In case anyone needs a Demon engine, I've got a YS .45 FISE w/tuned pipe and header for sale in the classifieds. I managed to adapt an 11mm bore OS heli carb to my Nelson .40 S/S, so I don't need the...

Not sanding the spars won't hurt much, if at all. I find thin CA to be pretty tenacious for these.

Looks like I'm stuck with the stock muffler, then. That's OK, I'm not looking to go "high tech". Never heard of a Vertigo before. Car engines tend to be a PITA to set up for airplanes. Not sure if...

Is the fuel-draw adequate when running open-face exhaust? (suction) Or does it need some kind of pressure?

A bit of weight-savings could still be had, I think. I used an Orange Fasst 8ch receiver, which are a bit large and I used a standard Futaba switch. The root ribs are 1/8" lite ply, which might be...

Well, here it is. Covering and finishing was much lighter than I expected. It came in at just under 10.25 oz., RTF. This is the lightest RC airplane I've ever built, I think. The Norvel will make...

It's not really a good application for the .074, either, as it's not really a high-winder. I'm using it simply because I have so many of them. That and the fact that they run so well.

My go-to prop for the .074 is the APC 7x3, but I thought I'd start with the MA 6x4 since I have several of them on hand. I also have a bunch of APC 4.75x4.75's, though I've never run one on an .074....

I finally got around to knocking up a 1/2A Demon. Looks like the A/U weight will be 12-14 oz. which should make it pretty lively. Span is 18". Power is a Norvel .074. Construction is ala Demon,...

I read somewhere that he used solid fuel rocket motors in some of his test models. Alexander Lippisch was a full-blown genius and never got the post-war recognition he deserved. He continued his...

The screws are #2 socket-head servo mounting screws. Not very aerodynamic but they were on-hand. Du-Bro sells them.

I think it's probably going to be on par with a .32 glow. Wish I could have tached it but I was too busy just hanging on to it. I need to build a test stand for electrics.

I'll probably cut-down an 8-8 to try simply because I have so many of them, one won't be missed. I'm almost finished covering it now. The maiden will be Sunday or Monday.

That's a good question and I haven't been able to figure it out either. Years ago, there was an ARF available called the "Laser Arrow". It was about 36" span and built like a tank. It was too thick...

Been working on it again tonight. Once I test-fitted the motor, I decided to do some watt-meter pulls with some different props. Started with 4S and an APC 8-6E. 104 amps. A bit much. I must have...

Thanks Rudeboy. That's exactly the kind of advice I need. I was thinking 6.5-7" dia. and about 5-6" pitch on 6S. I was going to try 4S first, so thanks for reinforcing that idea. I happen to have...
