RE: TF FW190 GIANT ARF

Not truly historically accurate, but I decided on doing it AFTER I glued the rudder on, so I went with a slight variation. I'm happy with it, more work to do yet, and then there is this darn white...

RE: TF FW190 GIANT ARF

Thank you guys for the info, I think that was about the same % amount that I used on my older (smaller) FW.

RE: TF FW190 GIANT ARF

Question for those have that flown her, how did you like the posted CG, and did you find the need to mix any elevator with flap deployment? I had a smaller FW that would balloon quite a bit with the...

RE: Hangar 9 30cc P-47 Build Thread

RE: TF FW190 A3 ARF

Ran in to the first little snag. got to installing the Robart tailwheel and it would not fit. Double checked to make sure Ihad the right one (I did, #160) but it was just a bit tight. Had to cut back...

RE: TF FW190 A3 ARF

Well I have it, and she is BIG. The wing is done, and I went with the robart electric retracts (http://www.rcuniverse.com/buynow/keywordclick.cfm?bid_id=7530), which I like, but I may have the wheels...

RE: KMP Corsair

Hi Gents,

I have had couple of folks who have this corsair recommend a dle-20, I was going to go with a 30 but I think that would be better suited for the P-39 I just got. Anyone who has flown the...

RE: Hangar 9 30cc P-47 Build Thread

I went back to the LHS, and I was mistaken on the size of the motor, but will confirm what njmheli reported, the box clearly lists on the side (3) options, to include the FG-30. The manual does not...

RE: New Top Flite P-40 60 sized arf

Looking at that picture it appears that the cowl was cut to fit the standard DLE-20 muffler. With the new JTEC slimline inverted pitts it appears that you would not have to cut the cowl. Anyone had a...
