Default RE: Poulan 33 cc conversion

Thanks for the reply. I heard that about the 46s. My 33 has a nice clean set-up except for the ignition. My first SPAD was a success after about 6 years of not flying. I found a piece of round PVC on the side of the road and figured it would make a good fuse for my Super Tigre .61. It took about 10 test flights to get that ugly thing flying but it is my favorite right now. I used a 1 1/14 inch round rigid PVC I had lying around for the spar. I just had to fill in the ends with foam because it sounded like an A-10 on a gun run when I cranked up the speed. It made a nice symetrical wing and glued nice. I just had to stack some coro under the trailing edge to get the incidence right. My wife contributed to the project with a hairspray bottle that fit perfect into the fuse. She(the plane) is heavy but flies nice. I learned alot building this bird. I priced a PVC fence post for about $8 at Lowes for this 33cc. I'll post my progress.
