RE: Need Help with my Graupner Tipsy!!!
run the tape along the bottom of the wing, from tip to fuselage, because the wing flexes when pulling g's. When looking at it from the front, the wings will look like the letter U. Using balsa on that plane is total weight overkill. I ran a strip of the wide packing tape along bottom of wing, and another strip along the length of fuselage. Have 100+ flights so far.

[quote]ORIGINAL: rsCVN-71 When I got home the center hole on the prop is to large for the motor shaft. So how do I go about fixing this Thanks Randy [/quote] You need a Prop Shaft Reamer. I have used a drill bit for 2 blade props in the past, and then made sure they were balanced corectly. I am not advocating the use of drill bit's in place of a prop reamer. ****EDIT**** Sorry, didn't realise you said the hole was too big. If the holw is too big, you cannot use this propeller.

The ground handling on mine wasn;t that great, so I replaced the tailwheel with this one. It was a direct swap, and now it ground handles nice and straight at all speeds. Maybe its because it's a little bigger. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0001P?&I=LXFU89 Sullivan T-4 Tailwheel 1-1/2"

Howdy, I'm planning on putting an O.S. FL-70 onto my old NexStar. Does anyone know if I'll be able to use the original engine mount ? I'm hoping that I'll just be able to swap motors without haviong to install a different engine mount. Thank you for any info, Ramone P.S. If you ask "Why ?", I'll answer "Why Not ?" ;)

I've been doing a lot of fishing lately, after a 5 year hiatus. Can someone help me ID these fish I've been catching ? I always assumed the fish in the 1st picture was a small mouth bass, please correct me if I am incorrect, but never had any idea about the 2nd one.
