Well, here I go. I read all the posts and as a warbird lover, I am glad I did not plan on going to Dayton. Of the last few shows I went to, there were way to many 3D jobs flying. I have now found...

Wankel woes

Thanks much for the help. I don't know the history of the engines as I got them from a friend. I don't think he did very much with them so they may not be run in yet. I will get some better fuel and...

B17G into an F ?

Sure you can. The big difference is of course the chin turret. But there are some other changes to be made as well.

First the cheek guns will have to be changed to just windows rather than...

Bronco?

From the sound of the description, it could be an OV-10 Bronco. 2 booms for the engines, the crew pod in the middle and the elevator between the rudders at the top. A photo would be better.

Home made onboard glo driver for a saito 72

Thanks Bill,
I knew there was some reason that happened, but was not sure just why. I figured it had something to do with the nichrome wire and temp of the coil.

So the wire acts as a resistor...

Home made onboard glo driver for a saito 72

It really won't hurt anything at all to leave it on all the time. I do this on most of my larger models with glow and the guys in the scale masters and top gun have been doing it for years.

CAD and formers

May be a dumb question but, I have formers 1 and 11 in cad. I need to make formers 2 thru 10. Is there a way to interpolate these from the ones I already have.

It really depends on the size of the airframe and the thickness of the sheeting.

Some general rules that will help are.

Do all the sanding OFF the airframe. Glue as many sheets as needed to...

Engine availability

Yup, Mike is the man to get them from. I just ordered 3 more 90SPs for my B-17. The one I bought for testing impressed the heck out of me. So I need the rest for her.

3 Blade Props

Bill is about right on with the 10X6 on the 52. It is a bit underproped and you have to watch the RPM but it will work. I ran the MA 10X6 on mine and again went to the Graupner 10X6 which is a bit...

3 Blade Props

I use the 3 blade Graupners on all my 4 strokes. Much better than the MA props. They are a wider blade more suited to 4 strokes. A Graupner 12X8 3 blade works well on my OS 91 FS. I'm sure you will...

Sounds like the right prop and RPM range. I think I would get ride of the pressure valve. Fuel going through the muffler does not hurt anything. It just leaves a puddle on the ground.

TF Corsair with OS 91 surpass I

If the engine loads up at idle, you need to adjust your low speed needle until it will idle right. The .91 should be swinging a 14X6 or 13X8, someplace in that size range. I use 14X6s on my OS .91...
