RE: searching -Hiperbipe1978 mag article

Hi,

I have a copy of RM June 1978 with Phil Moore's 57" Hiperbipe in it. I can dig it out and scan it if required.

RE: Chris Foss - Acro Wot

Most of my Acrowots have used .70 FS, perfect engine if you are happy with conventional aerobatics.

RE: Great Planes 27% Edge 540 ARF - build thread

Thanks, Tim - and pretty much the technique I've been using on models I've built and covered, but perhaps it should be passed on to the people responsible for covering the ARFs!

Anyway, the rain...

RE: Great Planes 27% Edge 540 ARF - build thread

Thanks for the rapid answer. I also consider myself reasonably accomplished with most heat-shrink coverings (been building and flying models of one sort or another for around 40 years now), but could...

RE: Great Planes 27% Edge 540 ARF - build thread

Hi Tim,
Nice project. I was wondering what the covering was like before you stripped it, as it appears that most of the upper half of the new Edge is covered in metallic blue, a Monocote color I...

RE: Scale Insturment Panel for Ohio R/C Chipmunk

If it's 1/5 scale, you could try Apache Aviation in the UK. I have heard people say that the Chipmunks are the same. http://www.apacheaviation.co.uk/Replacement_Parts/replacement_parts.html

RE: KMP Beaver composite wings version

I have the earlier version with built-up flying surfaces and a GRP fuselage. I bought it recently, second hand and already flown. I installed an MVVS 26 gas engine, which flies it well on an 18x6...

RE: ARF in Sea Freight

I've been told that importers here are waiting for the 'next container load' of models before now, so doubt that that are flown in, simply wouldn't be economical.

RE: ARF in Sea Freight

I think that all the ARFs we have here in Finland are shipped from somewhere, which might explain the dreadful wrinkles in the covering of my Great Planes Cap! No structural problems observed, though.

RE: Great Planes Extra 27% 330s

I'd be interested some expert opinion on how this size of model would fly on an MVVS 1.6 (sold as Evolution in the US, I think?) I have the Cap 232 on order and have this engine lying around, it is...

RE: Plywood shortage

I live in the center of a plywood producing area in Finland and there is no shortage here, nor have I heard of one. Still able to buy aircraft-quality birch ply in the local timber yard.

How about Peter Russell's STOL from RCM&E in the early 70s? It was revised and re-published about 10 years later as well. I have the build articles and plans here, even got as far as drafting it in...

RE: Electric 1/4 Spitfire MK1A full composite

Jukka,

Are you sure you're not starting to suffer from the epoxy? It's nasty stuff, I used it for years in my modelling but about 10-15 years I started to become sensitive to it and now get all...

RE: Electric 1/4 Spitfire MK1A full composite

Thanks, Jukka, the little Spit is on my bench with a new front end waiting for glue, as well as a new GRP cowl. It will certainly be in the air next summer, but I am hoping to see the 1/4 scale...

I have an unstarted Sig kit on my shelf and could be persuaded to part with it, but you'd need to add postage from Finland to the price.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Thanks, I'll stick with the 6oz tank for the 62 (not so easy to change as it just fits in the 4 Star) and use an 8oz for the 82 in the Acrowot. I never liked giving too much fuel a free ride - 50%...
