RE: Tipo Flying Again
The model does fly very very well. I actually flew the FAI P-11 schedule at an event in 2011...tricky to keep it in the box BUT it flew the integrated rolling loop great and the rolls are just crazy cool! The prop is an APC 11 x 9 with Cool Power 15% and Magnum I. Rusty Dose Team Futaba Former owner

RE: Dirty Birdy ARF
More flying time... My World Championship Calypso was a hoot to fly while the engine was still in the break-in phase and I discovered the head bolts were loose, allowing fuel to pour out of the engine. It was not unusual for the last manuever in the Masters Pattern to complete the 4-point roll down wind, dead stick and immediately land up wind! Anyway, my model was space constrained so I determined I could add a header tank very easily. It looks to me like one could add a 4 - 6 ounce tank, shape of your choice in the space behind the original tank. I will build this feature into my model when I assemble it. Here is a link for more information on header tanks: http://rcmaziz.blogspot.com/2007/12/header-tanks-how-and-why.html The drawing is for a jet and the "pump" is simply connected to your engine.

RE: Dirty Birdy ARF
[b]The Great Planes Dirty Birdy ARF was created from an original epoxy glass Bridi fuselage. I have seen comments speculating that GP was "...cheap, lazy..." to do it right, referring to the concave canopy fuselage transition...the picture below shows that it is there and perfect![/b] In my opinion the fuselage is exactly the same from the firewall back and the cowl was lengthened to accomodate the modern engines which are longer. The old school 1989 Masters pattern takes less than 7 minutes to complete with generous turn-arounds. The tank supplied, will probably allow 8 - 9 minute flights with any throttle managment...14 minute flights will need a drop tank to complete! My model arrived in perfect condition and I look forward to the assembly. I am doing a comparison of my carefully built wooden Bridi Dirty Birdy versus the Great Planes ARF and will be available upon request. Rusty Dose Team Futaba

RE: Dirty Birdy ARF
This model has been in the works for a couple of years and will more than likely be a fine, well engineered model offering success to/for the average modeler. Many of you are expert builders, flyers and can create a superior product to the typical ARF. Please consider modelers who do not have the time, experience or desire to scratch or kit build a classic pattern model. The market place will provide excellent feedback to the answer of "correct, best compromise, reasonable solution. or plain old crap". Yes, I am a Team Futaba and therefore Hobbico selected/sponsored pilot which due to my character does not bias my discussions or opinions on any of the products I write about on social websites or in person. [b]Rusty sez:[/b] The cowl fits very well and will greatly simplify the nose gear steering, which attaches to the engine mount. I also spent quite a bit of time discussing the model with the project manager. The tank/engine carb relationship will provide very consistent engine runs for non pumped engines. The model will accept many different engines and also a variety of retracts. I will probably use the OS .65 AX with pipe on the GP model and the Webra Speed with black Webra pipe on my wooden model. (I will be doing a complete review of the wooden Dirty Birdy kit versus the Great Planes Dirty Birdy ARF). It looks like the nose ring may have been extended to allow longer nose gear wire for longer props and the longer spinner is deceiving also. I will probably use a FAI short stubby spinner on the ARF and wooden model. Retracts... I also spent time in the Robart booth discussing their new electric retracts. Robart IS located a few miles from my home flying field!!! Any way, the units use a jack screw and a separate control box which one locates in the model away from moisture. Different speeds are available as well as the ability to use RX power or 4.8 - 7.4 volts (lipo) to power separately. More volts = faster retraction speed. I also saw the fiberglass DB in the swap shop and it had not sold as of 3:30 Saturday...nobody cared @ $250 (reality check for purists) and many will chose to spend $300 for the ARF!

RE: Identify this model
Tony- it is a Fresh-Aire by Doug Ferguson. Doug flew came in the top ten at the 1981 or 1982 Nats and was invited to the 1982 TOC. I built the wings for his back-up Laser... A few of us created the Fresh Aire II by making the plug for Jim Graham of RC City in my apartment in the 1991 time frame. None of us every built a Fresh Aire II but know that R/C City sold some. Doug and Jon Britt were early adopters of the 4-cycle engines beginning with the Enya and then the YS. Rusty Dose Team Futaba

RE: Winamac Fall Fling!! 2011
Tim, Thank you for the terrific hospitality! For those of you that have not been to the Winamac Aero club...it needs to be on your short list. I took my little boys Chip (9) and Tom (7) and spent about four hours oggling the models in the hangar visiting with the regulars. Timmy was nice enough to let me fly the Hangar 9 "Beast" and an Aeroworks 200cc Ultimate. Nothing like a powerful biplane. My little Tom talked everyone's ears off, yes he talks more than I do and everyone was very patient with his questions and very close handling of their models. He was pleased to see no fewer than (4 ) Gee Bees in the hangar and flight line. I look forward to coming back again with the RV and spend a few days. Rusty Dose Team Futaba

RE: TOC Zlin 526 by Bonnema/Lowe
TOC Zlin... Ken, thank you for posting the pictures and thank you for finding the box of goodies for Tom! There are a couple sets of prototype laser cut parts out in the field that your recent photos are inspiring to complete. Personally, I will have Mark Williams (see TOC Laser 200 build) frame up an "E" and glow fuselage and I will complete the foam parts. The glow will be powered by the Webra and the "E" will be the Rimfire 120 on 5s or 6s (See TOC Akromaster). The retracts will be the E-Flite electric units which are perfect for the Zlin application. The box of goodies contains the canopy and cowl original plug and molds...yippee! We just need Dick Hanson to provide/sell us a set of Bucker plans and we will have a complete set of the best models with the 84' Dalotel, 78' Akromaster, 78' Laser 200 and the 78' Zlin 526.

I will construct a custom motor box for the Super Tigre and Hacker versions. The Hacker version will also have the wing moved forward about an inch with a canalizer, wing and stab side force generators. Rusty Dose Team Futaba

RE: Dave Brown Ilusion
[b]The Tipo 750[/b] The photos show my Tipo 750 originally built by Dick hanson (the creator) somewhere around 1982/83 and recently painted and finished by Dave Guerin. The model is finished similar to Dave Brown's original, fiffering in the explicit wingtip and bottom of wing scheme...but pretty close. The model is powered by a YS .60 short stroke (round head) and weighs just over 8 pounds. The model was test flown the Friday before the Chicagoland Classic Pattern Championships (see attached PDF) and after a few flights that it is a really terrific model, particularly rolling manuevers. After the contest flew most of the P-11 sequence and decided that I would fly it the following weekend for the FVAC pattern contest. P-11- I flew the Tipo in 2/4 rounds and had a ball. Understand that the plane flies 100+ mph, is very load (APC 11 x 9 and Hatori pipe) and is just about impossible to keep it in the box! Snaps...well, a work in progress. 30 years of progress...Dave Snow's Spark and the Tiporare. Rusty Dose Team Futaba

RE: Look for classic pattern builder
The challenge is finding a builder that likes to build in wood and is also a good finisher and loading the goodies. You may find a builder, a seperate finsher and a yet different loader of electronics/mechanicals. It is not unusual for a high quality builder charge $1750 to complete an ARC, and $2250+ for a fiberglass/foam kit. Some charge by the hour and provide a detailed time and materials estimate and delivery time frame. Rusty Dose team Futaba

RE: Calypso and Supertigre G60 bluehead X series RE
[b]Calypso...fantastic airplane[/b]. I encourage you to build the Calypso. I built my model pretty close to Hanno's world championship version with the exception of the aileron size and location. I powered mine with the Super Tigre S61, which is a very powerful engine that is simple to operate and runs stronger and stronger with each tank. The X61 is an excellent engine and will run the best after 2-3 gallons of fuel. The flight capabilities are as good as any classic model I have flown assuming it is properly set-up. It would be possible to purchase an "S" or 1" rise header from Macs, cut off the flange and use a viton coupler to attach to the motor. Rusty Dose Team Futaba YS Parts and Service

[b]Scoop...Hangar Phoenix 7...wow it is a winner![/b] [b]I received my Hangar 9 Phoenix 7 and the E-Flite retracts last Friday...and it is just awesome! [/b] The fit, finish, included hardware are of the highest quality and when you consider the cost of acquiring a classic kit (about $300) and the materials to finish ($300+) and the labor to have a top builder complete ($1000+) the $339.95 is a great value. My kit came from Al's Hobby Shop of Elmhurst, IL which is one of the top model shops in the US and was part of a pre-sold order of (5) airplanes. This gives me greater confidence that the "classic pattern" space is relevant and may provide an interest level high enough to suggest businesses to deploy their precious capital to offer a few more. For proven witnessed performance, value and "plug and play' I will be using the Evo short stroke .61 and pipe combination. I have personally witnessed the engine vs. the same model with a Webra Speed.6/pipe and the OS .61/pipe of Mark Radcliff and believe the Evo is as powerful and consistent with an APC 11 x 7. A special thanks to Mike McConville and the folks at Hangar 9 for the creativity to offer the Phoenix 7 and of course to Don Lowe for his involvement. Crazy for Classics! Rusty Dose Team Futaba
