big thanks for the pics and the info, very reasonable on the price and from the looks of it, the spinner back plate looks to be 1/4 inch thick, that might be what I need to fit my motors with out any mods...

Thank you!!!

I am ordering some today.

Here is the correct info on the spinners:

Good Luck

How did you get the twin aX's to fit in the cowls? I had to move the engines forward because the needle valve hits the mount which makes the spinner not flush on the cowl?

I unbolted the needle valves from the bracket and mounted them on the firewall. .46AX needles are on an adjustable bracket, and can be removed. It was a tight squeeze, but I got it done.

Thanks, I never noticed that. I looked at everything but that. I was even going to extent the cowls.

Thanks again.

Well got a few more flights under its belt so decided to finnish her off, painted up the Graunper 11/7's, peeled off the radiator stickers and made some more scale type ones filled and painted, and added some flight crew

Hi All,

I am a new member of this group and a fan of the Jamara Mosquito. The mine fly very well with two electric engines AXI 2820/12,





BUT BE CAREFULL, There is a big error about the CG in the original doc.

Look at below the good place of the CG for a good and a safe flight...



I hope this will help you.

You will find all the photos and a video of my electric powered Mosquito at :

****SPINNERS*****

Hi all, have not been around much, been busy flying for a change. Just to let you all know Dave Brown has put some spinners on Ebay. They are made to exactly the profile that the Mossie used as the drawing used was taken off the profile of the real thing. (See page 15)

They are the best you will get and are absolutly spot on. See picture below. Dave said he intends to make some more but is very busy at the moment.

Have fun

UK Warbird Guy:

Where at on E-Bay does Dave have those spinners????

UK Warbird Guy

No Idea he just said could I post on here thart he has them on ebay.

What have you searched under? Maybe he hasn't put them up yet. I spoke to him last night.

I'll have a look myself and let you know if I find them.

Hi, quick question for lozza - what engines have you got in the mossie, and what's its total weight and wing span?

Thanks.

have a look at this

Well, I've done it. I've finally bought one.
Need to decide on engines though.
I've read the posts and most people have their favourites but which would you guys consider the best to put in it? (Contentious I know)

Saito FA50/56 - ok?
RCV 58CV - slim design - less cowl bashing
OS FS52S - good reputation

Obviously reliability is a big factor here (even with a [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4211050/tm.htm]TwinSync[/link]) but weight will be an issue (heavier the better I guess) as will the sound

Cheers

If you want the sound, you should go with 4-strokes. I think nearly any motor could be as reliable as you want, just make sure it has enough brake-in time (the older the engine the better).

I bought 2 new Magnum 52 FS, they are identical with the OS version. Maybe not as good finish. I had them both on my engine-break-in-mount for about 3x 250 cc tanks, and I think the run nice, and nearly same rpm. These Magnum are just cheaper them OS.

But the Saitos would be very lovely in the plane. I had one FA-72 and earlier I thought about buying one more. But I got some response that they would be too big for the cowls.

For the weight, I plan on douple receiver (2x 5-cells) batteries on a MPX RX-9 receiver. Glow-driver for the engines. And maybe a special ACT voltage regulator. All just to make some use of the extra weight up-front you need.

I just started assembling a Mossie myself. Thanks for all the tips fellas. I'm thinking of using a pair of O.S. FSR .40s. Theoretically, it will go about like a rocket. I probably have some reinforcing to do.

Hot Rod Todd

My Feedback: (1)

OS .40's will be OK, but not a rocket by any means. It can easily handle them without re-enforcing. I'd opt for the .46AX's, you can then get a bit more thrust which helps a lot on take off. Don't go by the recommended power, whoever came up with that was a bit off.

cmingram83

Well, those old FSR 40s are a bit more powerful than the new ones, or should I say a LOT more powerful. Pretty comparable to a Tigre 51, just without the weight.

cmingram83

Also, I was wondering if anyone had any input concerning mechanical retracts to use. The ones they make for the mossie don't look very durable.

kaastrup

I am using those from 3DXHobbies.com

http://www.3dxhobbies.com/store/cata...T_cat_310.html

I got them a long time ago, and they seem very sturdy. And I use Robart struts 65xL+R (I think it is).

cmingram83

WOW those look very tough, and expensive. Just out of curiosity, what's the weight on those?

kaastrup

If you read whats on the page you can see the weight and price !!!!

cmingram83

Well I feel dumb now. That's not bad on the weight. I'm thinking of using robart mechanicals, though. They should work fine and they're about half the price. I just wish someone made some scale retracts for this particular model.
