Thinking about a Ziroli Ercoupe, need input.
I am thinking about building an Ercoupe, and the Ziroli 415C is just the right size. I will be using electric power, so I will make a lot of mods to the airframe. Looking for any input anyone may have on this build. Also would be intersted in any new or used accesories (cowl, gear etc.) anyone may have from an abandoned project.

RE: Sig Ryan STA
I have built a lot of older kits, and I have only encountered 1 issue with them. The wood is usually much drier than normal, so CA glue may not cure. If the kit was stored in a controlled environment, this may not be an issue. Just test a few scraps with CA before you start, if you plan to use CA. It's not a problem for me as I don't use it lot anymore.[;)]

RE: Saxton Glass AT-6 info
Been a while since the Saxons showed up, but if I remember correctly (and I may not), they were spashes of the Byron or Ziroli designs. Pretty sure it was Ziroli.

RE: Midwest T-6 retract installation
Silicone glue or GOOP. Just a small amount, so if for some reason you need to replace it, you can get it out. The only reason it needs any glue, is to keep it from rotating with vibration, and twisting air hose into a pinch.

[quote]ORIGINAL: kurt2022 There are less people interested in the hobby! The hey day of radio control has long passed, we are the few last relics of the ''rc era''! [/quote] I think, that to a point, that is exactly whats happening. A lot of it has to do with loss of flying sites. Used to have a big RC community here in the Corpus area, but now due to loss of flying sites, there is very little. The diehards are flying wherever we can find a place to fly, and for the most part, they are small areas, so that means smaller, simpler, models and less to discuss.

RE: FlyBoyshobbies Me162 & Blohm & Voss 141
I put 2 more flights on mine today. I have to say, this is a really nice flying aircraft, if set-up with info in this thread. No bad habits. It's rather fast too at full throttle. I set my CG right at about 6.5". Does an abrupt pitch up when the gear are dropped, but that is to be expected. Not at all uncontrolable. A friend took video, so I will put up a link as soon as it's posted.

RE: Texas RC Wholesale ???????
[quote]ORIGINAL: fastplane Only big problem with any of these discount ARF suppliers is lack of replacement parts. They mostly just carry boxes of planes and have little or no spare parts. Manuals are bad. Example: if you need a new wing for a Texas RC plane you will likely be out of luck. If cost is your only point and you never crash your planes then go for it. [/quote] Texas R/C Planes does support the models they sell with parts. I just got a cowl for a his (Fly Boys) Me 163 from him.

RE: FlyBoyshobbies Me162 & Blohm & Voss 141
I picked up one of these at a swap meet a couple weeks ago. Converted it to electric with a 400Kv motor on 5s. Got a short flight yesterday and it looks like all the CG, and throw info, listed on this thread is pretty darn close. Canopy came of so I cut the flight short. I need to work on the the latch system a bit. BTW, Texas R/C Planes has got some red 163s coming in a few days, and they also have parts for them. The one I got was glow powered, so I ordered a new cowl from them.

Need help setting up Elevons on SD-10G
I am trying to set-up my radio for an Me163 with elevons. I tried glider mode but then I cannot get a throttle channel. I tried delta wing, but that only gets me 1 aileron servo. I also tried tailerons but that make elevator correct but ailerons are wrong direction. Now I am frazzled.[&:] Any ideas? I cannot find any reference to elevons in the manual. Thanks.

RE: Wing Mfg P-38 Electric Build
Second boom and gondola are framed up now. Was able to mock-up the bird to check the stance and gear set-up. May need to extend the nose gear about a 1/2" to get the stance just right, but it's pretty damn close. Next I need to work on the wing. The outboard panels will be removable, so I need to set up the joiners. I will be using a set similar to SIG blade and socket type, instead of the dowels in tubes shown on the plans. I used to dowels in the aluminium tubes on my first one, and on humid days, I had trouble getting the wings on or off.
