RE: rossi/ st p/l source

AFAIK, the old iron and steel Rossis and Tigres were strictly loop-scavenged oldies, possibly the interim Perry Ported. The Conquest was a modern Schneurle, although I can't recall that it was ABC...

RE: DeBolt Speed Plane

I've attempted twice to post this reply, and the site just freezes solid instead of posting it. I made a typo when I finally did get it to post, and then the EDIT froze solid.

Anyway, at the end...

RE: Looking for .049 Ringmaster plans with built up wing

There were all kinds of Cox 049s, from very mundane, boring, and moderate-powered (Baby Bee) through some intermediates, up to the remarkably high performance Tee Dee model, although various recent...

RE: Flite Streak for Tee Dee

When the Ringmaster Jr was relatively new, Ihad a Green Head Torp 15 that weighed about three ounces on one that flew at a very high rate of speed with a 7/6 prop, and I used an 8/3 instead to slow...

OK, then how IS one of those things *supposed* to end its flight?

"Pizza Box Flyer" was the only sensible Acronym match that Google would give me. I had to ask that (subject line) after seeing Mr. Clean's tagline in his comment to Dan Vincent in the Space Bug on...

RE: Brodak 25 engine

So far, the only Brodak engine that I've seen is my own 40. It seems to be a decent engine; whether that means the 15 & 25 are as good isn't clear to me.

I do have a sizable number of Asian Rim...

RE: Veco Tom-Tom

I was just wondering about that. A new arrival / retread has an incomplete Warrior he's building, and I asked (started a new thread on another site) for contact information.

RE: When I Was Young

The two engines, both the Baldy and the first two "Marks" of the 6-bolt engines, went through different heat treating also, in which the brittle ones broke just like G21/35 shafts did, through the...

RE: When I Was Young

I've also spent time under Duke's sun shade at contests, but the thing I remember most from about then is how upset Duke was that he'd killed his popular needle bearing 36X to replace it with the...

RE: Solved: wanted Mike Gibson's eMail about WW2 foamie wing kits

I preferred Fox engines for slow combat, whether needle bearing or ball bearing equipped. Very few contests I attended ever had the bushing shaft only rule, although I was prepared for that with a...

RE: Fox Stunt Plug

I've never experienced burping with Foxes on profile mounts, but I have been running the same old 50s - 60s Fox 35s I've always flown for sport, plus one old Fox 29 that Marvin (Big Iron) gave me a...

If George ever expanded on his story, I missed the connection regarding which specific McCoy 19 it was that he and Bob Palmer used in some very lightweight versions of Chiefs. I always meant to ask,...

RE: Pictures of Your U-Control Handle

I am curious why the Control Line World web site has nothing on it newer than three and a half years old.

Additionally, when it comes to handles, there's a collection that De (not "Dee") Hill...

RE: Veco Tom-Tom

RE: Veco Tom-Tom

The original Tomahawk and Tom Tom were better looking, IMO, and had more wing area, although weaker in structural aspects. The empennage on it was very P51-styled. Some time in the early 1960s, Veco...

RE: Solved: wanted Mike Gibson's eMail about WW2 foamie wing kits

There really aren't great numbers of CL modelers in total, and the counts of those who have any interest in any variety of CL combat is quite small, but perhaps someone with a misapprehension of the...

RE: Combat

Right now, only the slower versions of Speed Limit and half-A are not required to include shutoffs. Speed Limit contests have been set for 70, 73, 75, 80, and 100 mph speeds.

I discovered that I...

RE: Solved: wanted Mike Gibson's eMail about WW2 foamie wing kits

RE: Select Hobbies PT19 CL

In my opinion, within certain practical limits, if you actually know what you are doing, you can accomodate a wider range of engines than a given kit was designed for. I would not suggest a Veco 19...
