RE: Wanted - Adjusto Jig Fuselage Instructions?

Yes I just found those, but they are for the wing jig only, unfortunately.

Thanks,

RE: topflite elder 40 build

Nick,

I don't recall ever having a nose heavy attitude with this plane, just move the CG slightly to adjust.

RE: topflite elder 40 build

Thanks, its my interpretation of an Eindecker. I mixed a couple of squadrons into one design. Everything is painted on.

It has a 42-60-700 motor, 60A ESC and runs on a 4 cell 5000Mah lipo. The...

RE: Battery shelf that is light and strong

Sandwich panels are the strongest structures, as they effectively are "I" beams, wich carry huge loads. I like your battery cage design, but it would never have the strength of a sandwich panel.

RE: Battery shelf that is light and strong

The best material for that application is a sandwich panel, it will be the lightest and strongest, any solid laminate will be too heavy and not as stiff, try Sierra Composites Sandwich Panels

RE: Sig Kougar Build

you can try a HIGHER rpm/kv motor then to turn that 12x12 in the proper range.

RE: Sig Kougar Build

Hi Tommy,

I would have to say you have the wrong setup. 6.5lb plane should run 5S pack preferable 5000maH. Your motor rpm/kv is too slow, and your prop is not matched to a motor that is...

RE: Sig Kougar Build

On 6S @ 1700W that should really move, unless that plane weighs 10lbs+. Sounds as if you may not have the correct electric setup. There are not too many planes that can catch my Kougar and I am...

RE: Sig Kougar Build

Looks like Tower Hobbies is no longer carrying the Kougar. Becoming a more and more irrelevant place to shop, unless all you want is an ARF made by some Chinese women on the production line.

RE: Sig Kougar Build

hey no problem, that combo in that plane is a real eye opener to glow guys. Oops one thing I forgot to tell you, if you go with the 12 pitch prop, it produces so much torque you need to do a nice...

RE: Sig Kougar Build

Yes, don't use the landing gear blocks, if its an old kit, or really any kit that uses a solid piece of wood for landing blocks, odds are one or both will split on a hard landing, then its a big job...

Hi,

I saved my broken canopy in the hopes of one day I would need it. If you are interested, I can make a mold from the broken one and vacuum form one. Just have to work out what the costs would...

RE: Sig Kougar Build

The foam wing cores do not come joined, so its not an incomplete kit. Use proper adhesive when joining the wing halves and sheeting you won't have a problem. Use 20 minute epoxy for the fuselage, and...

RE: Best Houston RC Flying clubs ?

Not sure about a field there. But I just helped a guy at Scobee fly his F-16 foam EDF with wire landing gear, and having all that space was excellent for even the small EDF.

RE: Best Houston RC Flying clubs ?
