RE: Roamin Research Mig 3 build!!

I agree with Evil_Merlin if you've built a short nose version (actually the same length as the later version but referred to as such) then you've got to got with a color scheme that is appropriate. ...

RE: P-47 TF Wing Fillets

Fillets for me depend on how big they need to be and whether the fillet it from the fuselage to the wing or from the fuselage to a formed wing saddle.

If you already have a saddle I generally...

Fred,

I've been watching this post and the Mig looks great. I've been off busy with what seems like everything else other than building. I started a scratch built Mig-3 about 3 years ago and...

RE: In search of a new plane - w/ retractable landing gear

If your looking for a warbird that is a little different but a great flyer with a 46. You should check out the Yak-3 from Redstar RC.

RE: Is Red Star R/C Still In Business?

RE: Is Red Star R/C Still In Business?

jmv,

The Yak-3 is a pretty fast build for a warbird kit. It fly's great with a strong 45-50 2-stroke. I have a SK50 turning a 10.5x7 prop.

The LaGG-3 is definately "scale" and more work...

RE: First "Warbird"? TF GS P-47, P-51 or T-34?

Though not quite as big as the TF GS series, I promise you'll have the only one at your field! And it will take a 23-26cc gasser, a strong 90-2S or a good 1.20-1.50 FS. This kit builds pretty easy...

RE: Where Can I Find .40 Size Warbird Kits????

P51_fan,

Gringo Flyer recommendation on the Red Star RC Yak-3 is a good one. Though he hasn't flown his yet, I can tell you from experience it fly's great with a hot .46 or .52.

RE: Red Star RC -- LaGG-3 Beta Build

This weekend I had some good build time. I spent a few hours working on the cowling. I decided that since the spinner ring on the model is really 4.3" and the spinner is 4.25" that I would add a...

RE: new LaGG-3 Kit!

The plan and build allow you to build nearly any Series from 1-66. The tail is designed to be modified to match either style of rudder and the air scoop can easily be modified.

RE: new LaGG-3 Kit!

Definitely not a .60 size warbird. Might be able to sneak by with a 90 FS, but I think its really a .90-1.20 2S type of plane. Don't let the 66" span fool you on its size, these Russian birds like...

RE: Tower Uproar 60 Thrust Angle

Not sure if it takes a full 24 hours -- but I always let mine go at least over night. Just make sure you use the "Blue" and not the "Red". The "Red" is permanent. You can find a good thread sealer...

RE: are arf and rtf good for are hobby ????

I love ARFs. I have two of them an Uproar 40 and a Kyosho P-51. Both of them have made me a much better pilot, probably because I have very little emotional attachment to them. ARFs have been good...

RE: Tower Uproar 60 Thrust Angle

Clean the threads thoroughly with alcohol then use Blue Loctite thread sealer. Let fully cure (24 hours) the bolt should hold tight.

RE: Tower Uproar 60 Thrust Angle
