RE: Funtana x100 - too scared to fly! Advice please

That's not a bad idea! I considered asking someone to take her up for me, but I don't know any mode 2 flyers.

O.S. no. 6 plug too hot?

I ran in my ASP 52 with an O.S. 6 plug (happened to be lying around). I was since told that O.S. 6 plugs are too hot and I should use the no. 8 plug instead, which I did. Immediately, I noticed that...

RE: Centering aileron servos

That does look remarkably similar!

I've seen quite a few of these Eagles around in Cape Town, must be a local supplier selling them cheaply! Does not appear to be a well known plane elsewhere.

RE: Centering aileron servos

Aah, I see. So make sure the servo arm is centered, and use pushrod / clevis adjustments to center the aileron itself. Will try this tonight, thanks!

RE: Just about had it with this ASP!

Under the cap inside the tank itself? Will glow fuel do anything to the silicone? Wouldn't want any kind of residue in the tank.

RE: Did I just break my new engine?

Already a club member and have had lots of help.

No need to worry guys, I only run this motor with 15 m of empty space and a concrete wall in front of it, I'm generally very safe.

RE: Did I just break my new engine?

I'm using the nut that came with the engine. I'm tightening about as much as I can using pliers and there is enough thread. When I'm done, the prop is very secure. Does it matter which way around the...

Where do you get the paper / teflon gaskets? Is this something I'd find at an auto parts shop? Thanks.
