Ziroli P51 construction query

I've been lucky enough to purchase a Ziroli Mustang from an estate sale. No plans, construction complete close to the point of being ready for final sanding before glassing and fitting, out after a...

Can a Spektrum DX8 Buddy with JR9x?

I have a JR PCM 9x and several models on 36MHz (in New Zealand). I want to move gradually to 2.4 and I also need to set up for training so buddying up with a DX8 as the slave looks like a good way to...

RE: 1/8 scale TopFlite Corsair Mods

It weighs 10-1/2lbs. I learnt from the last one which was about 14lbs; I doped all the balse before glassing to stop the epoxy soaking in and I was very careful to be stingy with the epoxy. Also I...

RE: 1/8 scale TopFlite Corsair Mods

Well I have finally flown my Corsair. I built the wing and tail incidence at scale angles and I can report that she flew fine. The only difference I noted from my previous TF Corsair is that she...

RE: Building a Top Flite GE 1/8 scale F4U Corsair

Thanks Wildcard. The engine is a Super Tigre 90, about 10 years old but has not had too much running. I replaced the original crap carburettor with an ASP one and that transformed the engine into a...

RE: Building a Top Flite GE 1/8 scale F4U Corsair

NCIS - please satisfy my curiosity. What does the model weigh, and have you managed to test fly it yet?
I have just gone through the same process of kit bashing, my Corsair came out at 10-1/2lbs...

RE: Seidel 7-70 radial: Help me decide!

Thanks Spuetz, that's an interesting answer. That is quite frugal for a 7 cylinder engine and the fuel would be cheap with such a low oil ratio (hard to believe so low) and no nitro, as you say.
I...

RE: Seidel 7-70 radial: Help me decide!

I have been intrigued by these motors for a while, but I am scared of the possible running costs - glow fuel is not cheap. What is the consumption like in these beautiful motors?

RE: 1/8 scale TopFlite Corsair Mods

Hey Tom

These projects do tend to stagnate for long periods, my Corsair did as well. But NZ5385 is all but finished now, just needs the nose art and serial numbers; final fitting of the...

RE: 1/8 scale TopFlite Corsair Mods

Is there a story behind this Tom? I'd love to know more if there is. It would be great to see a unique Corsair.

RE: DL-50 engine

RE: DL-50 engine

Thanks, I recall reading about that before, but I didn't associate it with rolls. I'll do the job properly and solder on a nipple and run a line into a wee box or a fuel canister in the fuse.
I'll...

RE: DL-50 engine

I re-tuned my DL50 this morning, out at the field. It is probably not fully run in yet and last time I adjusted it got it too lean thenI was too heavy handed fixing that and ended up too rich on the...

RE: Scale nose

The cooling gills will be well marked to look real but not opened at all, I beleive they were open on the ground and at low speed, not all the time. The link from the muffler to the exhausts will...

The nose is shortened back to scale, I can't remember the exact measurement I'll have to look it up. The right thrust is built in to the firewall. The cowl ring is mounted using the existing mount...

I'm putting together my first big petrol powered model, a 28% Edge. For this model I'll need powerful servos obviously, and I use JR gear. My question is - is it necessary to use...

Those are real clear pictures - do you have any close-ups that show the fit of the cooling gills to the cowl? I'm intrigued to see if there is much of a gap opens up between the front (hinge line) of...
