who makes this kit
 

Hey guys, i have an 1/2a its ready to fly well almost. But i have no idea who makes it. I just installed my radio and motor
from cox viper 0.49 but I am not sure who makes it. Here is some pic's thank you.

RE: who makes this kit
 

Very nice model! It looks like an ACE RC type wing, but I have no real idea who made the kit.

RE: who makes this kit
 

Maybe and its all balsa.

I dunno, that hairy wrist makes me think this is some kind of CP rouse.:D

Nice job whatever it is.[sm=thumbup.gif]

RE: who makes this kit
 

Looks sort of like an Ace GLH. Was available with foam or built up wing.
Designed for a T.D. 49 to 51.

Wing span about 32 inchs?

Would anyone argue that the GLH was the best flying 1/2A kit ever?

RE: who makes this kit
 

GLH is shoulder wind and no LG.

RE: who makes this kit
 

GLH had a sweep of 20deg each panel, this thing may have started out with a built-up glh kit, that wing is not swept as much as the stock glh. looks fun

RE: who makes this kit
 

It sorta looks Jr. Falconish too....

I'm betting this was never a kit, unless it's a heavily-bashed one. I vote for a heavily-modified Jr. Falcon (modified with a swept wing and non-airfoil tail).

You're probably on the right track. It looks like a clipped wing built up GLH II with trike gear and a canopy. I put trike gear on the fuselage of a GLH in the late 80s in an attempt to make a cheap sport plane that could take off and land on a Tartan track around the athletic field next to my office. Even with the LG it was too hot for flying that near campus.

What ever it is, It's pretty sharp![8D]

RE: who makes this kit
 

Reminds me of a plane a friend of mine had called the Griffin. Cannon gave you the plans when you bought a G-Mark, I believe. But, the wing looks like something the builder created.

RE: who makes this kit
 

Certainly one of the better airplanes kitted for an .049 i've ever flown... It was a revelation early on in my flying career, and still would be enough to get me out of bed on a sunday if I had one built. Still have a kit, but I plan to do a sheeted wing for the next one.

RE: who makes this kit
 

Good, i haven't flown this plane yet, well i tried with a himax brushless motor, i don't know what was wrong didn't wanted to fly,
i don't think it had the power oh well. Yesturday I installed a new 049 sure start without the back choke tube, and motor ran
but didn't ran to good. So I took it off made some mod I made a little mount painted black and hopefully I'll pas the line this
time on the bottom and soon I will buy a 1 ounce tank instead of using the old 2 ounce tank. Hope this time it does fly atleast
i can know it is flyible then i will install a Ap Wasp .061. I can see aleron is very skinny and small. What ya all think? And how
should I setup the tank? And what type?

RE: who makes this kit
 

wrong this is a very light weight model probably less then 15 or so. I might take it in in the future to the post office and see
whats her weight. I ran my motor again on a stand and it works great, I think it is the tank and the fueline setup. Can
someone help me with that? Also this plane wing span is between 32-34 its one of those. Thanks guys!!

RE: who makes this kit
 

I'm still thinking Griffin fusealge with a homemade wing.

RE: who makes this kit
 

Jim, I think Sullivan makes a decent 1 oz tank shaped like a cylinder. Just go with a solid 3/32" brass tube in the tank to deliver fuel. Sullivan also makes the best small silicone fuel line. It helps to have a 2 ounce syringe with a hunk of 3/32" brass tubing sticking out of the syringes' tip to make refueling easier.

BTW, to keep a round tank from rolling inside the plane, pack it in there tightly with foam. It will also prevent fuel foaming.

RE: who makes this kit
 

es es, well I am thinking about saving this plane since its cute. I have an old cox pt-19 which is a rc and all foam.
Yes I know its collectible but hey i already mod because it was melting took off the first cockpit so. If I crash
hell foam is alot easier to fix then balsa and is tuff. What do you all think should I fix the first plane whatever
it is or just fly my foamy? I fly other type of planes but i want to get something up and running that is a 1/2 A
plane 2 channel.

RE: who makes this kit
 

Nice little plane! Never seen this before, looks like its built from many ideas. Controls look good, should work fine. Fuel tank, whatever you can fit in there, even a "perfect" style would work if need be.
