RE: Built-up electric kits that will convert to 1/2A glow

I received a mini telemaster about a month ago...what to do? Reduce the dihedral and add alerons and maybe an .061? How's the airframe going to react? Any thoughts, suggestions or inspirations?

RE: Such thing as an .10 ARF trainer?

My only complaint about an ARF, any ARF, is that often the plane doesn't assemble like the directions show and I end up modifying the structure. I built the Chia Pass stick 10 (House of Balsa) in...

RE: Engine size limit for this forum

I agree with the idea of .049 to .25 with "justifiable" exceptions. It's been great to glean ideas form folks with special interest and expertice in small aircraft.

RE: .15 sized plane recommendations

House of Balsa makes a bunch of planes in the 10-15 range. I'm just completing a Chea Pass 10 Stick. Laser cut parts that fit together flawlessly. Not a kit for a beginner but pretty bullet proof...

RE: Ace AllStar Bipe

Thanks for the great responses. The Norvel is a decent fit on the firewall without doing a lot of cutting. I'm impressed with the placement of the motor mount so high on the firewall, BTW. Getting...

Ace AllStar Bipe

I'm building an Ace AllStar bipe and am wondering what power plants have been used and whether or not ailerons are a worthwhile addition. Do you need ailerons on both the top and bottom wings? I've...

What a beautiful job! I have one in the box and begging for assembly but am still researching the aileron possibilities. Did you change the dihedral on the wing when you added ailerons? Any tips...

tt-o7

This 07 engine is very sensitive to running lean. IMO, it will lean out in flight more than is appreciated. Starting it rich and flying for a minute or so is anxious but you can tell when the mix...
