew Scimitar props (7X4). It doesn't fly fast but it definitely has enough power to keep it in the air. I had the engines slightly rich...

Well, I ran each one 8 times yesterday at 4 minutes each run. I started in full rich, sloppy mode and gradually leaned each engine out with each successive run. I used a Master Airscrew Simitar...

So gentlemen, remind me of the break in process. If I remember correctly, I run the first tank in '4 cycle' extra rich mode. Let it cool down. Then run again, leaning it out so it alternates...

Enya .09 IV Props

Hi all. I picked up a twin that looks like a Skylark 56 bash but the wing is shorter. Anyway, it appears to be set up for 2 .09 - .10 engines. I have a couple of NIB Enya .09 IVs that I want to...
