RE: My .15 shootout AP OS LA and CV-A

RE: My .15 shootout AP OS LA and CV-A

I have no experience with the norvels in that size. I had plenty of .061/.074 flavors of norvel and they we quality engines with surprising power. I've been out of the loop for the last 8 months or...

RE: My .15 shootout AP OS LA and CV-A

All my tests were done with master airscrew plastic/composite props. I have flown that AT-6 many times since then and have found the cv-a to be a wonderful powerful engine. My opinion today is if...

RE: CMP Cessna 182 Building Thread-->the best scale Cessna 1.20 size ARF that is on the market!!!

A g-26 could work but I would be a little worried about the airframe. I have a spe 26cc which comes in at 40oz with everything including battery and it flies ok. However with the couple of reports...

RE: CMP Cessna 182 Building Thread-->the best scale Cessna 1.20 size ARF that is on the market!!!

I just weighed my plane and really it wasn't as bad as I thought. With my bcma 26cc engine (SPE engine) my all up weight minus fuel is 13lbs 14oz. So just a hair under 14 lbs. My engine is 36oz...

RE: CMP Cessna 182 Building Thread-->the best scale Cessna 1.20 size ARF that is on the market!!!

I would think you would need plenty of weight added to the front to balance it. With my SPE 26cc gas with electronic ignition I have the ignition and 4 cell AA ignition pack attached to the firewall...

I didn't get a chance to check the stall on the first two flights but I did try takeoff and landing with/without flaps. They work great. Take off with half flaps really gets it into the air quick...

RE: CMP Cessna 182 Building Thread-->the best scale Cessna 1.20 size ARF that is on the market!!!

Just got in an apc 16x8 and what a difference. Still not big loops but I am sure that will change as the engine breaks in. Definately got off the ground much better. Plus I ended up pulling the...

I left mine wing as a three piece. What I did was fit all panels snuggly together and torque down the screws. Then pull them apart and used my dremel to notch the aluminum joiners that the screws...

RE: Honeybee King v2 tuner shop

In idle up mode doesn't the motor spin at 100% power? I don't notice any gain in rpm when pitch goes positive. The dynam speed control doesn't have a governer so I suspect it is wide open. If that...

RE: Honeybee King v2 tuner shop

Which esky brushless did you get? Mine is the 3100kv which has a max amp draw of 13 amps. The 3800kv model is a 20 amp max motor so if thats what you have then you would need a different battery. ...
