Hey buddy you left out some of the best pics! ;-)

Sorry that the spit didn't get a chance to fly today... And steal your prop so your chip was grounded too :-P
Here is a link to the 'vanessa rig' I mentioned to check the CoG:

Hey matey!

Thanks for the link! I'll go into it a bit more tomorrow as I bookmarked it! Sure will help to get the C.G. of the Spit just right!

@Kostas1

The FA120 turns a 15x8 Graupner prop which remains to be tested as The Spitfire has flown only twice with this setup. Your engine is exactly the same as mine, a FA120s GOLD RK I guess that you don't have this problem? What do you do to start this engine without problems?



Hi again!

I must say first,
that i got the engine USED and since i got it i use only CoolPower 15% N-18% oil,
and APC 16x6.

I also use a Type F glowplug from OS.

The engine just keeps making me happy.

I start her normally,
using my Sullivan starter and a good prime.

One thing that i must point out is that i have set the HS NV at 1-1/8turns , out from fully closed.
