Will the EU1-A perform with an O.S. Max Surpass 91 four stroke? Also,if you change to fuselage mounted gear,will it still be classic legal?

Maybe 3 1/2" wheels to keep it from nosing over?

You need to get a hold of Don (Frequent Flyer) http://www.rcuniverse.com/community/...=1&memid=48770
Does Don have a website? Has anyone gotten a fuse from him yet?

If anyone just wants a fuselage only, send me an email at [email protected]. My customers, ( and the guys on the waiting list) wanted complete kits and that is what they are going to get. They guys on the list will be emailed shortly as to when their kit(s) will be ready. The kits will be made from the original Aero Composites molds. Pictures to come shortly.

Dan,
Any pictures yet? Have you or are you going to build one to "proof" the kit for fit and weight?

I'm going to build one for electric actually.. None of my local fields will tolerate how an EU-1A SHOULD sound.. Rossi .61 on a tuned pipe turning a Rev-Up 11 x 7 3/4 at 16k.

Doug, come on down to our field (Off of Dairy Mart rd) I fly my XLT with a piped YS down there. Did you fly at the old field on Monument rd before?

I just read through the thread tonight, so I'm catching up a bit. The dialog on page 5 interested me most to the point it could be it's own thread if it's not already.

For those of us that flew pattern in the seventies and eighties, well that must be all of us contributing to "Classic Pattern", the radios of today provide a difference from the good ol' days that's obvious.

I remember digging through the box of Kraft servos searching for the one with the magic dot that indicated reverse throw. Differential, exponential, mixing and retracting the gear was done with thumbs and fingers. I'm one of the die hards that spent 30 eBay bucks on a Goldberg retract servo system a couple weeks ago to put in a Royal Marutaka Aquarius I hope to build some day. Why? Because it's stupid hard compared to what we do today. Run a micro switch off the throttle servo and use the throttle trim to retract the gear. Now that's stupid. Back then, it was brilliant.

I say we start a revolution. All we need to do is alter the modern day pattern rules to award more points for take off and landing if you have retracts. More work. We start showing up at F3A events and take over.

Who's in?

how about even more points if you fly with a radio with just trim switches?

Yeah.. I used to fly at the old Chula Vista field a long time ago back when the Border Classic Pattern Contest was held every year.

I have a kit from Dan on order and am thinking about doing the anhedral stab. Looking for info on setting it up: how much angle/degree's etc


Thanks

Bill, I was thinking that very thing the other night. Just go back to the old pre turn around rules and watch the planes go back to the BPA style designs. I do love ALL the old stuff, but I would love to see some newer designs purpose built for the same flying sequencethe old ones were.
I have to admit... I am hooked on the new radios and tiny powerful servos
