RE: Larger Revolver
Well, after 8 months of beating on this airplane, I finally pranged it...... As I was pulling (pushing) out of a LOW (10' or so) inverted pass, my ultra reliable ST G90 dead sticked for the first time in it's 7 years of abuse, at about 50' above the ground, nearly vertical. Once I got the thing upright and pointed back at the field, I ran out of airspeed, altitude and ideas. She pancaked in at about a 20 degree angle, nose down. Fortunately, it had about zero airspeed, so the only damage was to the main gear mount, the tailwheel mount and the Slimline pitts muffler. I've already fixed the tailwheel, and ordered a new Bisson for the engine. The main LG mount delaminated (gotta love Chinaply) and pulled all 4 of the blind nuts through the wood. This was actually a blessing, as the surrounding structure was almost undamaged. I've got it cut out and and already made a new mounting plate. I'll get the thing all put back together tomorrow.... I've said it before, and I'll say it again. This thing is the best bang for the buck beater airplane I've ever had.......

RE: Larger Revolver
[quote]ORIGINAL: mudboger07 I've got the st90 with a pitts muffler installed in my revolver 70 and it does great, good speed and good power when needed. [/quote] +1..... I have always been a "if a little is good, more is better" kind of guy when it comes to pretty much anything, especially RC airplanes. To me, a .40 size airplane really means it needs a .60. That said, the ST G-90 is the PERFECT engine for the R70. You're not gonna get a whole lot more speed out of more engine with this airframe, maybe a little better vertical and quicker acceleration on takeoff. Once you start to need tail weight to offset the engine weight, as well as adding weight to strengthen the thing to handle the extra power and weight, you are in the area of diminished returns, IMHO. All I did was beef up the gear (main and tail) in mine. I have been flogging it like a rented mule since January with the ST G-90 and it's been perfect. Great everyday flyer. My "go fast" planes are old school ballistic pattern ships. You know you have a screamer when the old guys at the field all step back a few paces when you rev up a Rossi at 14k+ rpm!

RE: edelbrook 600 bog
If you're not getting a pump shot with minimal deflection, your pump is probably dried out or cracked. Also, if it's an older one, it might not be impervious to the ethanol in the fuel, causing it (and other stuff in your fuel system!) to deteriorate. Is it the Quadrajet replacement, or the Carter type?

Hold her a foot or two off the ground, bleeding airspeed, and then flare to the 3-point landing. [/quote] X1000 Get the airspeed down, and she won't bounce.

RE: Larger Revolver
[quote]ORIGINAL: wjcalhoun 'Better plane' can always spark a debate. Truthfully, my favorite plane is my 25% Extra OS 1.20AX combo - about twice the price of the R70 for the airframe, plus larger (pricier) engine, and probably stronger servos as well. The Extra is a better aerobatic plane, with better snaps, axial rolls, stall turns, flat spins, etc. The R70 is a very capable, and fun, plane to fly. To my way of thinking, the R70 is a very good value. If you are new to the hobby, it is a little more forgiving than an Extra/Edge/Cap, but not a lot. I would be sure that you are pretty comfortable with your 'second plane' - a Sig 4Star, Pulse XT, etc (low wing sport) before you commit to the R70. [/quote] Agreed on all counts. Better is very subjective! The R-70 is a great all around fun flying airplane, pretty well built, low "hassle factor and is a great value. It's definitely not the "best" aerobatic airplane, IMHO, but it's pretty darn good. It'd make a great 2nd or 3rd airplane once you've mastered the basics with a trainer. My all around favorite, just for boring holes in the sky airplane that I've ever had is my Jerry's Big Boy (before that, I'd have said a Ugly Stik type), as it will do everything, except go fast and the KE leaves a little to be desired. Classic pattern planes are right up there too. They go right where you point them and carve the most graceful holes in the sky. Dealing with the retracts on grass is a PITA though.

[quote]ORIGINAL: DonLEmmel Inside loops are perfect. So I'm more than likey pushing too much elevator and stalling it. I'll double check elevator tracking but I'm pretty sure thats fine since it tracks fine in other manuevers using elevator. [/quote] Mine gets snappy while inverted when the airspeed is low. I attribute it to the semi symmetrical airfoil, and washout. I can horse it around a lot more while inverted when the airspeed is up. I've also got as much physical throw, without stalling the servos, as I can have in all surfaces (no expo or DR), which compounds the issue. My Sig Kougar did the same thing for the same reason 30 years ago. It's no problem, just something to be aware of with this type of wing. The up side is it allows it to do the most effortless, and perfect Lomcevaks as well as lowers the stall speed when upright. I've still got that coupling when in knife edge. It's fine at about half throttle, but pulls towards the gear at higher airspeeds.

A representative from the FAA came to inspect the plane at Detroit Metropolitan Airport, according to Hogan. She said the National Transportation Safety Board was expected to further the investigation. Three flight crew and two mechanics were onboard the 747-100 aircraft that was transporting merchandise from China to New York. No injuries were reported. Kalitta Air executives were meeting Thursday to review the plane's maintenance records and determine what caused the engine to fall. Kalitta Air, which is based at Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti, began service in November 200 with three jets.

But I have a YS 1.20 in the Dream 110 I bought in February!  If I go Rhom Air I'll use the hand pump rigged with a PSI gage, no leaks on the bench test so far. I do like the mechs as you said, once set up they work great. I want to use some of what I have to save a few bucks (oldest one gets married in June!) right now.  I did install the Fut 3152s yesterday. Has anyone noticed the geometry of the aileron servo pushrod to control horn is off by a few degrees? I like to set up the linkage with as little offset as possible (that is pushrod at 90 degees to output shaft/arm). Maybe that's for the aileron dif (but I can set that up with the Tx).  As for the supplied pushrods, I might swap them for CF tubes, but right now I was surprised at the stiffness once connected to the servos and surfaces so I may go with it.  Ditto on the 11x71/4 Rev-Up, I have some Zinger 7 1/4s so I'll start with those and perhaps switch to the APC.  Okay, what about the spinner, supplied or get an aluminum one (no brainer eh)?  What pipe/header length are you at with the Rossi set-up Tim? It should be a good start pointing point, maybe start 1/2 to 3/4 inches longer. I'll be looking at the steering issue too. Anyone using a smaller servo for the throttle? I was thinking of using a Fut 3115 since I have a few extras. One more thing, any ideas on beefing up the landing gear mounts? I will brush some 30 minute epoxy in there as best I can but should I add some balsa bracing or glass to the area as well?  Plan is to maiden her weekend of May 6, it'll give me time to set her up and practice. All very helpful Tim, appreciate it and definately see you in Chicago!. Mark [/quote] I'm running a Rossi .61 RE on mine and it is a rocket. 14,200 with an APC 11-7. As for the main gear mounts, I glassed every joint I could get at without cutting the wing open. It has held up well so far on a bumpy grass field. The firewall and nosegear needed some reinforcement on mine too. It took a minor bump to completely dislodge the firewall and nose gear mount from the fuse on mine. I would go over the edges with some 6 oz cloth and resin. I did this on mine when I rebuilt it, and it's held up great. I used the normal cable steering on the nose, but I need to put some kind of centering spring on it, because when it retracts, about half the time, the wheel will cock to one side and hang up on the side of the fuse.

Many of the 3D planes are set up this way... [/quote] LOL... It was expected, and I like the snap characteristics the way it is now. I can yank and bank it without it inadvertently snapping out of the turn, but it will do a full stall snap (vs. a spiral). I am not a 3d kind of guy (although I am willing to learn) and rarely use expo or mixing. That said, I've found a little expo on the elevator makes life easier on tail heavy airplanes. I started RC when even dual rates were considered high end items only found on the most expensive radios. I've owned computer radios since 1990 (Airtronics Vison was the first one), and the only mixing I've ever done was for flaperons, elevons, and gear/elevator to make up for the trim change when the gear retracts. I just got a SD-10G, and feel like I am only using 1/1000th of the capabilities this thing has! I figure that the R70 is as good as any to learn this old dog some new tricks. Have any of you guys figured out a decent mix to get this thing to knife edge? This thing needs a lot of stick manipulation to keep it going straight in knife edge, and I figure this would be a good place to start.

It snaps great, will start to flatten out in an inverted flat spin(it still won't hold altitude, and I'm not sure it is even capable of it....), and require about 2mm of down when inverted. The elevator is a smidge touchy on landing, but I'm gonna leave it like this a while. There was another guy at the field with his R70, and we got to compare notes.
