RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Nemesis4u,
She's in the hanger (see pic) for the winter (other wise, known as the family room!).
The 91's work great: nice sound hearing twins fly.
I'm 'bugging' the club member who took the...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

The OS FX .91's are about the only engines with enough power to not protrude out of the cowls.
You may be able to only have a hole just for the plug but I put a large enough hole in to insure the...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Flight update:
20 flights and she's still lookin' good.
Had her at the TORK's warbird flyin but unable to fly her due to a fuel line leak.
Fortunately I was able to fix her by just removing the...

Walt,
I'm guessing in flight since I have wing bags for the outer wings.

Flap update.
One of the hinges broke on the flap side.

First picture:
I drilled a hole in the center of each part of the broken half of the hinge,

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

15 flights on the P-61.
No engine adjustment but the elevator needed a few clicks.
Another pilot said with the 92 degree heat, the rods may be expanding:
I imagine it's pretty hot in those...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Bill,
Didn't see anything on their web site.

A testimonial to flying the F-82 versus the P-38.
Engine went out just past the runway on a final lap
and was able to take her all the way...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Kram,
That is good philosophy.

Nemesis4u:
The F-82 is the easiest to fly (about 60 flights on her).
I have to agree on the B-25 flying difficulties: those wings taper fast (like the P-38)....

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Flew three twins over the weekend.

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Randy,
I've got the adjustable metal brackets that are separate from the back cover.
I assume that is the good one!

FGPierce,
I'm going to have to get some 13X8 props and try those out.

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

After another flight today,
I put the APC 4-blade 13.8X10's on and only got 7000 RPM's
versus 8500 on the MAS 3-blade 14X7's.
Any discussion on whether this is sufficient?

One more flight in today.
First time off a grass runway.

She was hanging by the engines again
but I put in some left...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Randy,
She's pretty light for a 90 incher so extra weight shouldn't hurt.

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Radar nose fixed.

I used a brass rod and brass tube to hold the nose on (in addition to the door latch).

First picture:
I just drilled a hole on each side with the nose on the plane.

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

I find the best time for maidens are at giant scale flyin's with 28 pilots watching and camera's and video's rolling!!
Other than that, pick a calm day or with light wind going down the runway.

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Forgot to mention that I flew her for the first time with the cowls on as well as the retracts up.
Engines still sound fantastic.
Still using the MAS 3-bladers yet.
Will try the 4 bladers...

Retracts went up OK and they appeared to be down for...
