RE: CURARE 1/2 A TRIBUTE TO A CHAMPION !
David it's correct wing tips are glassed, it will help to strenght tips from scratch in paved runway. About the cowl im going to remove it and build a new one, the way you did with your PICO, so lines will be more clean, I was worried about engine heat but talking with Andy convinced me this is no big issue. Regarding the fuse strenght I added CF to triangles from LE to tail, fuse is very stiff compared to other's i drilled , like my second PICO. Here are some more pictures

RE: Scoop! Hangar 9 Phoenix 7...ARF!!!
[quote]ORIGINAL: MMcConville We chose the P7 for a few reasons. First, it was quite popular in the mid-late 70's and is as likely to succeed as any of the top classic designs from that era. Its a personal project for myself as well. Watching Dave Brown, Mark Radcliff and Don Lowe as a kid is probably the biggest reason I do what I do today. They were my childhood heros and in the days when they flew the P5 through the P7 I would watch and dream of flying with them one day. Fortunately Don Lowe is as much of a gentleman as he is a famous airplane designer and very graciously worked with us to do the P-7. [/quote] Mike thanks for your reply, I thought main reason was : it's an american design and great flier. Hope P7 becomes a succesful seller and in the near future H9 may consider developing other CPP's like CURARE, AURORA, BLUE ANGEL etc ......so many to choose out. Congratulations great project.

RE: Stock Intruder
You can use Lipo's or A123 over 6 volts without using regulator with AR7000 recievers, they handle 4.8 to 9 volts without problems, you can also use lipo for Tx ( Spektrum ask not to) lots of pilots use lipos in Tx and have never heard about any troubles. This is the best option i've found till now, not expensive and a life insurance for your planes. http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8272&Product_Name=ZIPPY_Flightmax_2100mAh_2S3P_Receiver_Pack_
