RE: Revver bretheren, post up pics of ur planes !
 

Cool idea...this should be a fun thread to follow....especially for inspiration!! This has been a pretty busy winter for this kid, the 'need for sport and speed' bug bit me in the fall and the result is 4 new projects.....after building many scale models, the change has been refreshing...now we just need some good weather to be able to do some flying!! [8D]

OK, so below are pics of these 4 projects (also posted in various areas of this forum):

1. Lanier Shrike 10, engine is a magnum .15 with a tuned pipe. Modifications include rotating the engine around to run the pipe under the belly and then making an integral fiberglass belly pan/shroud to protect the pipe. Finish is monokote and epoxy paint. Graphics by CustomCutGrafix.

2. ACM Whiplash. It's been painted but I still need to install the radio gear and mount the Jett FIRE 50. No modifications made. Finish is epoxy paint over testors enamel. Graphics by me.

3. Diamond Dust, built as stock basically. Modified the engine area slightly by raising the engine up 1/4" and adding a nose ring behind the spinner and fairing it in accordingly. This replaces my old Diamond Dust with a worn out K&B 6.5 RIRE...have a new identical engine for this new diamond dust. Finish is Ultracote. Graphics by CustomCutGrafix.

4. Scratch built from plans, a Microjet2. This 1/2A design has a stock Enya .09 shoehorned into it. Built basically per the plans, although some modifications were made to increase structural strength. Finish in monokote. Graphics by CustomCutGrafix.

Can't wait to fly these new birds!! Another new plane that I finished last year but haven't flown yet is a totally scrachbuilt DH Sea Hornet with twin HB 15's on it. Should sizzle as well. ;) I'll try and post some pics later of it....

RE: Revver bretheren, post up pics of ur planes !
 

Here's a picture of the lil hornet prior to installing the engines....I'll try and get some more current pics...

RE: Revver bretheren, post up pics of ur planes !
 

I have to install my old drive to get the rest of the pics. Here is what I have including the new Edge 540T powered by a YS63s.

The Pattern ship is Jett 90L powered and the 51 is YS110FZ powered.

Here's a Pic of my new Twister 3D style plane, not a speed plane but any means of the word, but it's new and shiny

RE: Revver bretheren, post up pics of ur planes !
 

This winter projects are

1) MIG29 by AK Models, New Evolution 1.00NX spinning a 14x6 MAS for max thrust for test flight then dropping down to a 12x12 APC for speed.. Mods done: added 1 1/2" to each wing tip and will use Flaperons. Total Dry weight 8.7

2) SU27 by AK Models, Power and props same as above. Mods done so far: Increased the elevators width at the tip by 3/4" with tapper to root, Added 3" to each wing tip ( not using missile rails ). will use Flaperons as well.

Quickies, and the Cessna 182 Geezer Special. :eek:

I can say Geezer with a smile....cause I are one. :)

Dave. :D

RE: Revver brethren, post up pics of ur planes !
 

Wow, you look happy Super-Dave! That GMS must be runnin' purty good---

I also see that you are using those black props. was the LHS out of APC's? :) JK

Great pics Dave!

Gary- How is the Rifle comin'?

RE: Revver bretheren, post up pics of ur planes !
 

Hey mustangace,

It looks like your kitty is about to tear into somebody with those claws ready! :) I wish my pets would defend my airplanes. I have a dog that FELL on two separate airplanes and both needed minor repairs. My airplanes are usually crashed before they're finished...

P.S. I don't have any really speedy planes but I'm planning on getting a patriot. Can I be a member of the revver brotherhood? Pleeeeezze??

RE: Revver bretheren, post up pics of ur planes !
 

LOL, You made my day [sm=tongue.gif]

RE: Revver brethren, post up pics of ur planes !
 

johntheroadie- Copy and paste the application form the Speed Freak Brotherhood thread and Flyboy Dave will issue you a number---

There are MANY Patriot fans in here :D (and yes, I capitalize the word Patriot- thats how much I love them!)

As to the dogs, I have 2 Irish Wolfhounds (Tallest breed of dog on the planet) and their tails are like a T-Rex! Gotta watch them all the time--:D

RE: Revver brethren, post up pics of ur planes !
 

Oh yeah- Blade-47 Nice Mig!

I really like both those AK russkies ;) Keep us posted on the flights and set-ups!

That Evo is supposed to be purty powerful, how was the CG?

RE: Revver brethren, post up pics of ur planes !
 

Busted Dust... :D

RE: Revver brethren, post up pics of ur planes !
 

Razor-RCU .. thanks for the complement!

I have edited my first post with the links to the MIG and SU build for all the info. Have a look its a good read.

RE: Revver brethren, post up pics of ur planes !
 

Well, until I find another Zip Drive (I blew mine up) , these will have to do:

One is my Royal Bearcat done up as Howard Pardue's Reno Racer "Bearcat", ST .90
The other is my BUSA Smoothie, Fox .46BB ABC. Believe it or not, it goes like a scalded cat. I've had to rebuild the wing twice to stop some flutter. It's quiet now and just flat hauls.

I'm trying to find others, but I KNOW my Holy Smoke and Patriot pics are on the Zip Disks. They are currently lounging in my garage in California so I can't take more pics of them at this time.

Whiplash #1 R.I.P. Was shot down K&B.40-aero cylinder torn from block, I still have the piston. These pics taken before maiden flight.


Whiplash #2 Jett FIRE.50 I flew the snot out of it with both rat and quiet pipes. It has been passed along to the buyer of my Laser Arrow.

RE: Revver brethren, post up pics of ur planes !
 

Whiplash #3 is an X model and is missing in action. It is (was) the yellow whip in the first two pictures. Jett sport 50

Whiplash #4 is an X model and has the Jett FIRE 50 from Whip #2 it was going to get a four stroke (SSBB Suck Squeeze Burn & Blow). But could not hold enough fuel. Painted purple with yellow flames. Topflight lustercoat is fuelproof but sprays poorly.

RE: Revver brethren, post up pics of ur planes !
 

How do you keep that stuff hidden from your wife? I get busted just looking at yours[X(].

RE: Revver brethren, post up pics of ur planes !
 

In case anyone thought I was a phony.[8D]

RE: Revver brethren, post up pics of ur planes !
 

Well, I had W-Y2k problem, the Wife in 2000 decided she wanted to fly solo from her own hangar. So I got the airport and dog and my freedom to spend as I choose. I found the Extreme Speed Planes fit in the trunk in The Vette I bought two years ago. Now I have a girlfriend who can assemble one on my jets! She bought a 1/4 scale Patty Wagstaff Extra 300 for my birthday and is learning to fly.

A new Magnum R CAME TODAY! and a Whiplash X is in the paint shop.
