Hy ,

Now i put a rear servo and a 90 OS 4 stroke engine, thees Epsilon isn´t mine, i build for a friend, and he want like thees.
An other change i only cut the rudder, i dont get out the peace of 1/2" of foam and i add 1/4" balsa for the hinge on the fuselage side.
On the front under part , Between the cowling and the belo. i don used the balsa of the kit. I put a " door " for the screws of the landing gear and with balsa i close the " under part " of the fuel tank.
I add a little more thrust for the right side. (like the cowling.)

IT´S SO DIFFICULT FOR ME TALK IN ENGLISH[:@] BUT I LIKE

Here som pictures.

Sergio

more pictures

How is it with the OS 90 FS and does it balance right with the servo at the back?

it´s a os 91 surpas

and for the cg i play with the bateries,

On mine i put the bateries at most rear i can (with the servo on the kit position), and in the last fly a put a nut with scotch under the tail. (CG+- 42%) with the fuel tank front. I want to move my fuel tank for the center with a perry pump.

I "try" to fly 3D

Sergio

Do you have a pic of the landing gear mod?

on mine E. here I put a " door " (tapa) with 4 screws and i can get out the landing gear when I want.

I still haven't figured out the best way to attach the landing gear. I was hoping your pic would help.
thanks, Tom

EL ****CANO,

Thanks for the pics and explanations. Much appreciated.

What is the all up weight ?

Do you know the weight of your airframe alone ? (i.e without any equipment like engine or servos , battery etc.)

Also I need to ask all epsilon owners what is the best CG location for the aircraft (pattern setup) ? and also 3d setup ?

Please tell in inches ... from the CG point ... tail heavy or nose heavy.

Thanks,
UBY.

UBY

the weight of the plane without servos, bateries .............
only wood 1,3 kgs 2,86 lb

and for the CG i ask to CAMODEL and they tell:
the wing have 39 cmts (15.35" ) well, the CG side to the fuselage it´s betwing 11,7 cmts (4,6" ) and 13,7 cmts (5,39" )

i used with 15,5 (6,10" ) it´s about +- 40%, with thees i "try" to do 3D

Sergio:

Acabo de ver una pelÃ*cula de Ernesto "El Ché" Guevara llamada "EL DIARIO DE UN MOTOCICLISTA" con un actor mexicano llamado Gael GarcÃ*a, y en una parte de la filmación es en ****co, Chile que fué donde se supone que en la vida real el Ché Guevara se tomó una foto con su amigo Argentino ahÃ*(1952) diciendo que eran unos doctores muy competentes de la Argentina!,

No has visto la pelÃ*cula??

SALUDOS desde México!!

ERDEL

NO HE VISTO LA PELICULA YA QUE EN CHILE A ESTA PERSONA SE LE RELACIONA CON UNA ETAPA E IDEOLOGIA QUE NO COMPARTO, PERO SI HE LEIDO TODOS LOS FOROS DE AEROMODELISMO EN QUE TU OPINAS, LOS QUE SIN DUDA ME AGRADAN MUCHO, Y ESPERO SEGUIR COMPARTIENDO.

SORRY GUYS FOR THE SPANISH

SERGIO

Sergio:

No te preocupes!, a mi tampoco me interesa la vida de el, lo que me imresiono fue la escenografÃ*a y CHILE está precioso! y al ver la pelÃ*cula me acordé de tÃ* por que hemos platicado anteriormente en el RCUNIVERSE.
Precisamente mi esposa y yo tenemos planeado ir pronto a CHILE de vacaciones porque dicen que es hermoso.

Sorry for the SPANISH!!

Have a nice weekend everybody!

SALUDOS!

Erdel

Cuando vengas y si pasas por ****co, no dudes en llamarme. mi celular es 09-7794412

o el directo a mi trabajo 45-951120

Sergio

I think there is about to be another "sorry fellas" about the Spanish. [:@]

ERDEL o EL ****CANO (o los ambos),

Hay un(os) foro(s) de aeromodelisimo donde se habla espanol exclusivamente. Ahora, estoy contento con el nivel de gramatica que tengo (se que probablamente hay problemas con lo, y no tengo un teclado de espanol (oi que los se vende) y soy demasiado perezoso para teclar eso en MS Word para poner las tildas), pero una cosa que me molesta mucho es el facto que pienso que mi vocabulario no es tanto bueno como puede ser. Con cada oportunidad que tengo, trato de hablar espanol para obtener mas vocabulario y ser mas comodo con los dialectos diferentes. Quiero aprender mas palabras acerca de aviacion porque es mi vida, habia volando desde era muy pequito nino es todo en que pienso.

Con respeto a Chile, estuvo hablando con Quique Somenzini y el me dijo que cuando se regresan a Chile (ir de vacaciones), puedo ir con ellos. Me gustaria ir, de que el me ha dicho y de que he oido, Chile es un pais muy fabuloso!

Again, sorry about that guys...

Acroman:

I just want to congratolate you for your spanish, is VERY GOOD!!! when ever you want i can help you to practice your spanish, i am going to give you my personal e-mail so you can write me there in spanish.

****CO: You too can write me there every time you want to share something in spanish and that way we are not going to have problems with other people who doesn´t speak spanish in this FORUM.

IF ANYONE KNOW THE GOOD FORM TO DO ?????????

SERGIO

****cano, como estai, vivia en ****co. Ahora estoy en el norte de Argentina y extraño el paisage de los volcanes. Llama, Villarica, y los otros.

En el año que viene quiero comprar un epsilon y estoy muy interesado y tu avion. Me parece un avion muy bacaan Tengo mil preguntas.

Arme un Funky de un kit y me salio mas o menos. Me gusta monokotear pero para armar no lo hago bien. Estoy pensando en comprar un ARC. Aqui un ARC sale $70 mas. Quiero un avion que vuele bien y si yo lo armo no se come va a salir[&o]

¿Que opinas?

Aprendi a volar en Santiago y volaba alla. ¿Donde estan volando en ****co?

Acroman I have been trying to learn a lot of the aviation terms in spanish too because I fly with all spanish speakers. I will look up the word on the internet than try to use it only to find out that they use the english word. words like flutter, harrier, looping, cowl, etc

Its kind of funny CA models is real popular here... of course. Here they pronounce Widebody weed-eh-bohdy and the funky 40 is fuhn-key. Now thats how I say it even if I am saying the name to an English speaker.

But its great to be able to pick up a Fuhn-key kit for $70!!!!
Although here in Argentina a 90 FX will run you over $300

GRINGO VOLADOR

estoy tratando de mejorar el ingles , por lo tanto..........

Don´t be afraid to build, it´s very easy and alwais are somebody near you to help, the intructions seems few but you don´t need more.

We are flying on "cajon" , do you remember "cajon" when you go to the north by Caupolican.
here are about 5 flying friends and other 5 have plane go look but don´t fly.[&:] . Thes weekend if don´t rain, we "inaguraremos" the second Epsilon i build, thats it´s for a friend, i try to take a picture with the 2 Epsilon flying .

Sergio

Sergio hope you get to fly the plane this weeked. It must be frustrating missing so many flying days because of all the rain down there.

I have a theory on ****co. Every day in ****co is either extremely ugly, with lots of rain, clouds, wind, or it si extremely gorgeous no clouds, beautiful sky, etc. There are no days in between.

What servos are you using? I have a set of Futaba 3151 digitals. I would like to use digital servos for the precision but dont know if standard servos are enough. I lpan on putting a Super Tigre 90 in it.

Also, I dont know if you heard but here in Argentina a company called Snorer just starting producing a motor .49. Here it will be about $250 pesos, in the $80 dollar range. Not a bad deal here. Dont remember how much engines cost in Chile, but you guys might be able to buy a TT pro or OS for that much in Mirax.

Gringo

you have a good remember of ****co rain - sun - rain - sun - rain - rain - rain - rain....

i´m using Servos Hitec HS 475 HB it´s low cost, and " i think " now i don´t need more, i never fly very fast, al contrario, i fly 1/2 throtel and do my aerobatics or try to do, but when the Epsilon is on vertical wwoooooommmm full throtel and go up........

About the engines a T.T. pro .46 is +-US$125.- and a S.T. G90 +- US$180.- a Epsilon +- US$ 196.--.

Estoy encendiendo velitas para ver si el fin de semana con 3 dÃ*as feriados, puedo volar
