RE: Poulan 25 from FL trimmer

I have to throw in my two cents worth about the POULAN 25cc FEATHERLITE engine. I have 105, ten to fifteen minute, flights on this engine. It uses a stock carb and 16x8 prop. Using it on a BUSA 120...

RE: 25 cc weedeater on trainer???

If you are going to buy a "WEEDEATER" brand feather lite, go with the 25cc. It is the same weight as the 18cc featherlite but has much more "needed" power. I have a 25cc WEEDEATER with CH ignition on...

RE: Balsa USA Stingray 120 ?

I flew my Stingray 120 for the first time today. The 25cc WEEDEATER engine had more than enough power. I was able to do loops cuban eights etc. The engine was running on new gas and a 16x8 wood prop...

RE: Balsa USA Stingray 120 ?

Jim,
Looking GOOD! The canopy and pilot makes the plane look more realistic.
I would epoxy tri stock for support under the stabilizer and against the fuse for added strength. I didn't notice this...

RE: Balsa USA Stingray 120 ?

I have been flying the 40 and 120 Stingrays for three years. The largest engine I would use on the 40 is a 60 2 stroke (I had one). The 40 is a sweet flying plane with a 52 4 stroke. The OS 46FX is a...

RE: Balsa USA Stingray 120 ?

Jim,
Pin hinges sound OK although I have no experience with them. I would still put more than 5 on each aileron..you're working with a 39 inch aileron..we don't want any "Flutter" that will cause a...

RE: Balsa USA Stingray 120 ?

Jim,
The canopy was a stock SIG Somethin extra (40 size). I cut the length to what I needed. My pilot was a baseball player "Bobblehead" minus the bobble (no springs).

RE: Balsa USA Stingray 120 ?

Back on my post #32: I should have mentioned that the removable canopy deck also hides the wing hold down bolts. If you use a 1.2 or bigger glo engine, I strongly advise strut supports on the...

RE: Balsa USA Stingray 120 ?

The canopy is a SIG Somethn Extra canopy. As you can see, the part of the deck that the canopy is connected to is a separate piece NOT attached to the wing. The canopy deck attaches by a dowel...

RE: Balsa USA Stingray 120 ?

Here's a pic of my 120. The STINGRAY airplanes lend themselves well to "Kit bashing". I have a 40 size that resembles a PT19, and one like a P51. I have also bumped up the 40 size fuse by 25% and...

RE: Balsa USA Stingray 120 ?

Jim,
I put 5 hinges on each aileron at first, but that wasn't enough, they were breaking. Switched to RADIO SOUTH 1/4 scale hinges...9 on each aileron. One under each servo horn and one 2 inches to...

RE: reply to teufelhund

Not done building yet. Wouldn't be any differant than a side mount. Since this plane will have two battery packs a 1100 and a 1300, the batteries will be used to establish ballance. I'll give an...

RE: reply to teufelhund

Look into the WEEDEATER 25cc. SEARS has them in our locale at $69.00
If you go with electronic ignition, you can get the weight down to around 36 oz.

RE: Weedeater 25

Piper,
That is the stock carb. There is a noticable difference between the 18cc, 21cc and the 25cc engines.
The 25 has a beefed up crankcase, differant carb and carb block. The compression seems...

RE: Weedeater 25

I converted a 25WE to CH ignition and installed my own velocity stack and done away with the muffler and put on a home made expansion chamber. I'm getting 8000rpm with a 14x6 and 6600 with a 16x8....
