What happened to all the glow powered trainers?

I'm trying to get back into flying R/C after about a 10 year break. In the past, I had a great time flying the Great Planes PT-40, so I tried looking for it again. Seems that it has been...

RE: five-cylinder radial engine homemade from five OS FS-70S II

Awesome work man! I've seen a similar twin made from cox .049's before, been wondering of possibilities with bigger engines.

RE: Airplane nicknames

Everything I've seen looks like the T-37 is officially called the Tweet, not a nickname. Their engines sure are loud though!
I've heard C-172s called skychickens instead of chickenhawks

RE: Low Pass

What's crazy about it? Every plane flys at that altitude above the ground at least twice every flight. The plane wants to pitch up when you're down that low, and that plane in particular is...

RE: A question about flaps

I'll try that on my flights today. I really don't see how that could work considering the normal amount of forward pressure required to keep the nose leve while extending flaps is really light, and...

RE: wing angle

Yup, I think there's a balsa model called a Drastic, not sure that's the correct name though. I've seen a few guys build a SPAD version called a spadrastic, search for it on spadworld.net

RE: Bipe snap rolls out of loops???

Slow speed truely has nothing to do with stalls. The one, and only requirement to stall is exceeding the critical angle of attack, which can occur in any condition, at any speed, and at any...

RE: A question about flaps

Wait, you had a 172 trimmed for 90Kts. and extended 10* of flaps and it pitched up 35* and stalled? Um, the 172 has a trim change with change in flaps, but I've never experienced anywhere even in...

RE: How Do You Secure the Exhaust Pipe/Muffler?

Putting red RTV silicone works great for locking threads, it adheares to various materials, yet isn't too strong so you can take things apart when you need to. I put it on everything.

RE: Flat plate delta wing

Kinna hard to say about weight considering no real specs were given on either plane. It's one of the lightest plane I've had, and by far the fastest. Is the delta in your avatar your own design,...

RE: Dual rate trim change

RE: Flat plate delta wing

Never tried a pusher, but the delta I fly, a BullDawg, has no up or down thrust, elevons are reflexed up slightly. It flies like no other, nothing but awesome.

Dual rate trim change

I have an 8UAP and I noticed that when I switch between dual rates, the elevator's trim position changes a few degrees. Is there a way to correct that?

RE: How do you preserve an engine?

Wrapping the engine in paper before storage is also a good idea. The paper would absorb moisture instead of it getting on the metal and rusting.
