Yep, I also see conflict. And what I posted above is for the VA MKII and is not all applicable to Cox engines.

RE: STUPIDLY THICK or STUPIDLY STUPID..???

RE: STUPIDLY THIN / STUPIDLY FAST...?

RE: STUPIDLY THIN / STUPIDLY FAST...?

Hey Pigg, good morning,

Your post on Bob Carver reminded me of his buying Combat planes long before it was the norm (as it is now). Is Jim the son you refer to? If so, not only were they very...

RE: Bent rod

And if you had not been able to get the new rod I'll bet there was a chance you could have straightened it. The same softness that allowed it to bend might allow it to be straightened.

RE: Propellers

I'm with Bernie. When I was flying 1/2A Combat (seriously over-competitive, going to the Nats and many contests each year) I ran the black Cox 5X3 (cut to 4.5 X 3) more than any other prop.

RE: Norvel .061 smallest and largest prop sizes?

Brian, your post and concern for your engine got me to reflecting on AMEs and running them in 1/2A CL Combat in the late 90's. So I dug around in my cabinet and found some notes on setting up the...

RE: Wild Deuce

Funny, but this is not the type of design I visualized when thinking of a Wild Deuce.

Now that I see it, I think it is a natural for a Tri-Motor (engine) set-up.
