RE: Retracts for GSP Zero

Are you referring to the 71" Zero made by CMPro (sold by GSP)?

If so, I use Robart 510W1 with the stock 3/16 wire. They have held up quite well and are reasonably priced. I do need to bend the...

RE: fuel for YS 110

Yep, I agree... "Coolpower 30% High Performance Heli" is by far the best for my YS 110 and YS 140 Sport. It is all I run now, even in some of my 2-strokes.

Not sure about Wildcat fuel (I've...

RE: The worst plane you have ever flown

Not an extreme speed plane... actually, it's an electric foamy, but in my case: a GWS ME-109.

Granted, this was mostly my fault since I was a newbie and decided to cover it with Ultracote, even...

RE: NOT a GOOD thing!

Actually, I saw something similar to that once but much more comical.

A fellow flyer had a Modeltech Magic Extra (the big red one)... that plane has a real weak spot on the fuse right at the...

RE: interested in buying a ys 110

This is true. I never hand start (just don't feel comfortable with it), but I did find out how easy these were to start one day by accident.

I did my usual priming method for the first flight...

RE: interested in buying a ys 110

I also understand they are doing away with the cylinder liner/sleeve, which is also what happened to the 63S when they upgraded the design. Not too sure I like that idea, but apparently it has...

This has not been my experience. I have several YS 110s that I fly every single Sunday (thank heavens for Southern California weather!). One of them is about a year old and had 8 or 9 gallons of...

RE: Slop free four stroke throttle linkage

Skypilot,

A brilliant idea... I've had this problem on several planes and have ended up just oversizing the throttle linkage hole. Not ideal because of the fuel seepage into the fuse.

RE: Mach racer and engine thrust

Well, I can honestly say I did NOT miss that Mag 46 on Sunday. I've now officially swore off of their 2-strokes for good (their 4-strokes are pretty decent IMHO).

Well, the Magnum 46 ended up blown anyway. Running it on the ground, after a few mins the engine...

RE: Mach racer and engine thrust

I didn't mess with the thrust angle... seems to fly just fine like it is.

I don't know why, but I never seem to pay attention to the recommended throws. I just follow the TLAR method - "Eh,...

RE: Futaba FP-S130G Retract Servo Installation

efish,

I would opt for a low-profile retract servo. I use Hitec HS-75s and have had decent luck with them, and they are reasonably priced (about $35 in the US).

There is a lot of fiddling...

RE: Sportsman Aviation F4U Corsair-Tips Please

It is very similar to the H9 Corsair... even many of the pictures in the instructions are identical. Rumor is they are made by the same manufacturer.

RE: CMP Mustang P 51 Buckeye Blitz VI

What tailwheel are you using there? Looks like it's pull-pull, did you tie that into the main rudder servo pull-pull arm or is it powered by a separate servo?

Agreed, a great plane. Mine is powered by an Evolution 26GT (gasser) and flies great. No tail weight needed, but had to put a 2200mah 5-cell RX pack in the very back of the plane (directly under...

I prop for speed (warbirds) and with a 14x12 on 20/20 fuel I was getting ~8700rpm. Moving to a 14x11...
