RE: Tuning with your snoot up in the air

Thanks everyone for the good advice. I didn't like the idea of adjusting the high speed needle while it was in the air very much, so I will definitely get a tach. I have had a few deadsticks that...

Tuning with your snoot up in the air

The other day I was adjusting the high speed idle on my OS .75. The motor has a 114x4w prop on it so it's difficult for me to hear the change in pitch when I lean it out. I decided that I would try...

RE: Two-stroke motor template for H9 Katana 50

I didn't find the template for the motor until it was too late, but what I did worked out fine.  I simply lined up the propeller shaft with the vertical stab, took a couple of measurements so that...

RE: Interesting problem ...input invited

Same kind of thing happened with my brother's plane several years ago. He had a 72mhz that also locked up the elevator like yours.  It was before the 2.4 systems came out, but we changed everything...

RE: Two-stroke motor template for H9 Katana 50

Azbobcat4<div>Thanks for the offer, but I did a bunch of measuring and put it on.  I happened to find the four-stroke template and the measurements match mine. However, I am not sure if the 4 stroke...

Everyone,
I would like to put a two stroke motor on my Hanger 9 Katana 50, but I no longer own the template that comes with the plane. The template that I am referring to fits over the nose of the...

RE: CG for Hanger 9 Katana 50?

UPDATE: I (actually my son) has flown the Katana a few more times since the last post. We made a few minor changes that have helped to stabilize the plane. This includes putting on the side-force...

RE: Recommendations for ARF Plane for my (new) Saito FA-100

I have the Pulse .60 with an O.S. 75 in it. The plane flies very nicely. It floats in on landings and does not have any bad habits in the air. I would describe the plane as relaxing to fly. I can...

RE: CG for Hanger 9 Katana 50?

The battery is about a 1/2 inch away from the firewall.  Also, I now have the O.S. 75 on it and a metal nose cone  I think that the big problem with getting it to balance was a combination of using a...

RE: Electric or Glow Trainer

I have flown both glow and electric, and each provides a real different experience. Flying and working on glow planes is hands-on and all about tools and the mechanical.  That's good for me. I like...

RE: HANGAR 9 SARATOGA 40

I just checked Hanger 9 and they appear to have discontinued the Saratoga 40.  Horizon is out of stock.  I can't imagine why, given its popularity.

RE: HANGAR 9 SARATOGA 40

I had one with an OS 46AX in it, and it was great!  Flies nicely and looks great.  Lands a little faster than my Pulse, but does not have any bad habits.  Build quality is typical of Hanger 9-very...

I have a fairly new OS 75 with about 6 flightson it. Just after the plane lifts off (about 3/4 throttle), the motor sputters. It's not enough to kill the motor, but it does give me a scare. Because...

RE: Seagull Edge 540 .46,Hangar 9 Katana 50 or Hangar 9 Sundowner 50?

I own the Katana from Hanger 9.    You can read in my above thread about CG that it balanced very tail heavy with a .46 in it, but once I swapped it out with a .75 it balanced fine.  I have only...

RE: CG for Hanger 9 Katana 50?

I called Hanger 9, and the guy said that it is probably because I didn't use the pull-pull system. I dropped the additional weight down to 12 ounces by glueing some of it on the motor mount. I am...
