advice for returning
 

First, thank you all !
It's been a WHILE since I last flew C.L(1978) however I spotted a Beutifull bird on "outerzone" the cougar(love cougars, own 2 cars by that name, and next RC will be SIG Kougar)
among my questions are about engines, plans call for . 19., Wondering about the K&B .18 or FOX .15, seems if I build w/o flaps the .15 may be a good choice (short tail moment). The biggest concern is tank size for either engine. I will be using RC style clunk type (round) so that I can keep it inside fuslage.
will post pic's of progress this eve.



P.S. the blue met. monokote is almost a perfect match to my currant FOMOCO driver!!!!!!

Pic's of fus. formers. and one very sexy car!http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=1942361http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=19423621988 Merc. Cougar/ 1950'ish CL cougar of British design

I built one. It flew it very nicely with CS Oliver 15 and Taipan 15 size diesels. I'll see if I can find a picture.

I would think a Fox 15 would be a little puny for a 45" stunter. Unless it's a later Schneurle ported version. Jim's 15 dieasels swing pretty big props with no drama.

Good luck with it and welcome back into the circle.

K&B18 will need 2oz tank to do full pattern, or 2.5oz to be on the safe side.

Greggles47: as I am just returning to the C.L arena I'm not going to be including flaps, just a sport plane for now, shoot never flew w/flaps as a kid anyway, Maybe after a while I'll build a bigger kit w/flaps and try my luck. Also fly in the r.c arena and ailerons are close enouph at this time(kinda have to have them)
Thanks for the input

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=1957835Well, started the wing, (point of no return,ha! ha! ) a few shots, kind of using what I've got to get it straight ,considering the only length of wood avail. locally is 36"

Here is a picture of a picture of my Cougar. I ran 9 x 5 props on those engines. First time to put a photo on under the new organization.

I'll watch along as you build. I was away from C/L myself for about 40 years and came back too. Started out flying arfs then moved on into a few builds. I dont know why it took me so long to get back ....Gene

That's a beauty Jim.

Beautiful plane, Jim, wondered which one it was and found it on Outerzone http://www.outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=2628

Love what it states:
Thanks for bringing back a part of history, and I imagine it will be a really nice flier, more than capable of the complete AMA pattern. Also looks like it would be an ideal candidate for my Enya .19-V CL engine. :cool:

Nice to read your next rc will be a SIG Kougar. I love those birds. Built four of them in total, first one in the early 80's. Here's a pix of my most recent SIG Kougar in 2013.

Keep us posted on how your SIG Kougar build progresses :)
