Thanks HarryC,

Good explanation and I guess I will install it without a hush kit and test through the full rpm range and check whether the surfaces are stable.

RE: C&C Model M346 build and painting thread

Thanks Christiaan,

I'll pull my fin tomorrow and check but I suspect you are 100% right that it is a hollow tube. I'll hysol a solid inner into place to prevent it from being crushed by the...

Hi Christiaan,

Oh dear...that's terrible news. I have one on the building table at the moment so that leaves me feeling a little cold. Do you know where on the read vertical carbon tube it...

I took the plunge this afternoon and put a couple of flights on a P-120 SE running top of the line Motorex full-synthetic 2t oil. Like others, I'm increasingly keen to avoid exposure...

RE: Neptuno 170

Hey Guys,

I know this thread is a little old but does anyone have a cg recommendation (from leading edge at root) for the Neptuno? I have one nearly ready to go.

RE: hydraulic retracts

Hi Guys,

Given the price on the HK unit, I'm going to order one and give it a go. Has anyone tried using this setup in conjunction with JetTronic valves and, if so, did it work out okay?

RE: C&C Model M346 build and painting thread

Hi Ali,

Cool that it flies nicely but bummer about the gear issues. I was hesitant buying v1.0 on the electric gear, so picked mine up less retracts, struts and wheels/brakes. The plan is to...

RE: C&C Model M346 build and painting thread

Graham,

It has great lines and should have a relatively low wing-loading. I got mine via Global Jet Club and was very happy with the service from my local dealer, Jeremy, as well as Cindy. I...

RE: C&C Model M346 build and painting thread

I went with the red pre-painted version although I almost wish I had gone plain white as I have a sport scheme in mind that would have worked a treat on this airframe. Oh well...the red looks good in...
