RE: Top flite seafury build and kit bashed tempest
I used the 3/8" struts, however the robart gear that I used were not strong enough to do the job. I am not overall impressed with the robart air driven gear. If I ever do use them again, it will be on a lighter plane. I definately recomment the gas engine vrs the glow. I like the reliability of gassers.

RE: 50cc Edge V2 has landed
Just in case anyone is wondering about the paint that I used. The plane is covered in metallic blue monokote and I used auto-air pearl blue over there sealer black and it's almost a dead match. The metal flake in the paint is a little larger than in the monokote but the color is almost perfect. I am very pleased with the end result. On top of all that, the aircraft fly's great.

RE: 50cc Edge V2 has landed
I crashed my edge last fall and had to purchase a new airframe, of course you probably all know that they now longer carry the 540T so I bought the 88" 540. Well my canopy wings and tail survived the crash so since I was recovering the airframe anyway I decided to use the formers from the 540T fuselage and put the 2 place canopy on the new edge. everything fit very well, all the tail feathers are the same and with some small modifications to the wings, I beleive they will work as well. Well I got it done for the most part and maidened it tonight and lets just say that with the DLE 55 in it, it flies incredible. I'm very pleased so far. So I leave you with a couple of pics of my almost finished but flyable wild hare [b]88" edge 540T[/b][u][/u]

RE: The RCFW Hellcat Group Build
Ya, I got to sit in there thunderbolt two years ago. That airplane was definately made for the larger pilots. you've got room for days inside that beast. visability I think is better as well. I've also been in the P-39 and you can keep that one. Not quite as bad as the 109 but it's still a tight fit for anyone 6 foot tall. I've been in all the grumman cats and there great

RE: Top flite seafury build and kit bashed tempest
I finally got off my U know What and finished hooking up my new engine for this aircraft. I had a little trouble getting it started but my standard hi-tork starter turned over just fine. The needle valves needed some minor adjustment and then everything fell into place. I was limited to propellor size, my local HS only had a 16x4 apc so I bought that. After about a half a tank of fuel I tached it and got 9000 rpm's. The throttle response was the best I've seen or heard in a motor. With only one tank of fuel it's running great. Hopefully I'll have some inflight info for you guys by next week. Right now if it continues to run like it is, I'm sold. My glow engine's will be on ebay. Oh, and one other thing, it appears to be incredibly fuel effiecent.

RE: Kalamazoo AIR ZOO: FREE ADMISSION 2010
I as well have been many times and will continue to go. They have a great facility and they actually allowed me to climb on there p-39 for a detailed photo shoot. They are really a very freindly musuem. That has been changing a little in the last few years with the building of the new hanger and cancellation of the airshows. They don't allow visits to the resoration hanger unless previously arranged anymore so alot of there aircraft you don't even get to see.. I do think they could fit more in there new building than what they do. People come to see aircraft, not floor paintings. But with all that said, they do keep there stuff in top notch shape.

RE: Top flite seafury build and kit bashed tempest
I bought the rcgf 20cc rear induction engine to try on the fury. I've got the engine hung sut of course winter is here and I am not in a huge hurry to go out into the cold and try to break in an engine. There's still alot to do on the plane since I removed all of the electronics (was going to sell but the gentlemen backed out after I removed everything ). [:@] Anyway, I'm hoping this new engine improves the performance and reliability. I had a very worn 91 fx in it.

RE: Kalamazoo AIR ZOO: FREE ADMISSION 2010
Sorry, I don't mean to sound bitter. They really do have an excellent facility and do keep there aircraft in presteen condition. I'm just a big fan of the cats and there are very few places where you could go to see all of them in one place. I'm still not sure why they felt the need to sell what made there museum. I would have rather seen the thunderbolt and corsair go instead of the cats and the corsair is my favorite.

RE: Kalamazoo AIR ZOO: FREE ADMISSION 2010
I guess that i'm not aware of the p-38 that they have and also they might as well change there name since they sold there bearcat and tigercat. Probably to pay for all the jets they seem to concentrating on. who knows when they'll sell the rest of there cat collection.

RE: New JetJoe J-Junior 4lbs turbine
[quote]ORIGINAL: jason After many hours trying to get the JJJ running right I have given up. I managed to break two new rear bearings yesterday so that's 6 bearings the engine has had in total. I recon I must have had the thing apart 30 times and although I could see nothing wrong the blighter still would not run properly. I really thought with a little persistence I could have cracked the thing but unfortunately my supply of expensive bearings ran out before that so I have called it a day. I have now disposed of it and it is out of my life forever, thank god!! Now I need another nano engine... Jason [/quote] Hey Jason, did you really can it??? I would package it all up nicely and send it right back with a nice Big Letter explaining all that you have been through... Tell them to get it going... Are you going for a Kolibri or waiting for the Cat... Can't wait to get a Nano as well just waiting a bit longer to see what comes along... Happy Flying!!! Mojo

[quote]ORIGINAL: j.duncker Great video Jason and congrats to Andy for showing that the JJJ runs. It takes the whole turbine flying business from tarmac runways into the local park. Hmm and it is quiet too. Jet Joe should package it fitted into a RTF Twin jet clone. Hmm I THINK I am serious about this? [/quote] Hello J, just wondering where you can fly a turbine in a local park... I flew a couple of times in a nice park in Italy but not with a turbine, just electric prop...Would be nice if you could just fly a small turbine jet anywhere. Could you fly a Twinjet or a Funjet without wheels or brakes anywhere that you felt was safe or are you regulated to an AMA firld to operate a turbine... Happy Flying!!! Mojo
