RE: What parts did you use to build your CMP P-51 140? (Build thread)
Hi again merlin man, the 90deg adaptor was purchased from a guy here on rcu http://rcspecialties.net/products.php?model=RCS14x75/90 and the flex pipe was a bit more local http://www.christiantraders.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=32&Itemid=23 i then had to cut the flex pipe to the desired length and then silver solder the brass threaded ends on to it. for the magnum / asp 180 this is a 14mm 0.75mm thread. Cheers Greg

RE: What parts did you use to build your CMP P-51 140? (Build thread)
Hey MM have a look at post 159 and 184 in this thread there are some photos of my asp180 install, i ditched the antivibe mount and glued with sika a 3mm aluminium plate over the stock ply mount, the install was quite easy pleanty of room. i did add an extension to the intake to stop some of the spitting out the carb throat. with static tests im turning a apc17x8 at about 8200-8300 this has more than enough pull to want to pull the whole plane verterticaly out of my hands. cant wait to get finnished and fly.

Looking good merlin man, looks like you are going with the moki, i have the asp180 in mine but yet to maiden, the whole project has been on the back burner for the last year, its nice to see some others progress as it will inspire me to get it back on the bench. Greg

Hi stan, i found an old potcore assembly off an old computer power supply and rewound it to suit, it is about 1" in diameter. the 560ohms is correct, it was a misprint on the parts list. regards Greg

RE: Nitro models pusher Bobcat?
Hi guys, i have finnished and flown my bobcat now and i am very impressed with the flight envelope, i am running an asp52 with a weston pusher pipe turning an apc 10x7 i havnt tached it yet but it howl's and also spring air retracts. landing was the one thing i was worried about after reading all the stories of bouncing etc but i found the landing to be a breeze with a nose high attitude ( it realy looks cool) the only issue i have is take off, it gets plenty of speed and really leaps off the ground at 45+deg and it is quite scary even pushing down elevator dosent help during the initial lift off, after a few seconds elevator response becomes good and you can level off ok, what have people done to minimise this tendency? i do have a positive angle of attack when sitting on the ground. i have used about 1/4" reflex on ailerons for landing should i try this for take off. Thanks Greg

Modeltech f20 tigershark
Hi all, i have just won nib one of these f20 tigersharks from that trading place, does anyone here know anything about it? it is an ARC not ARF so i will have to cover it myself. i like that as i can do any modifications more easily. i found this link www.daddyhobby.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=21174&d... to an ARF version and found that it is a foam core wing and retract compatable. again im not sure if the ARC is the same. i have a nib Os55 and a macs 1250 8.5cc muffled pipe for it, if it is retract ready i will have to fit them. any feedback on this would be apreciated. Cheers Greg

RE: power panel frying glow plugs
the last 2 pages, the final page is an update i found online which omits the switch sw1 and one of the 500ohm pots, this is how i built mine origionally as whilst operating sw1 you momentarly apply an open circuit to the feedback and this will blow a glow plug very quickly. also ignore my scribble.

RE: power panel frying glow plugs
MJD, i built my own power panel when i was in school back in the 80s, mine is like yours in that it uses an inductor and some complex control circuitry(but simple to build) to drive the plug, it has been totaly reliable and and great at clearing a flooded motor as it automatically increases the power to burn the fuel away, and it also backs the power off after the motor has started, an is very efficient. it was a magazine project here in Australia, i still have the plans for it. cheers Greg

RE: OS 55ax
Hi Dar, i have just pulled the heat gun out and warmed the head up a bit and it turns over smoothly, it didnt need anywhere near as much heat as my tower 75, i could still hold the head with bare hands. but it is still just too tight to turn over with out a preheat, hopefully after it has been run in it will smooth up and retain just a slight nip at tdc. cheers Gregor
