RE: AMA General Liability Insurance

I was one of the very first to sign up as a large model inspector. I was also informed that two of the models I had inspected were the only two to have been approved at that date.

Later, The...

RE: Academy of Model Aeronautics announces resignation of its executive director

I live near the AMA site, and visit regularly. I have had occasion to talk to several of the personnel from time to time, and have never had any of them utter a good word for Cherry. Frankly, I'm...

RE: Piper Tri-Pacer from Wendell Hostetler is now here!!

Glad to see this thread get some new life! The Tri Pacer has long been one of my favorite planes, and I started Wendell's 1/3 scale version three years ago. It is now framed up entirely, with the...

RE: Piper Tri-Pacer from Wendell Hostetler is now here!!

(to outacontrol41) I built the stab incidence as shown on the plan. It checks a little positive to the wing, but apparently this is correct, since we have had testimony that the planes flys well!

RE: Piper Tri-Pacer from Wendell Hostetler is now here!!

Perhaps a little word of warning! When I called Hank Likes to order a gear, I had been told the gear cost $60 or so (J Silverstein on this thread). Likes told me it was $100, and he hung up when I...

RE: Piper Tri-Pacer from Wendell Hostetler is now here!!

Steve, your wendell tri pacer looks good! Can you liven up this thread a little? Tell us how it balanced. Did you need to add weight, and if so, where? What engine did you use? If you have flown...

RE: Piper Tri-Pacer from Wendell Hostetler is now here!!

Great to see the photos of the planes in progress. I plan to post a few photos in the near future. I have the firewall, engine mounting, wings, and tail feathers framed. Most of the needed...

RE: IMAA President???

I went to the IMAA web site, but found nothing there! Is there some dark secret here? How about just stating what has happened?

RE: Piper Tri-Pacer from Wendell Hostetler is now here!!

I am using a YW48B2 twin. It is a very nice piece of craftsmanship! It should be plenty of power, and it runs great on the test stand. I have found it to be difficult to start by hand, however. I...

RE: Piper Tri-Pacer from Wendell Hostetler is now here!!

Getting a little bit of a start on my Tri Pacer. I decided to go with a framed up and sheeted empannage, rather than the 3/8" sheet than Wendell suggests. I can offer a little bit of a correction...

RE: IMAA -- Still a valid organization?

I would like the web addresses of the sites you mention, Fred---

RE: Piper Tri-Pacer from Wendell Hostetler is now here!!

Sorry to see there is so little activity on this forum site lately. I have decided to go with the YW48 twin on my plane. The engine looks great, and the quality seems to be superb. I reviewed it...

RE: Piper Tri-Pacer from Wendell Hostetler is now here!!

Well, my nose gear finally arrived today! Quite a nice piece of work. Expensive, but I don't have the machinery to duplicate it, so I just had to bite the bullet. Paid for it on April 1st,...

RE: Piper Tri-Pacer from Wendell Hostetler is now here!!

I think the Fuji 32 would be ample power for a 100" Tri-Pacer. I put one on a Kangke 96" Monocoupe ARF that I assembled for a friend, and it is more than enough power.

We had to send back the...

RE: What is it?????

I live near Indy, where Indy RC sold hundreds of these kits in all sizes. I have built two 99's, one 80, and have owned two others. They are great flyers.

IMAA -- discussion

Geistware-- You mentioned going to an event at Elwood. That would have been the Chapter 48 fly-in. I founded that chapter in 1981, and am the only original member who remains. I am sorry that your...

IMAA -- discussion

I am a long time IMAA member. As more and more giant scale craft show up at local fields, it seems that the uniqueness of these planes is diminishing.

In my opinion, this is the reason for the...

Dick Garmhausen, of Ohio, drew plans for a 1/4 scale Cap 20 in the early 80's. These are the only plans I know of, for a built-up Cap 20.
