My favorite "spur of the moment math" equations are the ones that compare how much 17 trillion dollar bills represents in physical proportions.

2000 engines is hard to fathom. Depending on their average size, he might have 4000 HP at his finger tips....or $10,000 worth of glow plugs that need to be changed right now....

Lomcevak Duck What aircraft did you have for the OS 120 SP in or is it like mine never seen fuel . One day when I get older I would like to build a model that they powered . That one is on the bucket list. I am going to run her before I die . Did dream of a Twin project with them up front not hard I have one aircraft finished and flown that would take them.

Well, I actually have two now. One I run on a test stand for grins and gigs. I have an Ultrasport 1000 kit that I'm thinking about building for it. It's in that "eventually" file.

The other is NIB and it's for sale in the RCU marketplace right now.

I try to stop acquiring engines.. but..

Last night I drove to a buddy's house to deliver his birthday gift (a Hobbyking Pulsejet, he was "quite delighted") and he dragged me into the shop and said "I'll never run these, they need a good home.."

NIB OS .15 FP
AME .061 FF/CL
AME .061 R/C with tank mount
Dragonfly .049

1 engine out, 4 engines in - keep this up I'll hit 2000 yet.

I have one already, I'm all set. When I ordered his, the already crazy low $99 price tag was reduced to $87-something. That's for the engine, high tension starter, spare reeds, and mount hardware.

The LHS price tag on the OS .15 is $95.00. I came out rosy.

The HK Redhead Demon (Fartin' Martin? Toots?) prototype will hit the bench soon.

Default The twin texan

Now this is what's in the shed and to make it a little more impressive two SP would do the trick. I like having things that no one else has. This last flew 2 years ago. A mate of mine is on the sticks Its mine I built it ,but he flies it (I lack the skills) Well I put it together as its 2 ARF with a few more parts It had 3 flights in total and as you can see it flies on one engine OK Power on this one is 2 X OS 120 AXs Wing span is 2-7 meters. One big machine to get to the field
With only a few minutes it can be put back as designed by Seagull and fly as a single as long as you bring along the two extra wings it has elec retracts operating on two channels so you can take of on two wheels and land on 4

I'm hesitant to sell through a discussion thread (against the rules I think) but since you asked about it, here is the link to the RCU marketplace ad: http://www.rcuniverse.com/market/ite...itemID=1021493

By the way, those are really neat twins in your post above.

Whoosh.. over my head! I get you now. Luckily my 1/2A drawer is not quite full, it will hold a few more. I had to make room for the .15 though. I'm tickled I got that, I have a .15 bipe to prototype and it is the perfect engine - just a really good mannered sport engine.

Sorry, I did overlook that post.

f16man is correct. A lomcevak (sometimes spelled lomcovak) is an aerobatic maneuver where the plane tumbles end over end. A "lomcevak duck" is what people on the ground do when a pilot attempts a new maneuver for the first time and people in the pits "duck" or run to get out of the way.

Usage: "Pete tried a new 3D maneuver, but ended up losing the plane in the pits. We all did the lomcevak duck and scattered before his plane hit my truck."

My avatar is a duck tumbling end-over-end that I drew while pretending to pay attention in a music appreciation class a little more than a decade ago.

I had notebooks that literally stared falling apart from all the doodle ink on the coves and everywhere else. Even classes I liked.

Now I know about the Lomcevak Duck, it is not actually a duck doing a Lomcevak.. though it could be if it happened.

Thanks. I'm not skilled at drawing- I think it was just that I had reached critical boredom while discussing Handel's cantatas that I found the only artistic flares I've ever known.
