RE: Hawker Typhoon rises from the ashes!
Hi Chris, Sorry to hear about you mother-in-law. I hope things go well, and that she is feeling well soon. Ken Park sent me a picture of the Tempest on take-off roll, just as the tail was coming up. [image]http://members.aol.com/rwdrc/tempsmall.jpg[/image] Note that since I use "scale" doors, but not a scale wheel well location, I fly without the doors. It makes no difference in the air, but the plane would look really cool on take-off and landing, if it had doors. The wheels come up slightly out of sync (deliberate, for scale effect), which produces a small tail wag. I thought that was pretty neat. I didn't notice any real difference in the handling with the bombs on board, though there may have been a slight decrease in speed. They certainly make the plane much easier to see when it is coming straight towards you, as the wing is very thin on a Tempest, as you well know. If I can get a buddy to fly it, and I am allowed, I may do a V1 interception as a scale maneuver in the NAT's. JFZ was on "anti diver" patrol at the time that it is modeled after. The Tempests did some glide bombing later, but I don't know if JN 808 was equipped to handle bomb-dropping. Some did not have wings set up for it, though nearly all Tempest II's could handle bombs, rockets, or drop tanks.

RE: Hawker Typhoon rises from the ashes!
Hey Chris, I had the little Tempest Mk V (the one in the green ads) up at SMALL out in Ottawa today. The paved runway allowed me to use the retracts, and taking off of wheels allowed me to (finally!!!!) use the bomb drops. Fast, super smooth, and virtually unaffected by the bombs! Nat's, here I come! Ron

RE: what prop for an cobalt geared ASTRO 05?
If you mean the 2.38:1 stock gear box, then...... 11 x 8 1/2 to 11 x 10 APC-E prop for the propellor, and, yes, any good servo with more than about 16 oz-in of torque will work OK. A Thunder Power 4200 3s2p or similar will be needed for a battery pack, with this set-up. Expect to draw 40+ A on take-off. Ron Daniels
