Mike, congrats on the model!

Superb!

Mike it looks great!
I have one also but it has been one of those planes that fights me all the way so its going to have to fly without the spinner before I put anymore time or $$$ into it. but yours makes me want to get it out again

Joe

What are you planning on for CG?

Thanks guys for the thumbs up
Dave yes the legs are longer, I moved the retracts closer to the fuselage, the longer legs and bigger wheels gives just over 50mm- 2'' more in length

Mike

I have the center of gravity at 108mm with the spinner. will have to check again without the cone. it has flown great when it flys just very cantankerous between the car and the flight line.

108mm is a good cg. Was just checking.

Got around to pulling the pilot out and giving him a coat of paint, he comes more or less unpainted

Very Nice indeed.

Hey Guys,
I have not been on here in a while.
I do have canopies available for this plane. Just pull a couple this afternoon.

Ty makes GREAT stuff!
 

Hi Ty! Long time, no see, sir! I don't mean to high-jack this thread, but everybody should know how wonderful your products really are! I'm starting work on my ESM JU-87B Stuka, now that I'm "retired!" Would you happen to have any parts for it, other than your FANTASTIC cockpit kit and canopies that I already have? Your parts are so much better than the brittle OEM arf parts (many already cracked when I got them!) that came with the plane! I'm looking for a 4 1/2 inch 3-blade spinner, and some shock-absorbing struts, if you (or any of our friends!) might know where I can find them! Sorry for being "off topic", but Ty's parts really are that good! Blue Skies, Blair

Hello all,

Does any of you have the manual in .PDF? I am getting ready to put miune toguether but I am not sure if I have everything toghether as I moved and everything went in different places.

Thank you in advance

I have the .pdf but can't seem to get them to upload. I will keep trying, or can send them to your email.

Post pics of your build.
-Tim

I can't upload after several tries. I sent you an email to your inbox.

Hi,
Thank you very much!

I will post the pictures, but it will be in September as I am leaving on a work trip and come back in August.

Thank you again..

Well after plenty of delays and other builds sneaking in my 109 is finally on the build table.

Will post some pics of the progress as it occurs.

What servos have people used on this build so far?

Thanks

Dave

Hey Dave, I'm on a long break, I have one of these NIB and a Fokke 1/5 E4, wondering which one to start on? Got a few other big projects going as well.

Hello all ..... Just picked up a used CMP 109 (empty) and of course am looking for a aftermarket spinner.
As far as i know fliteskin is the only option at this point in time with their beautiful highly crafted carbon fiber unit but at $150 price tag hard to justify for this project.
Wondered if anyone might have anything available .... either new or used would be OK .. and so, please PM me with what you have. Kind Regards. Baron

Good luck! Not too many outfits making custom spinners these days. Gene Barton retired. Fliteskin used to offer an aluminum one for $99, perfect size, and what I have on mine. This guy makes custom spinners but they are pricey; https://www.tag-model-spinners.com/spinner/

Here's one on Ebay that's close in size; https://www.ebay.com/itm/Giant-1-5-s...4383.l4275.c10

Thanks WWIIP38 ... (a little luck sure wouldn't hurt) and am already aware of Tag Models .. as mentioned very pricey!
Yeah I've checked around .. Ty no longer makes his 109 spinner, same with Dave Platt and as you said Gene Barton is retired. Yes i spotted Prekin's very nice sensibly priced spinner too at $56 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Giant-1-5-s...IAAOSwggJe90uG unfortunately, at 150mm it's simply too large .........
Nonetheless someone out there has something kicking around and so, im hoping i'll here from them. Regards. Baron

A local guy to me has started making a spinners for the CMPro 109.

Home

its not on his website but if you send Russ an email you get the info. He spins the dome and it will be a machined backplate.
He has one of the original kit spinners to copy the shape

thanks

dave

Thanks and i appreciate the thought Dave .... but shipping from Oz for that size parcel has be at least $50-60 alone, not to mention his cost but i'll check it out and am happy to share any info or photos i receive ... After all, at this point in time, any new CMP spinner source is helpful no matter where!
.... Meanwhile im still looking ..........

$50-60???? He’s not shipping it from the moon! And the box would be pretty small to fit a spinner.

russ sells spinners to the US all the time. I recommend you ask him first instead of guessing. Plus with the exchanger are the way it is it will work out far more favorably for you

Well ,,, I just purchased a OS 91 intake manifold there and shipping was $23 .. my guess was based on that ... Anyway i've already sent a email to him so will get the whole story soon enough.
