One classic that works rather well without a lot of modification is a Summit III. The reason is that it already has a suitable hatch in the form of a removable canopy. You can see it if you look...

I copied Doug's power set in a Calypso and it worked perfectly. A friend has a Calypso with a Hanno special in it, piped naturally. On the ground we turn the same RPMS with the same prop. ( Either...

RE: Calypso cowling

Thanks for responding speedracerntrixie,

I appreciate the offer. I don't know that I will go to the expense of having a mold made. I can carve a foam one and lay up glass over it and dissolve...

RE: Calypso cowling

Did anyone ever find a source for this cowl? I found a kit with the cowl basically shrunk, cracked, and unuseable. I'd love to find a source for the cowl instead of using my limited fiberglass...

RE: UFO #2

I've covered some in silkspan before priming to eliminate grain. It makes a nice finish , though not as durable as 3/4 oz cloth. Very light though.

RE: Como/Super Tigre S61 Bearing Info

I had a S-61 Supre Tigre and bought bearing on Boca's recommendations and they fit fine. It was the later sort of square headed version but still Italian made. In fact I have 2 and I think at one...

RE: UFO Stab Removal - Building Experts please HELP!

One thing that might work is just heating up the epoxy and scraping or gouging it out. You'd have to be careful about getting the fuselage itself too hot and consequently warp it. It isn't too...

RE: JL Products Roto Flow Gas Tank

Actually, hesitation and sputter should not be a part of how a nitro engine runs. If the carb and engine are any good, adjusting both high and low end needle valves should eliminate it. Set the...

RE: Dirty Birdy 60 Build

I realized should have been clearer as I reread the last post. I have the same ply piece on the sides of the ribs as the kit shows, what I meant for reinforcement would be applied on the other side...

RE: Dirty Birdy 60 Build

I think the 55 AX is a good choice. I'm happy with the weight of mine with a heavier OS 61 FSR in front, but had to use about 4 ounces of tail weight to get it to balance. With fixed gear ( which...

RE: Dirty Birdy 60 Build

By the way, there is a very well done, thoughtful rewrite of the instructions for the Bluejay DB. One of the things that Dbacque noticed and discusses is that the plans show the stab 1/8 inch bigger...

RE: Dirty Birdy 60 Build

Here's a couple Dirty Birdy pics. The one on the bench is mine, built from a Bluejay kit. It has an OS 61 FSR ABC and Super tigre pipe with Mac's header. It also has Rhom retracts. All up weight...

RE: TF Lustere-Kote Match

I can give one kind of strange emergency experience with compatibility and LK paint. They no longer market a match to monokote dark red. I needed that and found that Rustoleum had a color that...

RE: Loaded Dice III engine

Hi Renegade,

I just hold it up, start it, and throw it at the ground and miss! The one shown has placed well in several local pattern meets, so it was competitive. It wouldn't be now though,...

RE: Loaded Dice III engine

I have built Westrop's Acro, predecessor to the Loaded Dice and very similar to it, and two Gitanos. All were built from plans. All three are great flying planes. They can be built lightly and fly...

RE: Dirty Birdy Instructions Update

Jeff is spot on in everything he mentions. The engine mounting and cowl carving would be much easier with a small case like an OS 55. That would also save tail weight ( 4 ounces or so in my case). ...
