Jan, Die Fliegende Hollander:

I've brought a picture of your P-61 engine, and another of your B-17 engine here as a teaser for others to visit your site. Hope you don't mind.

Manfred:

Sam's plane has the very latest in AFCE systems - RNAV combined with auto-land, and the very newest part, auto-take-off. No doubt he has CAS in there too.

Haw.

Sam:

The F7F ARF from Cedar Hobbies isn't that far along, it will be a while before it is on the web site. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it. The drawings just went off to the builder about...

Re the F7F Tigercat. Cedar Hobbies has one under development, it's supposed to be a 40-46 size plane.

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Very sorry to hear that sir.

Hope it can be repaired, but from 30 feet? A lot of time, money, and skilled effort gone otherwise.

If you end up putting a new one together there's a...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Sam:

At your stated rpm readings the pitch speed is about 18% higher (60 mph vs. 50 mph) with the four bladed props. If the engines will handle the greater load all should be well.

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Sam and Walt:

Check with your lodal friendly rotorhead modeler. He most likely has a special plier just for attaching and detaching ball links. A good one is expensive, $35-$40, but well worth...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Sam:

The DuBro #367 is a single link set, #860 is a pack of 12. And yes, they are the ones I suggested.

Incidentally, they are exactly the same as the 4-40 ones except for the hole for the...

They would be twice as great if they were all mine.

I did have a couple, sold them for the money to buy the new pair almost three years ago now.

Another note on the Techno 7B - without the ignition distributor it also is about 4 1/2" drive washer to the back of the engine.

Just wish Marc Linville would build them faster.

Except for one minor matter, here is THE engine for the P-61. The Technopower 7B. It will fit inside a 7" cowl, is a seven cylinder radial that will spin a 15x8 at 7500 rpm. Further, it's...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Red line on the 170R3 is 9500 rpm, you'd have to be careful with the 15x8. Maybe a three blade?

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

The Saito 170R3 radial will clear inside an 8 1/2" cowl with a little to spare. Expect about 8K rpm with a 16x8 on 15% fuel. I don't know if you'd consider it too heavy or not, it weighs...

You and Twinman have shamed me into admitting there is really a Saito 170 radial. It's a three cylinder, as I check it it's a little under 8 1/2" diameter and right at 4 1/2" drive washer...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

The Saito FA-72 and FA-82 are just about 4" from the prop drive to the back of the carb. Should mount with no problem. The FA-80, 91 and 100 are roughly 4 1/2" so they should work too,...
