RE: Three wings for fun

Not a problem,

articles like this have all but disappeared from the magazines and they've become forgotten. What a shame when you think about it.
All that 1/2A goodness lost in time! :);)

Three wings for fun

I'm in a posting mood. No scale provided on the plan so I would scale it from the wheel diameter.

Yes.

For anyone new to this, click on the images to enlarge and then click the blue button in the bottom right corner of the image to make it large enough to read.

Enjoy. :D

RE: 1/2a line length?

Actually this sounds just about right for a first flight trainer. Move the CG back in small increments to where it does what you want, and congrats on the flight of your model. ;):D

Dennis,

judging by the smile on your face that Pathfinder is doing what you want it to. Is that a uniflow tank? It appears to be permanently mounted to the fuse. Could you give some details on...

RE: Cox .049 Cast Engines

Cent,

if they are the last of the Cox offerings, i.e. from surestarts with the cast crankcase then you will find the crank is a sloppy fit in the bush. According to Dan Sitter these crankcases...

RE: Enya 19

Was it like this from new? I recently bought an SS30S from Ebay that hadn't yet been broken in, had about four bench runs on it according to the previous owner. The compression is excellent.
