I have to temporarily disable AVG to even be able to log in. Otherwise I get the Exploit I/Frame injection (1707) threat.

Running AVG 2012 paid version and get the HTML/Framer alert and can't access the marketplace. Also I have Malwarebytes installed, and if I disable AVG to access the marketplace... Malwarebytes detects a virus.

RE: work out Strut and Door open/close geometry
Have a look at the gear retraction on this SM MB339. You can get a general idea of the attach points on the door & strut. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkqJI2_asCo&feature=related

[quote]ORIGINAL: stevekott Good call Doug, Yes that's me from LZ-53.   Thanks for you good suggestions on my T-Birds Flash.  In fact tonight I'm working on the Ultra-Flash conversion. Countryboy I think you nailed it.  I was told that the plane was originally built by Shalish Patel but that it hadn't been flown.  It's been through a few owners but I didn't realize

RE: yellow aircraft f14 tomcat-
When I first saw this F-14 in the marketplace, it brought back old memories. It shows a strong resemblance to the one Shailesh Patel built back in the 90's . I remember Patel's being entered in the Weaks Toledo show. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Model-Aviation-Magazine-May-1994-Shailesh-Patel-F-14-B-17-Gathering-/390450004671

[quote]ORIGINAL: TimWatson Here is a novel idea. Only fly one plane in the air at a time [/quote] Novel idea, I seriously doubt it ! I dare say there would have been a lot of pissed off pilots if Lewis only allowed one in the air at a time with this many aircraft in the startup area waiting to fly.

RE: Jet legend F-4
Jason, On your takeoff roll, are you gradually feeding in up elevator or pulling all at once when you are ready to rotate. If it's the latter, then thats why the F-4 is jumping off. Mine is flying great at the 315 mm CG setting. It could possibly use a little weight out of the front, but I'm not sure I would want to move it a full inch further aft. Mine does require a little forward pressure on the stick while inverted.

RE: Longest Eurosport build ever....
David, Thanks for the heads up. I suspected the vertical fin as being a weak point. I did away with the original short spar & cut a a new 12 mm c/f spar that goes all the way to the top of the vertical leading edge. I will also be adding a second former to help stiffen the fuse & adding a second spar closer to the leading edge. I may also fill the pocket surrounding the vertical base with expandable foam to help stiffen the fuse. Hopefully, this will curtail any flutter issues with the vertical.

Purchased one of the original Fiberclassic Eurosports from Don Kanak of Planes Plus at Superman 2002, and just now getting to the point of doing the radio equipment install. The Euro is outfitted with full gear doors, full length intake ducts (no bypass), speed brake & semi cockpit detailing. Power will be a JC P-120 blowing through a Tam bifurcated pipe & scale nozzles.

I personally use these http://dreamworksrc.com/catalog/airline-quickconnects-assembly-five-p-791.html they are great ! I clean out the housings occasionally with q-tips and some o-ring lube. For servo leads i use DB9 connectors and that leaves no connections at all to be made for me .. just slide wing on, and that it ... ~V~ [/quote] I just installed the 3-way Airpower quick connects in my Eurosport, and while it may make field assembly quicker...I found that they are a PITA to install.
