RE: Larger Revolver

Jett, we are on public park property and the field is open to everyone. We fly it all.

RE: Larger Revolver

Overpowering will do it easily, even with throttle management. Larger engines bring in weight stress, too. A friend of mine 2 years back flew his H9 Hellcat 60 with a Zenoah 20cc in it. He went...

RE: Larger Revolver

Slow and Steady - pretty nice setup inside the cowl for cooling.

RE: Larger Revolver

microdon2 - sorry to hear about your giant-scale coming apart. Honest mistake, though. Don't you hate it when the MFR doesn't include good instructions and you have to go by an advertising picture...

RE: Larger Revolver

Finances keep me mainly in the 2S line of engines. I can tell you this, some engines, even with a pump or regulator, will NEVER run inverted. My OS .46FX wouldn't stay running inverted, but my...

RE: Larger Revolver

Slow and Steady & others, I started doing the same to strengthen rods against flex. My WM Tucano 60 nose gear steering rod has the same problem of flexing using the stock rod & white sleeve. I...

RE: Larger Revolver

I love 12 minutes flights. I hate 260-320cc tanks! I'm at the field to fly, and fly hard! Not to putt.... [:'(]
I swap out almost all of my stock tanks on 2S to get more flight time. 12-20 oz...

RE: Larger Revolver

these are nice, and easy to use/maintain. Not flimsy when you stress out the control surfaces, either. I have them on the rudders of 2 planes, and ailerons of 1 of them. WORKING GREAT.

RE: Larger Revolver

microdon2 check your JB Weld every couple of flights. 2 guys at my field tried that with their YS 110s and it cracked loose in several flights.

RE: Larger Revolver

the Revolver is listed as 8.5-9.25 lbs w/a 70" wingspan. The GP Big Stick 60 is listed as 6.5 lbs w/a 66.5" wingspan. Quite a weight difference, then add in the front cowl girth and wingspan...

RE: Larger Revolver

pryor808 - I don't have a problem w/technology. I said that I used the NiMH batts now.
wjcalhoun - I agree w/you. LiFePo4 should be better in the long run for RX batts in the larger nitro...

RE: Larger Revolver

I've had good luck with this battery & my LHS usually stocks it for no more the $3 more. Sometimes the same price.

RE: Larger Revolver

I'll bet it would be quite a speedster. A friend of mine decided not to buy another YS 1.10 and put the 120AX with a straight header and no muffler on his WM .46 size Mustang, which usually weigh in...

RE: Larger Revolver

Yeah, give it some air to stay cool.
I saw a spinner wobbling really bad one day because the prop was touching the spinner on both blades. We made the guy shut the plane down and take a dremel to...

RE: Larger Revolver

Thanks Slats! I didn't think it would be much, but I did hear a video with one installed on a 4S and it did sound great!!! Still, 300 RPMs can make a diff on the right plane. :D

RE: Larger Revolver

How much does the Turbo Muffler bump the RPMs on your SAITO 1.00? I have a H9 Spitfire 60 with this engine installed and am curious whether it would be worth the price to replace the stock muffler...

I have a WM Spot On 50 Pattern plane that uses pull-pull. I am going to give it the maiden flight tomorrow. The system seems very good. I'm thinking of using it on my GP Extra 300 SP (46 size)...

RE: Larger Revolver

wjcalhoun;
I've seen a Large Revolver at my field running a 75AX w/a 13x6 APC. It was doing well, even 250' climbs, Outside & Inside Loops in a 10mph wind, & 300' climbs, running 15% Nitro...

RE: Larger Revolver

Sonny,
we all appreciate your flight reports. Like you said before, it sounds like it definitely needs the 1.20 FS if you want a 4S. I hate having to use full throttle at the top of an inside...

I don't have a Revolver. If possible I put a thin layer of epoxy around the trailing edges of my cowls to firm it up and not allow the mounting screw holes in the fiberglass to wear and the cowl to...
