While I don't think that Ultracote is total crap, it sure isn't the quality product the older Monokote was. Monokote was truly a great product and I still have a number of planes covered with the...

The easiest way would be to provide a few good photos here and someone could ID it. Lacking that, the 61 has DLE61 cast in the housing just above the carb. I'm not sure about the 55 but there are...

There were two versions of the 30. The first was only made for a short time and it had the carb off to the side of the rear housing. That was about 2010 or so and they were only produced a short...

Looking very good. You are one prolific builder! I like your bright color schemes. Your Integra reminds me of a scratch built plane I made several of back in 1972 or so. It looked almost identical to...

Unless you are lucky enough to find someone who has the parts or has an old airframe, I'm thinking you will have to build the parts yourself. In non ARF kits like the Balsa USA 1/4 or 1/3 or SIG 1/4...

At one time or another back in the early 70's, I owned and flew most of those older Enya engines. The first version you have was not a powerhouse by any means but was dead on reliable. If you ever...
