no idea i will weigh the canopy tonight.

I have weighed the carbon canopy it weighs 3 0z.

Thanks Luke, either of those pipes will do me... the cooling pipe seems to be the easier fit!

Quiet mount coming from Weston, then ready to start the build at last!

Steve

Thanks, I think I'll be getting one of them then, the standard one is about 8oz.

the stanadrd is 200 grams? no way!

Yup. It is BIG

Just make sure they don't try and give you the one I sent back!!!

Regards,

Steve

ORIGINAL:Sprink

the standard one is about 8oz.

Wow that is a big weight difference.

Steve,

Which quiet mount have you bought? Is it the one with the rubbers mounted in the ali?

If so I bought the same mount for my Saito 180 and was told by several people on here that it is not man enough for the job. Its a pain I know but I felt I had to listen to the experts

I'm now using a Dubro soft mount which is the same price and seems to be much stronger.

Simon

Colin,

Thanks for the tip, yes the quiet mount is that one for 120 size .
I did wonder about it...,but when it arrives i'll put it into stock and get the Dubro!

I feel like i'm asking too many questions sometimes!!

Look what happens when I use my initiative![&:][&:]

Regards,

Steve

The Dubro one is very heavy, get the Gator Soft n Safe (Probuild, and maybe IH sell them). Still not as light as the Hyde or ZN ones, but better than the Dubro for the same price.

Ordered Canopy and new Spats from Carbon Copy. Will check the quality when they arrive in detail, for that amount of money I expect a good product. Also ordered the fun fly UC, to try to retro fit to my Wildstyle.

Heres a sneak preview! Cowl needs painting and right wing isnt finished. Also needs a clean

hmmm niiice

I like what you have done with those checkers[8D]

v nice [8D]

Original scheme Luke top job!

top job luke like the scheme its simular to your C50.I especialy like the bottom of the wing I think i might do that with metallic yellow and white and yellow chequers cause mine is just white on the bottom.

Thanks all,

Sprink, if youre interested in that colour match halfords have done me some Porsche POR IIV CADMIUMGELB for the profilm cadmium yellow. Seemed to match dead on at the shop now just going to try on the cowl.................

Cheers

V nice luke, like the wing tips and elevator tips. good job, but i ask, you covered it in yellow then put allt he trim on, whats its new AUW?

Dunno, but can counter any minor added weight by eventually getting a carbon canopy.

Just a report on that halfords custom colour match service- the paint match is excellent, and the spray cans the paint come in are way better than all the hobby aerosol stuff at the LHS. Think it would be ideal for yours Sprink. Still have to find out how the paint stands up to fuel though. Fingers crossed!!!!

in my view you will only be ok on the fuel front if it is the short term two pack in one can paint.

If it is not two pack then lacquer it.

remember too that high nitro eats !

One of our guys here used the two pack in one on his and it does work

My capiche is coming on great guys, but what a naff stag night. HOw's eveyone grtting on with their planes.(c140)

2 in the morning on your stag night!! you should be on some old Ho stiring the porridge me old fruit

i suppose we will get a reply on your wedding day [sm=bananahead.gif]
