Yeah , but wot fer

HERES THE PICS

I measured from the front of the wheel bulge. next to the fuselage.

THANKS thats what i thought , as I can now go ahead and put all the servos and batts in and not add any more weight , front or back thanks again , Ian , Down under

Something just occurred to me , the whole engine mount with the anti vibes adds to the nose weight an extra 7oz , so mine is less that weight , but the gasser weighs 36oz , so 26oz for a 91 4st plus 7oz for the mount = 33oz .

Thanks for the pics! plane looks great! i wanted to see how the gasser actually looks in it. now i'm wandering how it will fly with it. i have just about made up my mind on getting this plane and go gas with it.

Im wondering how it will go too.....probably straight up.....the 16" prop doesnt have a lot of ground clearance , so Im limited to this.....

Does anyone use different wheels , the elcheapo foam ones that come with it develop FLAT spots[:'(]

This one (VQ model) Flew well but didn't land or takeoff as well as our WM AT6. It had many tragic crashes for me and its next owner. With the big 26 you will have the gear rake in your favor to prevent noseovers, but watch out for springy leg porpoise syndrome.

that looks great , I like that colour sceme better ......yeah i think some 'greaserz' are called for

I used silicone adhesive to attach the gear doors plus the screws. Then my buddy "Grandma" points out that Harvards didn't have gear doors. Well, they have stayed put for many flights and I highly reccomend its use.

yeah , wilco...Ian

Got mine on eBay.

What from Jet-Tech models.....how much for freight???

Just wondering if you guys changed the wheels. I stilll have the foamies on it, but not sure if the retract will pull up a heavier wheel. The servo is the basic Hitec low profile retract.

Finding replacement wheels is hard , cause there only 3/4" thick......X 3" , If you find any , let me know

hey son
just checking to see if you have flown the plane yet with the gasser? i am wanting to put a g20 in one.

HOWDY
IVE GOT A CMP TEXAN 82" SPAN AND THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT CAME WITH IT SHOWS FROM THE LEADING EDGE OF THE WING,NOT THE AREA THAT HOUSES THE WHEELS.
HOPE THIS HELPS

yep Flys great with a 26cc "A" spec XYZ from U/hobbies , 16 x 8 SOAR Prop , CG worked out right on too

great to hear that! looks like theirs no way the cowl is going on. is there?

Yeah it will go on just wanted to sort the plane out first , see how it went , and then make a decision whether to stay with the gas engine or if it didnt work out , change to a 120 4st
waiting for a decent retract servo at this time , what servo is everyone else using ???

i use the jr 791 retract servo. its high but it works.

Thanks , thats a powerfull servo , what do you mean "high" ??

Hi,

I'm planning to convert one to electric, around 1100W or 1.47hp.
Does anybody noted that the cowl seems to be more "squary" than the VQ or H9 ones ?

Regards

What make engine did you use, and how was the test flight, do you know the final waight,

i have been looking for a nice texan for a while and i think i have found it.i just have 2 questions. 1st whats up with the balance? the rcu review said 1lb 10 oz in the nose with the os 91. the people in this thread maybe a cuople of ounces. maybe a misprint on rcu? 2nd how about a small gasser ? what kind of firewall mods and how cut up is the cowl ? any other help or concerns would be great! [8D] thanks
