Night fly with luminous paint

Dupli-color has a new luminous paint (like your old watch hands) that might be great for a nitefly. Anyone tried it yet? $12/can at WallyWorld. I don't know if it's fuelproof. Forget the glo-stiks!

RE: Smoke system question

Thanks, 3D. Let me know what you find. So, were you satisfied with the quantity of smoke, or was it kinda lame? (Would you spend the $ again?) Did you get any smoke oil in your fuel tank? Also, did...

RE: Funtana 90, Saito 100-Which muffler?

Thanks. I checked those mfgs. All but Bisson carry 4-stroke mufflers. That flexible tube from Saito may do ok. I was looking at the Slimline earlier (smoke), but I ran into a problem with some of the...

Funtana 90, Saito 100-Which muffler?

The Saito 100 I have has an all-thread header and a muffler w/angle inlet. It will exhaust right into the cowl, no matter which way I aim it. What is the best answer?

SMOKE issues

I've had success running smoke on 4 stroke glow motors by injecting the fluid into the muffler through the nipple, with the glow fuel tank vented to atmosphere. There is a loss of performance of...

RE: What is a good ARF for a 30 4-stroke?

Two of them would be SWEET on that c-160 Transall from CPM. They are on Ebay all the time under 200 usually. Come in White (Coast Guard?) or camoflage. It's a big plane -72" WS, but according to the...

RE: OS 1.60 woes (with perry pump even)

Thanks for the replys. I have a short "L" needle-valve extension sticking up slightly thru the top of the cowl, and can keep an eye on its position-it doen't change. I have run into that before also,...

RE: OS 1.60 woes (with perry pump even)

No, I haven't. It is new, and it pumps. I know it could have a defect, but my delima is boiling down to this: What makes a 2 stroke make a missing sound at WO throttle in air, but not on the ground?...

RE: OS 1.60 woes (with perry pump even)

I posted a while back that I set the midrange with the pinch method at half throttle. It's a hair leaner than the 2-4 break at half. No klunk on the vent-just tubing to the top front center of the...

RE: Sany KR 1100AAU, 1500AUL short life span?

Yes, I agree. I was searching around and Red S. said something about the thinner plates and other things on these cells that makes them give up the ghost a little quick. I should've pasted it when I...

RE: Sany KR 1100AAU, 1500AUL short life span?

I have two 6 volt from Cermark and I think the other two are from MPI (4.8 v). I didn't have the Triton when they were new, just a "Battery Bug" to discharge them, but it does a fine job still....

RE: OS 1.60 woes (with perry pump even)

I had a mix of problems. It started when I would invert, and it would lean and die, as if the clunk was stuck. But it wasn't. The brass tube I used in the tank (came with the Katana if memory serves)...

RE: OS 1.60 woes (with perry pump even)

Been a bit breezy today-not right for possible deadsticks. I will spend the time to work on the cowl, by blocking and opening. When I say it was reliable, I mean that it kept running till I stopped...

RE: OS 1.60 woes (with perry pump even)

I will turn the screw in, and leave the cowl off for cooling. Might get to go tomorrow(Texas-snow 1 day, 70 degress the next, yahoo!)
