I have been focusing on 4-engine bombers lately, although I still have 3 P-61's and 2 P-38's in my stable



Recently, I installed one of JR's new gyro's in one of my Bf-110's, not...

Twinman!

Delighted to see you back on the forum!

Have you got any interesting and/or unusual projects to tell us about?

(If that's not a baited hook, I don't know what is)

A guy named Tomas, in Texas used to sell them. Don't know if he's even in the business anymore.

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

My apologies.

I just double-checked the thread Jimmy Bananas started on the ASM P-61

He clearly states he flew it with Saito .62's

I can tell you from personal observation, they flew...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

.72 four strokes are perfect engines for the ASM

I flew my VQ (.91 2S's) side-by-side with JimmyBananas ASM (.72 4-S's). They were a good match. If anything, he was a little faster.

Here's...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

A 26 cc gas engine would be a nice powerplant for the plane, although perhaps a tough fit in the cowl (it would stick out some).

Personally, I don't much care if a good gas engine sticks out a...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

SWORDSN:

Kudos on surviving the first two engine-out's.

I think you will find the VQ-61 to be a sweeter flyer, but not as easy a lander as the VQ-38....probably has to do with the absence...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

SWORDSN:

Sloppiness in the flap linkages irked me, too.

I think what you mean by "reversed leverage advantage" is the flaps move a lot with relatively small servo movements?

That, and...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Sorry about that, dude!

I've always said that these reports of "flies great with an engine out" were conditional to the situation.

Sure, if you lose the correct engine with plenty of...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

My experience with the 61 is that you don't need flaps for landing, but they will help slow it down. Your landing on the video looked exactly like most of mine....burn up half the runway just...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Actually, I didn't call it a "pleasure." I called it a "thrill." Somewhat like a cardiac stress test :).

It looks darn good, even with the silver spinners.

Don't baby the throttles too...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Sorry, Sam.

I tried to think of things to make you feel better:

You may be surprised how little gear cycling moves the CG on a tri-gear twin.

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Based on my experience with a Ziroli P-61 (twin G-62's), and the VQ P-38 (OS .61's), I think .61's might be marginal for a plane of this size, weight and conformation. It certainly won't have trouble...
