Sig Hummer v Ace Simple 400 v Lanier Domi 200

I've built two hummers, they were great flyers. My Dad built a pair too, one with an .10FP and big flippers-it was a real hoot. This was 7 or 8 years ago, so I wasn't much of a builder back then. If...

Cox Queen Bee

The QB is a good runner, but they are a bit finicky and if you don't run them dry they will eat thru the muffler screws in very very short order.

Looks really good!

You will definitely want to range check the hell out of this plane first, and run as much of the antenna outside of the airframe as possible. I don't know of any carbon...

Cox .10 Or Similiar Engines On Free Flight Plane Has Anyone Dont This Before????

Well, you don't say much about the FF airplane, but if it's what I think it is, it won't work.

This is probably one of those Chinese foamies that has an undercamber wing with about an 18" span,...

Actually, I already have the throttle unit and a Kavan tank extender. I've never used either, was just wondering if they were worth a darn and I should get the one at the hobby shop.

Cox Queen Bee .074

Dave Robelen did an .074 sized vintage pattern article last year, I think it was a KAOS too. If you look in the M.A.N. plans index, there are a lot of 1/2A designs in there that sound like they'd be...

Cox 020 with throttle question?

You could always goop the fuel line on the tank. BTW, you can make an 010 tank out of small yellow nyrod inner, a CA squeeze bulb, and goop to act as a stopper. Works great.

Cox 020 with throttle question?

The standard size prop for Cox .020's is a 4.5-2. These are still pretty easy to find, and work pretty well. Matchless told me about an APC prop that he likes to, but I don't remember the size.
