RE: LAST BUILD
The straightest and most beautiful Aerostar 20 you've ever seen... Finish my hobby the way I began it. I love it when things come full circle.

Kadet Senior engine mount
I'm trying to mount a Saito 56 on a Kadet Senior. The supplied engine mounts from SIG, have a brace on each side of the mounting rail that wont clear the needle valve unless the engine is mounted fairly far forward on the beam, about 3/4" forward from what the plans call for. Can I mount the engine this far forward without any negative effect on handling, or can I trim the brace a bit so the needle valve will clear it..? Thanks..!

RE: Flying RC Planes
It's a hobby... I cant really define what a sport is, but I know one when I see one, and I'm sorry folks but flying model airplanes doesn't cut it. I'm sure most athletes would laugh their tails off if you tried to convince them otherwise.

RE: False firewall
Thanks for the replies..! The more I thought about it I'm just going to continue "per the plans" with the stock firewall and keep things simple. I was concerned about the firewall looking like swiss cheese at some point, but I'll cross that bridge if I ever get there... [8D]

False firewall
So I'm building a Kadet Senior, and would like to be able to swap engines in the future. I saw an earlier post that mentioned installing a "false firewall" to make this easier. I'm assuming this is a firewall that mounts to an existing firewall that's epoxied to the airframe. Is this correct and what's the most common way to accomplish this..? Thanks..!

RE: It's 2010 now, where do you see the hobby going this decade?
Glow will be around for a long time. Gas will become more popular. Kit cutting services will grow in popularity due to the lack of full kits. The whole business of this [i]hobby[/i] being referred to as a [i]"sport"[/i] will thankfully go away. [8|]

RE: White Monokote and Sig
For what it's worth, I ordered a Kadet Senior on 11/25 and recieved it about three weeks later. When I placed the order I was told it would take 6-8 weeks to ship since it was on backorder. I was pleasantly suprised when it showed up early..!

RE: Question - Why do we promote clubs?
Without help, which usually comes from a club, a new modelers chance of failure is very high. Which also means thay will probably walk away from the hobby never to return.
