Obviously not 1/2a, but while browsing Maple City Hobbies in Goshen, Indiana today ( http://www.maplecityhobbies.com/maplecityhobbies/index.aspx ) I saw two new Norvel .15's in the case. Said he...

RE: Are new Cox engines still made?

ARF's, in my opinion, have done more to diminish the number of dedicated new hobbyists than any other factor that I can think of. The scenario that I have seen in my area something like this: Dad...

Brodak .049 MkII

Has anybody had a chance to run the new Brodak .049? Nice looking engine - and not a CS! This could very well fill our niche.

RE: Where can I find .049 and .020 glow engines?

If memory serves, Richmond R/C still sells tha Enya .06 R/C for around $50.00. Have not bought nor even seen this engine, but given Enya's reputation for quality, it would seem that this might be a...

RE: New CSD .061 R/C

Bottom line is that you WILL sell these engines if they stay in this price bracket. I for one am appreciative of your efforts, and I hope that you do well with this. Let's face it, you do not have...

RE: Review of a Review - Minnie Mambo

That thing must be a screamer with the TD. A PAW 55 (.033) with three channels makes mine a very nice flier. A TD would be one heck of a ride!

RE: Is grish product still available?

Minor point, but is HEBRON, Indiana and not Hobart. Hobart is where Midwest is - I think.

Man, you guys really know your stuff. After having run about another 15 tanks through the little bugger, I was able to back off of the compression and lean the engine until it absolutely sang. The...

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

Perhaps I may have finally found the singular benefit to living in BFE. Well, that and the fact that proper dental care is purely optional.

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

Good point. Living as I do here in the sticks, it might be that nobody but me knows - or perhaps even cares - that Norvel is gone, thus the pricing.

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

Don't know if this will help, but I bought two new .074's last week (spare parts might come in handy) at my LHS for $44.95 each. Don't know whether they're really worth that much or not, but that's...

Color of exhaust residue PAW 55

Neophyte questions to be sure. While flying yesterday, I noticed that the exhaust residue was darker that it had been previously. It seems that the engine has now completed the break-in phase as it...

RE: MP Jet Engines

Well, thanks for the reply. Sounds like a possibility, but one that is a little less refined. Think that I'll look at the PAW 100 (.06).

MP Jet Engines

Has anyone on this forum had any experience with the MP Jet line from Carlson Engine Imports? They appear to be well made, perhaps a little heavy, from the pictures. The .061 looks decent, but...

RE: Question about Castor Oil

The least expensive castor that I have found is from Sig. I think that it's listed as Baker AA. Seems that I paid around $12.00 for the last quart. In a pinch I once used some castor that I bought...

RE: Opinion on plane for PAW 55

Opinion on plane for PAW 55

I've been having a great time flying the Minnie Mambo/PAW 55 combo...it does exactly what I wanted it to do. Now I'm thinking about what's next. The Mambo weighs in at about 18 ounces, so the PAW...

Tygon & Glow fuel

Neither our diesel fuel nor gasoline plays well with silicon or latex. Does the reverse hold true? In other words, can glow fuel be run through Tygon line and Sullivan fuel tank gas stoppers?
