RE: Who can guess?

Well the answer to the engine and plane has been given, though not together.

It's a (pumped) OS 91FX in a Somethin' Extra (kit, not ARF). I guess that Sig shape is a giveaway.

RE: Kombat Armadillo, Wing Incidence?

Traditionally, that spacer is made from the hub of a broken prop, something even plastic airplanes are capable of producing.

RE: Dealing with wrinkles in Monokote covering

RE: Alternatives to Covering Socks?

Baby Socks.

Go to Walmart and buy a pack of all cotton socks for infants.

Pull 'em on the iron and hold in place with a rubber band on the handle.

RE: TT 61 Pro - Prop Size

In my crowd 11X6 and 11X7's are more for the 0.50 size engines. It depends whether you want to prop for speed or pull, but I'd run an 11X8 or 12X6 on a 0.61.

RE: Epoxy Fuel Proofing

Zpoxy is the trick! Mixes easily, very thin, hardens overnight.

Once you use it, you'll never use anything else!

RE: Best way to "unclog" CA tips?

RE: Illegal radios?

I don't think our channel frequency is the same as the actual crystal frequency.
