Rubberbands are fine Wagen. You can use a zip tie too and cut it with pliers after you are done flying. If you use a zip tie, make sure it is tight so it will not slip off. Not a lot is necessary as...

RE: Official RCU Fliton Inspire 60 build thread!

Thanks for your reply Cody, I thought most comments would be made on thrust. Can you explain to me the reasoning behind the CG move? I would like to learn the in's and out's of trimming and this one...

RE: Official RCU Fliton Inspire 60 build thread!

Joey,

I got a 91AC sitting at home too but opted to go for a smaller engine (Saito .82). This is a very lightly built plane, I think you will get better results with a lighter engine (and your...

I had a hard landing on a deadstick and had the landing gear plate crack, but the landing gear, pants and wheels are holding up really well.

RE: Official RCU Fliton Inspire 60 build thread!

There is a lot of space to mount the tank up front. You could put it all the way forward (just behind the firewall) if you are able to install a tray so it can sit over the throttle servo.

RE: Official RCU Fliton Inspire 60 build thread!

Good call Jimnie, I tried your suggestion last night and I can now confirm only the fuse has the problem. The gap with the left wing panel upside down measured the same than the right wing panels gap.

RE: Official RCU Fliton Inspire 60 build thread!

Thanks for all of your input. The wing is not pushed all the way in, it is set so the edge of the rib is just in line with the wing socket in the fuse. It has the depth of the socket remaining to go...

RE: Official RCU Fliton Inspire 60 build thread!

I do ok with YS, but I just do not want to do any tinkering and deal with special fuels. Id rather go with an engine which is happier with most fuels you put in it, plus it is a bit lighter...:D

RE: Official RCU Fliton Inspire 60 build thread!

Well, a Saito .82 + a Cline = A bit over $310 and a YS .63 (pump included) is about $250. I am looking for the most powerfull option, but still reliable one. What do you think?

RE: Official RCU Fliton Inspire 60 build thread!

Thinking about an engine for this plane. Where is the tank located? Is it at the CG? If so, fo you think it is far enough for a 4 stroke to need a pump?

RE: Saito 82 vs YS 63?

I have exactly the same question. I am wondering what to put in an Inspire 60. I want the plane to get started on 3D flying, but not sure which engine will pull it better. Anyone have any suggestions?
