I just came across your post while researching my own barely started Royal Spirit of St. Louis kit. As the previous poster stated, there is no build manual included, just a bunch of balsa and a set...

RE: Need 3 Hour Epoxy

I've had good luck with G1 Epoxy from Lee Valley. It was developed for use on home-built airplanes and remains slightly flexible with air frame movement. It has a 1 hour working time with a 24 hour...

Does anyone have plans or know the recommended low and high rates for the control surfaces on a Bridi Warlord (.40 size). The control surfaces are very small and currently very little travel.

I completed the Phoenix 7 and broke the SJ 50 in on the ground as advised before installing in the plane. The plane is finished and yesterday was test day. It was pretty...

RE: SJ50 with H9 Phoenix 7-will it work?

Thanks Bob, I'll try it on the stand first as you suggested but it sounds like it will be a good match. I have an original Bridi Escape kit waiting to be built and maybe that will give me a good...

SJ50 with H9 Phoenix 7-will it work?

I want to learn pattern flying and just purchased a Hangar 9 Phoenix 7 ARF. I don't intend to compete (at this point) but want to be able to fly the classic pattern maneuvers. Since I already own a...

RE: What are Flapperons???

Certainly flaperons are not for every plane, nor every pilot but I have flown them extensively over the past two years on a Kadet LT40.  Before setting them up, I modified the ailerons from...

RE: Flaperons on trainer?

After becoming bored with my Kadet LT-40 and when a crash made a minor rebuild necessary, I equipped it with flaperons. I removed the factory ailerons and added new, full-length, 3" ailerons set up...

RE: .60 size trainer kit

I'll second Radyar on the Sig LT40. I use an OS46AX with a 12/4 or 12/6 prop and it still needs a little nose weight so a .60 should be fine. Sigs kits are top notch and every Kadet I ever saw flew...

RE: Buccaneer balance question

It took the Kraft and a pound of lead to make it balance. I doubt it will ever get much above quarter to half throttle but if it proves too much, I have all my father-in-law's old engines from the...

Oversized ailerons on LT40????

I am recovering my Kadet LT40 and the ailerons are warped enough to need replacing. After the basic training period, I started doing things for which the LT40 was really not designed and found it...

RE: piper cub pictures

I took these at a Club Float Fly last fall but they are not my planes. I have one nearly done, a Goldberg Anniversary Edition w/floats, that I will be flying at our event this summer.
