Rick,
Good thing you had the de-icers on to keep that jet from stalling. :) I can certainly empathize with the rain situation. We've had more than our fair share lately but, the forecast for...

Yeah, me too. Now if I could just find a plane I can fly without killing it. :)

Glad you had a great time at Rinebeck. Getting next to "the real deal" was a treat I'll bet.

I finally got the old OS .91s running tonight. I got the timing wrong twice but, the third time was the charm. :) It has great compression and the new parts appear to be working well together. ...

I was thinking of an engine like a small DLE or DA. RCGF makes a nice 15cc and a 20cc. I had the 15cc on my Camel and it was very good engine. In a moment of weakness, I sold it to a local guy and...

Assir,

Hey Azzir,

Once the airplane is up, it really doesn't care what the wind is doing, within reason. Getting it up and down safely that worries me. At our field, the wind can be 5 to 6 mph and suddenly gust to...

I was perfectly happy with the Saito FA80 when flying in winds under 10 mph and down the runway. However, those conditions rarely occur here in north central Texas. My H9 DVII ARF was a birthday...

I ordered a new engine mount for the DVII. It's a Dubro adjustable (composite) for .60 to .120 engines and should be the cure for my problem. I have a on of those for a .120 to .180 but, it's...

I have room to transport it without disassembly so, I'll probably install the battery before I leave the house. It's difficult to work with a saddle mounted wing in the winds we generally have. I'd...
