RE: Bent rod

I prefer not to use the spring starters as they tend to either cause unnecessary drag on the hub or vibrate, contributing to a slight loss of power. I agree though that they don't bend rods.

RE: Bent rod

I had the same thing happen with my 061 with that same Norvel red electric starter. Funny, Ive continued to use it with my Surestarts with no problem but am afraid to use it on my Norvels!

RE: Ulmer 049 wonder plans?

I was wondering if that was the one. Always been on my 'to build' list!

RE: My first Float Plane! The Neptune by League Models

That looks like a neptune clone ARF that I have been looking to buy too. From what I can tell, it is not a Maxford product, but I'm still trying to track down the manufacturer.

RE: PM0277 prop jet

The proportions look ok. The trick is to scale the drawing to achieve an appropriate wing loading. Add up the weight of all your components and the estimate a weight of the airframe and divide by...

RE: 1/2A Honker

Yes, Sig makes a 4x36" Airfoil Stock which tapers from 1/4" down to about 3/32" across the chord. I find it at my local hobby store, however it is hit and miss if they have any in stock and it is...

RE: 1/2A Honker

I have built several and retired my last one a while back, but I know there are at least a couple guys on RCU that have (had) at least one.

I would caution not to overbuild it. If memory...

RE: seamaster plane questions

ROW = Rise Off Water

By 'tunnel hull' I assume you mean planes with twin floats? Although the names are sometimes used interchangeably, 'Float Planes' are regular planes fitted with external...

RE: Jim Walker Fire Baby

Here's one you can buy pretty cheap... oh wait, that ad may be a little old.

I haven't heard of one before but I found this article which describes it well. Neat little plane - good luck on...

RE: Another box of WOOD( Giant TF F-4U)

I thought maybe you built it too heavy again and this one wouldn't fly either.:D

RE: Girvin .049 Seaplane

I agree Bruce and I have already lengthened the nose on the plan 1.5 in.

The wing saddle is sealed with silicone rubber gasket formed with wax paper around the wing and seems to be holding the...

RE: Girvin .049 Seaplane

Getting the width of the fuselage right is a fine art. Wider does help it plane out on water, but it also makes it skip on landings. I have not had a chance to float Girvin yet - I don't even have...

RE: Girvin .049 Seaplane

Got the first flight in tonight! But I probably should have waited.

Learned a couple things...
1. The wing floats fold up in a crash (like they're s'posed to)
2. It gets dark amazingly...

RE: Girvin .049 Seaplane

Was able to get in one try before dark. First time for this engine and it was developing low power. With the 5x3-3blade, it was just not enough for ROG. It skipped along the snow and made a couple...

Plane is charging for maiden tonight, if the wind goes down. We have had 25-30 mph winds the last several days and then I came home yesterday to water in my basement! Needless to say, it has been...

RE: Girvin .049 Seaplane

During construction, I changed the plan to widen the first former (F1) by 1/4", added a balsa stringer along the keel behind the step to aid in sheeting, and I changed the fin so it passes all the...

Smaller EP Neptune

I saw these - a smaller electric version of the Seamaster/Neptune - a while back and did a search here on RCU. I cannot find any report of this version.

Looks like a foreign knockoff to the...

All of my 55 failures have been because the control surface was moved in the hanger or on the way to the field and stripped the gears - never in flight. I have made it a practice to check my servos...

RE: Girvin .049 Seaplane

Thanks for your patience. It is built and I have started covering. It was a slower process since as I built, I would make small changes to the plan and then build some more. Plus I was gone most...
