AMA has the Dragon FLi plans. They are from the old Pond plans http://www.modelaircraft.org/files/p...fs/d-plans.pdf Dragon-Fli

Great flyer but Kraft really never flew it that much! He moved on to other designs and of course full scale flying.

you can also simply take the digital file on a USB memory key to your local Kinko's and have them run a couple of printouts. I think it'll cost you a little less. My Kinko's charges $1/sq ft. for B&W 36' max width line art.

Hey John! I didn't get to speak to you, but I saw you fondling that Hanno! Did you buy it? He told me $125 including the pipe. That's a decent deal. I bet you talked him down.[8D]
I saw a few things I wanted and ended up getting this NIB Kraft for $50. I wish it had the Kraft carb, but I love Perry carbs, too. I think it has the .270" throat barrel; I have a .312" barrel that I might swap with it after breaking it in. Interesting break-in procedure: run at 14,500 - 14,800 with a 10x6. This is along the same lines as what the Jett site recommends, i.e., a smaller prop running rich at the target rpm.
I don't know if Kraft ever used one of these in a Dragon Fli (when did the Kraft .61 come out?), but it would still be a cool engine for this plane. At any rate, I have an incentive to get the drawings and cut file finished.

David,
I was going to get that Hanno and pipe , but I've got too much "crap" already! Plus I have ( 4 ) rear exh.
O.S. 61's with pumps . Tell me what the diff. is. Other than the red anod. head..........timing? brgs.? crank?......
Also I have a "dry virgin" 61 YS in the box. What is that worth????????????
I'm really sorry we didn't get to talk, but next time. We have our first SPRA pylon race in Hudson on Sat. if you are interested.
thanks
