RE: Building and tuning, Bud Bottle Mufflers.

Maybe I missed it but how do you determine the distance from the head to the silicon stop? Is this trial and error? I have a 25cc Gt Brillelli (converted Toro). Loud little bugger.

RE: MR Aerodesign 1/4 Scale Mudry CAP 10b Review / Build

I know you haven't gotten to the wing but do you know how much dihedral is present.

RE: Scale up of gyro

Hummmmm... I suppose I should start saving some money.

On a related note, which is easier to fly for a fairly new gyro flyer, the BEGI, G3PO or neither?

Scale up of gyro

So what happens when you scale up a gyro? Is it a total redesign or are some aspects conserved? I was thinking a 2X BEGI or G3PO would be attractive. Possible or not????

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?

So if the stablizer is not responsible for the coupling then is it the rudder? Maybe too much above the thrust line?

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?

I have a question about my UCD46. Will rasing the stablizer to a position like the 60 and 120 size decrease the amount of coupling seen in KE? (Sorry if this covered back in the 165 pages!!!!!!!)

RE: U-Can-Do .46

RE: kit bashed plane

Sig Seniorita wing, GP Cap tail? Fus was tricycle gear but it looks as though a turtle deck has been added. Can't really give a good guess on the fus, may the remainder of the Seniorita?
