RE: I'm looking for companies that sell 1/4 scale or larger WWI kits?

A little known, but great company is Fun Aero: http://www.funaero.com/ I believe that the only 1/4 scale WWI kit they have right now is the SE5a. They have some smaller Albatros kits, and I've...

RE: Need Plane for 1.60 Twin Engine (No Cubs Please)

The Stinson is another idea. How did this kit build? How does it fly? What engine do you have in yours?
Thanks!

RE: Need Plane for 1.60 Twin Engine (No Cubs Please)

I like the WACO idea. I've built 2 of the smaller ones over the years, but didn't consider one of the 1/5 scale kits since Pica went out of business. I remember the smaller WACO kit as a real...

Need Plane for 1.60 Twin Engine (No Cubs Please)

I usually pick a scale airplane that catches my fancy and then shop for the approptiate engine. This time I'm doing it the other way around. I picked up a new Magnum 1.60 twin engine for too good a...

RE: WACO YMF

I remember that finding a fuel tank for the 1/6 scale WACO was always a difficult task. Like you mentioned, the problem is not the depth but the width and height of the opening. I took a look at my...

RE: WACO YMF

Hi Bill,

That 160 twin looks like a perfect fit. Now you got me thinking I might want to try one in mine. I had planned to power mine with a Saito 120 or possibly a 150 which I have on hand,...

RE: WACO YMF

RE: WACO YMF

I took a quick look at some old plans of the 1/6 scale WACO. The CG is 4.5" back from the LE of the top wing. There is no mention of incidence angles that I can find on the plans or manual (but I...

RE: 1/5 Scale Pica WACO question.

I emailed you a copy of the manual. I have an extra copy of the 1/6 scale plans lying around here somewhere, I think? I'm not sure that they would be of too much help with the larger plane, but if...

RE: 1/5 Scale Pica WACO question.

Sorry Bill,

I just checked my email and it looks like the copy of the manual I tried to send you got bounced back. I suspect it may be due to the large size. I will try to convert to a...

RE: 1/5 Scale Pica WACO question.

Bill I emailed you a copy of the manual in PDF format. It is a 1MB file and may take some time to download. Let me know if you have any problems. If anyone else needs a copy I have it on file.[8D]

RE: 1/5 Scale Pica WACO question.

There is a short manual in my kit. It is only 13 pages long, so it may not be all that helpful. I also have this kit, but it will be a while before I build it. I'm not sure if this is the actual...

If you can't find Solartex, look for Worldtex or Colortex. They are the same thing sold under different names. King RC carries Worldtex: http://www.kingrc.com/, and so does Sheldon's:...

RE: tantrum setup

I'm late to the Tantrum party, but when I saw RVators post I had to respond. Great minds must think alike, cause we both used similar color schemes for our Tantrums:

RE: Flair 1/4 Scale PT-17 Stearman Review

The Balsa USA stearman would be nice, but it is just too big for me.

Nick Ziroli Sr. emailed me that although he didn't initially think that the large stearman would fly on a 3 cu.in. engine,...

RE: Flair 1/4 Scale PT-17 Stearman Review

Stearman65 thanks for the information. You confirmed my suspicions about Flair. I will probably go with the Ziroli stearman. In fact, I think I already have a set of plans for that one around here...

RE: Flair 1/4 Scale PT-17 Stearman Review

RE: anybody see the new e-flite brushless motors?

I don't think the E-flite motors are a rip off of the HiMaxx. I think they are the HiMaxx motors in a different wrapper. There is actually at least 1 other company putting their name on these...
