RE: Dopler wave o scope use

Fun it was, too.

Looks to me like a 4st doubles the number of octaves shown, likely from the every-second-revolution exhaust note. The display was more cluttered and busy than I'm used to with...

RE: Dopler wave o scope use

Hmmm... It's possible that there's alot of background noise hiding the plane's sound.... I've never had a problem, so no help here...

I centre the cursor in the line, both coming and going. ...

RE: Dopler wave o scope use

Any plane that makes a constant noise can be dopplered. Electrics, glow, gas, 2st, 4st, even jets. The motor's noise is used almost like a clock pulse, giving a constant pitch noise that is shifted...

RE: what causes flutter?

I have a model that suffered flutter, the Dynaflite Fun Scale P51D 40 size in my avitar beside this post. It was on an early flight in its life, maybe it's 6th or so. The airframe was built by a...

RE: Difference between A3 and #8 plugs??

I've used 8's and a3's in my 46AX and noted no real difference in performance. The 8 seemed to last slightly longer. I run 15% omega, and the engine turns very fast (16-17K in the air), yet the 8's...

RE: Engine Break in Stand. Don't need to buy one!

I usually hack a pair of mounting beams from a piece of hardwood, and jury rig a throttle linkage and a fuel tank. Most of my engines are second hand, and I like to know it's a goer before I build a...

RE: O.S L.A .46 Help

Many of us hand start them. So long as you can get thru compression, it's turning fast enough.

The key is in priming correctly.

First thing I'd ask is is fuel getting to the carb? It is...

RE: engine trouble

I chased a similar problem on a Norvel .061 setup I have.

First, you MUST get the low speed needle tuned. However, if there's too much play in the throttle linkage (a problem that plagues...

RE: OS 55AX

I'm flying a 11x6 on a baffle-less .46ax in my Mustang. 13K and change static, ready for flight (500 off peak) unloads to over 17K in the air! 60 flights or so so far, most WOT from start to finish...

RE: How to mix in flaperons?

Slave the elevator to channel 6, flapperon. If you slave it to aileron, every turn you make will have ele mixed in. Slave to the flap channel.

RE: After run oil

If you run the fuel outta your engines at the end of the day, after run oil is at best a bit of insurance. Nothing more. Running the excess methanol/nitro out is the key.

RE: After run oil

The best thing to use is air tool oil. Marvel Mystery Air Tool Oil is very popular for this. Some mix with ATF. I just use a generic brand air tool oil, and I use it only when the plane is going...

RE: Engine cut-out

A 6oz tank is pretty small for a .40. Probably limited to about 6 minutes WOT. How long into that second flight were you? It's very easy to fuel starve an engine once the tank is below about 1/3rd...

RE: 2.1 kilograms, powered by a O.S. .50

Washout is actually most beneficial at low speeds, near stall. It's not a bad idea, but if you have a constant-chord wing (not tapered), then it already has washout built in without warp. The...

Can't speak for gasoline proof, but it does well with glow exhaust residue. It softens if soaked with straight methanol, or unburnt fuel, but is absolutely impervious (as far as I can tell, on 3...

RE: 2.1 kilograms, powered by a O.S. .50

Washout describes a wing that is twisted such that the wingtips point slightly downward, 1 or 2 degrees, relative to the wing root. This increases aileron authority in a stall, and helps prevent tip...

RE: Yet another question on aerobatic maneuvers: Snap roll

You need more throw.

Set your rudder for all the throw you can get.

Gradually increase the elevator throw until you can get enough to snap. It's the elevator that causes the stall, and the...
