RE: SPA Dirty Birdy
Skip, Good looking Dirty Birdy ! May be stretched and tweaked a bit ..... but that's fine by me. I picked up one of Vic Koenig's modified Dirty Birdy's (for OS .914S) at a recent SPA contest. I strayed from the original even more by using electric power. I also copped my color scheme from Vince (Crankpin). Ed

RE: New Pacific Aeromodel Clip Wing Monocoupe
Jimbo, check yer mail. Yeah, mine flys with an extremly low tail, and I can't figure it out! [>:] It's like the horizontal stabilizer doesn't have enough area to hold it's rear end up. It balances exactly where the manual sez it should, but it looks like hell while flying ! [:o] What can I do to make it look decent in flight ? ? ? Ed

RE: Cox Pica 1/5 Scale Waco ARF
After flying Master Scale for almost 30 years I fly now for myself. Flying wires and all the little nits are great but when having to assemble the bird each time I go to the field I feel they are overated. They add nothing to the flying capabilities and cannot be seen outside 20 feet. If I was back on the circuit you bet I would have them installed but for day to day flying I'll have to pass. I am a believer in the KISS principle and brought up on Murphy's Law. I currently fly three bipes and thats all my van can carry at once.

RE: DA50-Popping noise in flight
This is incredible! My DA-50 started doing the same thing. I checked out the carb and it was clean as a whistle. Upon inspecting the ig system I noticed one of my tie down strips partially cut one of the wires leading into (or out of) the ignition box. Sent it into DA who still has it for repair. But I can't see why that would cause the problem. Have any of you solved the problem or found the cause? It's amazing the problem only occurs in flight. On the ground I can run a whole tank through and it doesn't do it?

RE: fibreglass for .40 aerobatic plane?
I would suggest you do it in the time honoured way. Make a master plug. From it make a mold. With an accurate mold you can make as many fuselages, cowls and wheelpants as you wish for the rest of your life. Ed S

RE: U-Can-Do 3D, fuel foaming issue.
All of the foaming issues and some others can be solved by using "Tettra Bubbleless" tanks. No foamimg issues, no bubbles, no burnt fuel going into the tank through the pressure line AND, a syringe is not needed to fill them. I use them in my Pylon Racers and in all of my sport planes. http://www.centralhobbies.com/Fuel/Fueltnk.html See pictures.

RE: Anyone know this plane?
It is a Skylark twin. The canopy is too long and looks like one from a Kaos or something else, but the wing construction is pure Goldberg. The swept fin and built-up stab also identify it as a Skylark.

RE: Need ideas to fabricate a CF landing gear
This might not be a good idea. Carbon in a composite structure is usualy there to add stiffness and it certainly does. A landing gear usually has some flexibility. Most all of the carbon gears I have seen delaminate at the "Bend" close to the fuselage. Ed s
