RE: P-6E Curtis hawk (build thread)

Spad -- just email RCV support they will send you a new muffler -- I had problems with mine also -- The OS 91 FS muffler will fit the down pipe on the RCV also if you happen to have one of those...

RE: P-6E Curtis hawk (build thread)

Whoops I just went back and checked -- mine also point to the rear -- didn't pay too much attention to the arrows -- just went by the book and put the short leg forward. I just checked my super...

RE: P-6E Curtis hawk (build thread)

If you look inside the fuse on either side of the fuel tank you can see the hardwood they are refering to. The red arrows are supposed to point forward -- the Super Stearman had the same stickers. ...

RE: P-6E Curtis hawk (build thread)

Regular 10% Omega (the pink stuff) can be used per RCV support. I ran mine for a little more than an hour on a test stand, but I believe I could have ran it in on the airframe -- I did not notice...

RE: P-6E Curtis hawk (build thread)

pettit -- do you have some pics of how you mounted the throttle servo -- I am going to try to figure out how to get it out on the firewall somewhere as my current setup seems to be binding a little.

RE: P-6E Curtis hawk (build thread)

The G26 will fit in the cowl upright -- but I don't think the sparkplug will.

RE: P-6E Curtis hawk (build thread)

I got the RCV engine yesterday -- I will start working on mounting it this afternoon. I took a quick look and looks like it will be an easy install -- at quick glance it looks like I will need to...

RE: P-6E Curtis hawk

I talked with Kelvin today and he is moving forward on the scale exhaust for the Hawk -- he said he would keep us all updated on the progress in this post. I think he has 3 or 4 committed on this...

RE: P-6E Curtis hawk

I have not ever used one personally, but have seen a few in action, and have not really read anything bad about them. The biggest thing I was concerned with was the break-in time, but I can get...

RE: P-6E Curtis hawk

Got mine today --- RCV120 for power. Will have to say that it looks very well built and the covering does not have one wrinkle anywhere. Will get pics as the build progresses.
