RE: KMP Beaver e-power conversion

Yeah, flew her quite a bit. Flew just like a scale beaver, had to fly the rudder, 1/3 throttle cruise, no Super Cub floater here . She was pretty slippery in the air. I sold the plane to a bud of...

RE: Global/VQ 1.20 size Turbo Porter

MM, here are the pics of the DuBro 6 inch inflated tire and pump set up. DuBro doesn't sell a pump, they just give you the tire and valve filler. You use a piece of fuel line and stick their valve...

RE: Global/VQ 1.20 size Turbo Porter

They are easy to inflate, they have a small tire valve that you screw in and you use a small basketball/football hand pump. Takes about 3 pumps. You use a section of silicone fuel tubing over a cut...

RE: Global/VQ 1.20 size Turbo Porter

I have been running the DuBro inflated tires on a 1/4 scale super cub and my Beaver with no problems at all. They hold air very well and are easy to inflate. I probably wouldn't run them on a plane...

RE: Global/VQ 1.20 size Turbo Porter

RE: VQ Pilatus Porter E-Power conversion

That's what I love about electric, it doesn't care about altitude. It's full power at the flick of your thumb. I'm flying much heavier planes on basically the same combo and have plenty of power....

RE: New Giant Scale 118

RE: New Giant Scale 118

Thanks:D It has DuBro 6" inflatable tires. I also have them on my 1/4 scale Pilatus Porter. I'm big time into bush planes and these bad boys sure smooth out the landings. I'm patiently waiting for...

RE: New Giant Scale 118

I took another look at the pics and it does appear to have panel lines and rivets. The fuse/wing profiles look accurate, but the lack of pilot/co-pilot doors and the missing smaller side cargo doors...

RE: RC Guys Super Decathlon coming

No idea why you had to cross the cables. Cable tension should be snug, not overly tight. Too much tension will eventually damage the servo.

RE: KMP Beaver e-power conversion

Thanks. I'm assuming the wood is thick enough in the wing to support this type of insert. Is it hardwood, ply or balsa in the wing? I haven't drilled the wing yet, which is why I'm asking. I agree...
