Thanks. What's the size of the Platt spinner.... Are the slots cut for the prop? Is it close to the one in the Bf-109 kit?,

Slots are NOT cut for a prop. However, if you emailed him and ask if he'd do it for you, he might, I dont know. I had a friend do it for mine. The Platt spinner is a true to scale shape.

RE: CMP BF109F BUILDING THREAD
The DLE 30 has more then enough power for this plane. will it fit in the cowl completely? Well....probably not.
Experten is doing a bash on this plane and hes using a DLE20 and got it to fit completely, however, the DLE30 may not.
See his thread here for pics showing the motor clreanance:

RE: CMP BF109F BUILDING THREAD
Here is a youtube video of a custom 1/5 scale me-109 designed and built in Finland. There is a shaft extention on the motor allowing the head of the motor to be in the lower chin scoop. The designer built a 1/5 scale version and a 1/4 scale. I believe if my eyes are correct this is the 1/5 scale. I owned one of his handful of kits way back in the 90's but due to work never got to finish it and sold it( much regrets) . Anyhow I have two cmp's on the go in the shop.

You can use any paint, testors, krylon, it doesn't matter. Coat over the paint with minwax matte finish polyurethane (in the spray can, NOT the water based). I also used the minwax to put a coating over the decals I added, it matches the stock finish very well and holds up better than anything in glow fuel. For Gas power, I can't say how it would do.

RE: CMP BF109F BUILDING THREAD
Looks great. What type of engine are you using? I'm thinking about using a OS 1.60 2 stroke. Also, are the throws correct in the manual? Are you mixing in any elevator when deploying the flaps?,
Thanks, Messer

OS 1.60 with an APC 17X10 prop. It's been a few years, so I'm not sure about the throws. I believe the recommended throws are OK as a starting point. I don't mix any elevator in with the flaps. Once I go above half flaps they function as air brakes to help slow the plane, something it needs with a 10 pitch prop. The high pitch prop allows me to cruse around at half throttle (over 100 mph) to save fuel because I have the stock fuel tank.
