RE: OS SX-H Hyper Blowing glow plugs

Have to agree on the lean run. A smoke trail indicates that there is sufficient oil in the fuel, not that the mixture is lean or rich. Have you tried pinching the fuel line at full power? If the...

RE: Looking for Airfoil advice

RE: A1 Skyraider

I would assume that when you are running the engine, the plane is sitting on its wheels. This puts the thrust line of the engine above the pivot point of the aircraft, the contact patch of the...

RE: YA Spitfire IX Canopy won't stay closed.

It seems I've also heard of people using a section of square tubing with a slot cut in one side for something like the head of a screw to travel in. You might also try making the sliding action...

RE: What type of plane would be good for an OS FF-320 53cc glow engine?

RE: Vailley Hurricane

Have you considered contacting Vailley directly? He must have had a good reason for his choice of wood, eg, strength.

RE: Inkscape for .svg Vector Files

RE: 1/8 scale WWII Pilot Figures - Where?

Wouldn't a 1/7 scale figure be too large since 1/7 = .143 and 1/8 = .125?
