RE: F-27 Stryker dolly?

I hate hand launching, so I built a dolly for my Stryker. Works great. Don't touch the controls and it flys straight off. Angle of attack is set at 8 degrees. The little crank is for windage...

RE: Vintage R/C Plans 9' Catalina PBY-5A

Well, I scrapped the use of levers and springs to close the gear doors and opted for cylinders and a sequencing valve. The installation is complete and now I can remove everything to paint the...

RE: New .90 gas engine (15cc)

I read some bad reviews of serevice from Nitro Planes so I have also looked at the TF P-47. It has a much more open cowl. The cooling would probably be much better. I also like the flaps and...

Can you post some photos of the...

RE: Vintage R/C Plans 9' Catalina PBY-5A

Well, I am having great difficulty getting both gear doors to work. I am not sure it can be done with springs and levers. How have others done it? Separate servos or air cylinders on the doors? ...

RE: Vintage R/C Plans 9' Catalina PBY-5A

One of my big concerns with this build has been how to close and open the gear doors. You have previously seen the graphic of my design. Now it has been executed. I have done the starboard door so...

RE: Vintage R/C Plans 9' Catalina PBY-5A

The wing area of this model is 9.72 sq ft. Fred says the weight with the retracts will be in the 25 pound area. That gives a wing loading of 2.57 lb/ft2. My Extra 300 has a 9.06 sq ft wing and a...

RE: Introducing The New 50cc Extra 300 ARF-QB!

I am using Real Flight G5 and the Extra 300 that came with it. However, the simulated 300 takes full rudder and full power to knife edge. That doesn't represent my 50cc Extra very well. What are...

RE: Introducing The New 50cc Extra 300 ARF-QB!

Here is the location of my choke servo. It is the one mounted near the center of the fuselage and lower than the throttle servo. I also have a DA50 and this location works out fine.
