2020年9月28日 · Back before the present foolishness with the China Wuhan Virus scare, I built a Dave Rees T-38a Talon (Flyimg Models April 1974 and February 1975) painted in the same scheme as a T-38 that I flew on my first T-38 Solo at Vance AFB, OK in the early Spring of 1976. What a great aircraft. I finished it for the 2020 VSC but could not make it to the ...

2021年4月25日 · Takeoff RPM was 10 five, and I changed the prop to a stalker medusa 12 six which actually measures 12 5 to 12 5 1/4. The ST 51 had a nice growl with a superb 2 4 break. Only got one flight on the plane today but it was very successful with lap time at 5.2. Corners were crisp, no problem with the vertical, and can’t wait to fly it again on ...

2025年1月6日 · I don’t really understand the 5-minute epoxies, especially in workshop use. It’s easy to warm up the workpiece a little (hot blanket, lightbulb, warm air..) and get a much better result with a slower epoxy in almost the same time. From all the hobby/hardware store epoxies, I think the 2 best are UHU Endfest 300 and West G-Flex.

2025年2月24日 · I hadn't been into the pipe scene during the 40's popularity, and started with a .61... so it was a revelation to me... even at faster lap speeds, the light little .40 plane with 11 3/4 2B is a lot less fatiguing than the .75 plane, even though their wing areas aren't all that different (something like 640 vs/687?) with the .75 I'm feeling it ...

4 天之前 · I got kind of excited and made up a QED 502. This is relatively similar to my QED design article published in the October 1998 MA edition.

2025年2月13日 · Also, any gas turbine engine can be adapted. The main issue with H2 power for cars is infrastructure. This was what killed the compressed natural gas (CNG) cars, couldn't get a significant number of filling stations. It is also why electric has succeeded; it is very easy to drop a powerline to a charging station or have the 220 system in your ...

2025年2月7日 · I am planning on setting up some 59' x .014 solid flying lines. The last set I did was over thirty years ago and remember using the AMA handbook for the termination procedure. I couldn't find my old copy and the description in the online version seems a little different than I remember (could be a bad memory on my part).

2025年2月16日 · Your subject is somewhat confusing. It's not a Super Flying Clown. It's just a Flying Clown. The Super Clown is a different, bigger airplane for a .35.

2025年3月6日 · The sound varies with the throttle setting. It appears to attach to the BEC in-between the timer and ESC. I have a heavy dose of tinnitus and I cannot hear the boost and brake from the motor. I have to rely totally on feel to tell me if it is right. Sound would help me. Adding 3.5grams to my overweight planes wouldn't even be noticed. Ken

2024年12月9日 · Been looking through my stash for an engine for my Gieseke Nobler. Don't think a Fox will have enough power; so I've setteled on either a Tom Lay OS 32 FSP or an OS 40 FSP. Both weigh the same (8.1 oz versus 6.7 oz for the Fox). My question is would the Tom Lay OS 32 have enough power? I think so but really need some advice. Brew
