Davis Diesel Conversions

For someone like me, who's served on flightlines where diesel (JP-8 for us, actually) was everywhere the smell's actually not that bad. I don't think with the 95F temps and 80%+ humidity that any us...

Dual Aileron Servos?

Also, at the speed your trainer flies (everyone's trainer) and the maneuverability demanded of it, it's no problem to load both wings to one servo. On faster and larger airplanes, you'd be putting...

Dream Ships? Post them!

What about a 'jug (P-47)? I also wouldn't mind seeing a nice twin mustang... maybe some of the naval planes like a SBD or TBM?

2 or 4 Stroke??

I find 4-strokes respond quicker (the plane in flight) because they produce all their power right away, low in the RPM range compared to a 2C. This helps the plane speed up quickly - almost the same...

Why do all our garages look the same?

All my tools are model-building tools. Completely unsuitable for home improvement tasks :) What's that, you ask?

what's the best 25 range 2stroke for a twin application

A few problems with oversized engines:
1. Practical prop too big to clear ground comfortably.
2. Weight. The engines themselves -are- much lighter. Remember, on a 90-powered bipe weight might...

YS Lovers - YS-110!
