RE: Multi Engine Break In
Thank you Earlwb and CanDo. Glad you came aboard Ed also. I have enjoyed the somewhat eclectic choices in multi's that tends to paralell my tastes also, you and your buddy have produced over the years and please let him know for me that its appriciated.
Kram, excellent point about the cooling and one that often too little thought is given to. On most of my non scale multi's I have choosen to go with completely exposed engines so that was not a big issue at break in time. It seems to me that a common mistake where fully cowled installations are used (singles or multi's) is the failure to allow sufficient outlet flow and in the most aft and usually down positions. That so no hot spots develop within the cowl.
Here is the Fokker that the little LA's are for thats nearing completion. There are no fuselage pushrods, the elevator and rudder are operated on external pull/pull as in the full scale.
Keep the thoughts coming guys this is good stuff, its great that we seem to have attracted many of the experianced multi enthusiast here at RCU but you new timers out there please don,t be shy lets hear your thoughts and experiances also. Of course pictures too (smoke'em if ya got em')
