RE: Correct alignment techniques

Thanks for the reminder. I stuck to the base trims and flew it yesterday. It flew great! straight and level with just 3 clicks up elevator and 2 clicks right aileron. I was amazed. I cut the flight...

RE: Correct alignment techniques

I hate this part too. In fact, I just finished an "Ouya" ARF from Texas RC and I think I messed up the stab to wing alignment. The right half of the stab is slightly forward, which I didn't notice...

RE: Practice Ship

I still have my MK Super Chipmunk with a YS120. Properly set up, it is fantastic airplane. Light, agile, and tracks beautifully. Grass fields will murder the retracts so I suggest changing over to...

RE: How do you clip a J3Cub ARF wing?

That makes sense. Thanks a bunch, Mike. I'll post a pic when I'm done but don't hold your breath.

I haven't investigated how long the fuselage is. I just assumed since it said Goldberg...

RE: How do you clip a J3Cub ARF wing?

http://image2-6.rcuniverse.com/e1/gallery/photos/480754/lg-182178.jpg

It stops about an inch off the start of the curve. I'd have to cut the vertical line down to the hinge line and make a right...

RE: How do you clip a J3Cub ARF wing?

No,no,no...it IS the ARF version, not the KIT. Sorry for the confusion. What I meant was that the ailerons aren't hinged onto the wing yet, so it would be easy enough to cut to size.

My worry...

RE: How do you clip a J3Cub ARF wing?

Thanks Mike. The graphic helps a lot. The wing isn't together yet so I CAN cut the aileron, and it calls for separate aileron servos anyway. What I read from Bax's post is that the ailerons...

RE: How do you clip a J3Cub ARF wing?

Thanks Bax. Do you mean the ailerons should stay stock length? I don't remember from building the kit. If I cut the ailerons, maybe not enough authority?

How do you clip a J3Cub ARF wing?

Hi all,

Carl Goldberg Models' original J3 Cub kit was a great stand-off scale/sport plane; and even better when built with clipped wings.
As it is no longer available, I chanced upon a...

RE: Club Enya

I just pulled an old Enya 120 4c from an old Silk & Dope Stinson 108 that I flew then stored 12 years ago. One of the valves was stuck and when I tried to knock it loose, I broke the valve adjuster...

RE: Wanted Conquest 7

Thanks, Roy. Although I had a YS AR (which I put in a Curare) at the time, I guess I lucked out on the choice of a Rossi LS as the power curve is in the upper teens. I guess the high RPM kinda drowns...

As a PP, SEL myself, I'd be dang nervous but he sure sounded like he knew the right questions to ask. I've seen the panel of a King Air 200 and it's pretty intimidating. I guess he knew the ones to...
