Default ICS Robin Hodd

I've recently acquired an 80" Robin Hood built from a kit from ICS. Does anyone have a web site address , a mailing address, or phone number for ICS? I can't find any information about them going through conventional search methods.

I've heard from several sources that ISC went out of business years ago. I have an 80" Robinhood made from ISC plans; if you have any questions, let me know.

Great flying plane. One of the guys in our club has one powered with a weedeater engine.. Easy starting and powered right. Floater and nice flier. IT is the same plane / kit you have.. Jim

Thanks everyone for your information about ICS and its Robin Hood. Mine is ready to fly with a new G26. Hopefully, our weather here in central North Carolina will improve this week. Thanks again.

Help, I bought a Robin 80 at Joe Nall, am not sure where the CG is. I tried the main spar and it appears tail heavy, but two servos are already all the way back aft. power is H.B. 65. thanks

Don't know what to tell you Spook...CG at the spar worked for me. Although , My servos were in the cabin area.

Mine is powered by a OS 91 Surpass II and is covered with SolarTex

It is balanced on the spar. Servos in the cabin and more or less the set up was copied from Ugo's plane after he posted in the Internet

Not that I know of.

All the half dozen or so Robinhoods that I'm aware of besides Ugo's were made from scratch in different sizes from the same set of Robinhodd 99 plans including mine. I also have a 99 that was built from a kit.

The OS 91 Surpass is way too much power for my Robinhood 80.

I have a frind with a scratch built Magnum 61FS in a scaled down 70 and a Saito 30 in a 50 (overpowered) and he has a friend with a 70 and an electric 50. I have two other friends with 99's

Here is a picture of a scratch builr 70 from NC and I think it has a Magnum 52 four stroke.
