RE: Dirty Birdy Build Thread

I also have an Aurora 9 (I love this radio!).
I almost exclusively use LiIon packs (2 cell 7.4V) with a regulator. There are a lot of new servos on the market that can handle the higher voltages...

RE: Dirty Birdy Build Thread

Cees,
Thanks for doing the research! Your efforts are much appreciated.

After reading Bob's comment on the header/pipe length being the same as the Rossi, I pulled out my (pre-tuned :D) Mac's...

RE: Dirty Birdy Build Thread

***Trimming the header interfered with the nipple I installed for the fuel tank vent line. There is no longer any "muffler" pressure to my fuel system. I did add a check-valve to the vent line -...

RE: Dirty Birdy Build Thread

I will try an APC 12-8 on the stock length header (I purchased 2 headers) once I finish testing the 11-7.

Yes, this is the first time I've had to start from scratch tuning with no data. Mac's website has a good database for header length and ballpark RPM for a good number of engines. Plus they also...

RE: Dirty Birdy Build Thread

I ran a few more tanks of fuel through the NovaRossi.
At first I was a bit disappointed when I put the tach on it. - 12,400 with the 11-8.
I pulled the 11-8 and put an APC 11-7. 12,600. ...

Breaking in the NovaRossi.

The engine started and ran beautifully right from the start. I ran 2 tanks of 5% nitro 22% oil. APC 11-8 prop. My vent line stayed connected to the header pipe...

My pump set up is similar to this drawing. Item 9 is a filter and item 11 is a check valve.

RE: Dirty Birdy Build Thread

Well, it's finally ready to fly. I switched from JR (9303 2.4) to the new Hitec Aurora 9.

Mounting the fuel tank on the centerline (right in the middle of the radio compartment) was more of a...

RE: Dirty Birdy Build Thread

Thanks for the comments guys.

The design was a team effort between Chris (Cspaced) and myself. I'm really excited about how it turned out.

BTW, my daughter is out of the hospital and back...

Thanks!

As long as you don't want curved lines anywhere on the plane, send it on.... :D Duplicating curved lines is a PITA!!! I do think it came out pretty good though.

Thanks again to BRUSTY for sending me a replacement canopy. [sm=thumbs_up.gif][sm=thumbs_up.gif][sm=thumbs_up.gif] It didn't quite turn out like the last one, but I'm still happy with it.

RE: Dirty Birdy Build Thread

I don't think I'll try it again with primer on the plug. I will strip off all the primer and use only epoxy and micro balloons.
I also need to find a better material for the canopy. The material...

RE: Dirty Birdy Build Thread

The first pull ruined the plug. The hot plastic bubbled up the primer on the plug. I'm back to square one. I might make the next one out of balsa or just fill the canopy we...
