RE: H9 60 Size P-47 Thunderbolt-Build & Flying

Bruc Nut:
Do yourself a favor: discard the original retracts and put something more rigid.
The wire struts used are just too weak to handle this plane.

RE: Saito FG-20 or 21

Splais:
I had to order a tailor made pitts muffler from JTEc to fit into to cowling. I’ve tried a Bison muffler first but it was too big.

Well, the problem is that it...

RE: Hangar 9 Warbird Elevator Reinforcement

Discard the H9 retracts. They will only give you headaches.
There are several after-market retracts, either mechanical or pneumatic, that will work much better in this plane.

RE: H9 60 Size P-47 Thunderbolt-Build & Flying

I used a SAITO 125 and kept the servos in the stock location. I still had to move the battery backwards to reach the correct CG.

RE: Saito FG-20 or 21

The lubrication on four strokes model engines is poor. Worse in gas powered engines.
But every four stroke engine has a crankcase vent.
On glow engines we use it to inject after run oil after every...

RE: Saito - Pro FG 14 Tips and tricks only!!!

Captain2: I have had several dead sticks until I read in one of these threads, that the low speed needle of the FG14 and FG20 must be very rich. Once I did that, no more flame outs.

Per my calculations 3 in is too small and 4.5 in is too big. The correct scale spinner should be around 3.5in (90mm).
Any way, I also bought the SD spinner and will use it. The other alternative is...
