Ok guys I'm lookin for Coroplast that plastic corugatted cardbord (sp?) just wondering where to find it free.

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

Barron, I think campaign signs are made from that stuff. Just wait till the next election, find the candidate you don't like, and help yourself!!!

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

Baron
Im sure if you found a sign shop they would give away any mistakes.
also it really isnt that expensive to begin with.
I have a piece here, if you want drive over to the door peninsula I will drive over to Manistee walk out on the pier and throw it over to you can you catch?

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

Barron, Isn't the group on this side of Lake Michigan helpful?

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

Yes VERY helpful I love ya guys. The next election is too far away need it to make skis.

25 today NO wind I be flyin' :D com'on over the lake is frozen but I ant doin the Cub yet.

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

Well Barron, it's 28 and no wind here. The only trouble is, as usual, it's snowing a little bit. The sky is pretty low.

How are you getting away to fly? I had to go shopping with my wife. I did manage to search for some pilots for my WWII birds, but didn't find any.

Barron, Bill, Elad, Sincraft, Snoop, Gary, and all, Have a very nice Christmas holiday!!!

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

Hi guys,

It's been a while. Wow there's 3 pages since I last logged on.

I thought I'd better drop in long enough to wish y'all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I'll have to ketchup on the reading later. All my family is down here for a few days. Most live close by, but #2 son and granddaughter are here from Dallas, about 300 miles to my West.

Good luck with all the projects.

See ya later,
elaD

ps. Good morning crum tomp. I see yer logged on here too. I better run.

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

Merry Christmas, Dale!!!

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

Merry Christmas to all, al may the blessings of the Lord be upon you both now and in the coming year.

Bill.

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

And Merry Christmas to you, Bill.

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

Merry Christmas to all but Bill.. :D just kidding.

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

Same tou you, Barron.

Bill might be interested to know that I just came in from blowing a coiple of inches of snow from my driveway. Four inches predicted by afternoon. 14mph winds with a wind chill of 20, so it's not too bad.

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

Who knows what Bill's interested in.
Me got the Taube today, me lucky eh?
Got a pic of my currently flying fleet. That Fokker is my baby. Oops forgot the Combatwing. [X(]

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

Barron, Nice set of airplanes!!! If I had a camera, I'd show ya mine. I may have posted this pic earlier, but here's four of mine.

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

Ahhh the Fokker D-8 I know someone in my club building one he's really into scale....like us.

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

Barron, Most of my stuff is sport scale. The only "scale" airplane is the Stinson. I just like my planes to look "real" when I fly them. Sometimes I find a grin on my face when I pull off a scale takeoff or grease in a landing. The first time I flew the Stinson, I forgot what I was doing. I just went braindead as I was just standin there, watching it fly. The guy standing next to me had to bring me back to reality. It was just so cool, listening to the Saito 300 putt putting and watching that big bird slowly fly by. It was never in any danger. I was just lost in the wonder of it all.

Here's a few more pics of it. If you want to see more, go to rcscalebuilder.com Look in the main gallery. There's 7 or 8 pics in there.

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

Ya not every one has the money or time to make a complete scale plane.
Someone at my club built the Stinson Model O. It was beautiful.

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

Barron, I went down to Don's today. As usual, all the trouble I was having was nothing major.

I couldn't get the angle of my retracts right, Don looked at it and figured out the gear legs were transposed. Took each leg off and put it on the other and it was fixed!!!. Took five minutes.

Then he helped hinge and fit my flaps. I didn't see how the Robart door hinges would fit into the wing, but Don got 'em in there. Pics are in rcscalebuilder, Other Kits, Holman D9. I'd post them here, but they are in Don's computer and he hasn't sent them to me yet.

I'm SOOO happy to be moving along on the Focke Wulf again!!! This is one of my favorite airplanes and I haven't had one in 4 or 5 years. Really looking forward to it.

I didn't get any airplane stuff for Christmas, but I did get money. Been looking at the Pica 1/6 WACO bipe. I NEED a bipe and it would be a change from the warbirds, especially German warbirds, that I've been building for the last few years.

Now you have to get building your German warbird. It'd be cool if we could get together and fly our German WWI fighters together!!! We could go Spad hunting!!!

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

I forgot. Here's a pic of my first D9. Pica kit, OS 91 4stroke.

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

Spad hunting???? There is a guy in my club that builds Sopwiths these would be better to hunt.

Stay with the German planes no bipes.

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

Barron, I have a Me 109 G6, a Focke Wulf 190 D9, a soon to be built JU 87B anf a Fokker DVIII. I feel like I need a change of pace.

Besides warbirds, I love the classic planes of the 30's. I've neglected this area for around four years. Besides I NEED a bipe!!! Having said this, I still haven't ordered it.

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

Ok stay within the time frame of the two wars. The Taube is Pre-WWI to Early-WWI.
Get that Junker built.
The WACO is fine or a Stearman.

Still lookin for coroplast.

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

A few years ago, a guy in my club decided he didn't like his OS 91 4 stroke. I asked what he wanted for it. He said, "Nothing", and gave it to me. I figure the WACO would be a good place to put it. If, for some reason, it doesn't run well, I still have a good one to put in it.


I like Stearmans, too. Don just sold a Sterling Stearman. I wish I would've known he was going to sell it. I would've bought it.

The WACO will be just fine. I like it's looks and if it flies like the Pica 1/5 scale, it'll be a good flier.

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

I wonder where dale has gotten to
I would like to tell him that I got a tiger 60 for xmas
sure would be nice to put a four stroke in it
I wonder what slim crunch got for xmas
probably a eagle arf back on topic now we would not want bill to throw us off

RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
 

Don and all:

e have to keep some rc oin it.

Santa disappointed me, but I knew in November that he would. And now the production date for my new rtadials has been put back to April or May of next year. Another delay I'll say forget it and buy a pair of Saito radials. BUT I WANT SEVEN CYLINDER ENGINES!!!

Bill.
