Hi,

Anyone have any photos of how you mounted the fuel tank in this model ?
Or how you plan to ?

Hallo,

yesterday i have received my Carbon/Kevlar Kit.
(As you can see in Posting #186, i was not happy with the delivered Standart Kit Components in October last year...)
But now, the quality of this kit is really excellent!

Here are the weights out of the box:
Fuse 600g
Canopy bottom 99g
Cowl 53g
Wing R 224g
Wing L 234g
Carbon Wing Tube 45g
Tube 23g
Stabilizer R 42g
Stabilizer L 41g
Rudder 21g
T-Canalizer 33g
wheel pants L+R 26g
Spinner 80mm 30g

And the surface of the fuse is very smooth :-))

Hi, we have NEW prices for the Osmose ARF, ARC and KITS. We have few in Stock www.netboxhobby.com

My fiberglass fuselage weighted 840 grams!!!! Completed plane (OS140RX power) is about 4.900 grams though...

hi aresti~ that weight seems a little high. When did you get your kit? Where did you get the plane?
thx Jim

It was one of the first production kits, around August or September. I got it straight from CAMODEL. First flights were conducted last week. I had to remove the canalizer to tame the plane down. I guess the canopy frame flexed a little bit. I only fly advanced but power seems OK with the 140 RX. I am getting ready a new OS160FX with perry pump and Webra pipe just in case.

propnuter,
lay out of tanks.

I am planning to re-motor my Osmose from the current OS 1400 to YS 170. Anybody knows what Hatori header I could use (high rise 823 or standard 822)?

Both works fine, but the high rise is better

Hallo,

do you have some detailed weights of the "Deluxe Version Components" out of the box?

Wolfgang

Luizhino should be able to get this info for you, don't have the recorded values, but the weights are very close to be the same as the covered version, I have both.

Thanks!

have already written an email to luizhino.

Hi,
Anyone can recommend on HATORY header and HATORY muffler for the YS 170 on the OSMOSE?
Any risk using the short muffler HATORY #725?

Hi,

I used the 821 muffler with 822 header, even being the lower one, it gets perfect with the Nishioka one twouc muffler base, as it sits higher than the engine.
I don't know the 725 header, but 822 and 823 are built for the 821 muffler, if you can provide more info , I could suggest something perhaps.

Hi apereira,
Thanks for the info. The reason that I want to use the #725 muffler is to avoid the opening toward the fuselage. Central Hobbies advertise that the #725t suits the YS 170, so what would be the difference Power? Noise?

I see, power will not be the issue, as the four strokes are not affected by the supercharging effects of pipes as the bouncing shock wave will find the exaust valve closed, so maybe noise could be the main difference, but the longer pipe, I think, it will make the engine run cooler, as all the hot gasses has more are to dissipate heat on the longer muffler.

I personally feel the engine at full power discharges a lot gases/pressure, on my install I see the pipe moving back on the header around 1/4", but I also understand the fact you dont want to open the fuselage.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but I see you have two aligned bolts to support the landing gears, am I correct?

Regards

Hi, Thanks for the info. I also verified with Central Hobbies and they recommend the longer muffler. As for the landing gear bolts I use only two for each landing gear, as the rear bolt is almost not functional in landing, but my whole landing gear reinforcement is different. It is the way Issac done in his electric version. We believe this reinforcement is stronger.

Regards

Remember the gear is swept back, and with only two bolts, the gear will most likely crack in the middle due to uneven forces applied to not supported edges, and if for some reason you happen to have a rough landing or run into tall grass,it will for surecause damage, try to flex the gear by hand to verify, just keep it in mind.

Regards

thanks, I will verify once more
