Hi guys. I have a few U-Control planes that I built and flew when I was a kid. My problem is that I have misplaced the cables and don't remember the exact sizes and
lengths for each size of model. As I remember the larger models flew on 60 or 62 foot
cables. And the mid-size models (.15 to .19) flew on 40 somthing foot cables, I think.
I have a magician .15 and a p-40 warhawk .15 that my son recently discovered and
thinks he might want to fly them. I'm tickled that he has an interest in them, but I got
some funny looks at the local hobby shop when inquiring about C/L planes. I'm not to sure they even knew what I was talking about! Also, my motors do not have mufflers
on them. Can motors be retrofitted with mufflers? Most of my engines are probably at least 40 years old. Most of the fuels I looked at are synthetic or synthetic/castor oil blends. I recall using pure castor oil as lubricant, with 5 or 10% nitro. The fuels I saw at the hobby shop had 15-40% nitro. What do you guys fly with? Where can I buy some cables? Am I correct on the lengths of the cable?
Thanks for your help!
