RE: Spook 96
I have 2 Maloney engines, one 100 converted to diesel and other is an 125 stock, both are getting dust. Tried both on a 90 size GP Piper, did fly it but no more. The instructions say nothing important.

Now the woodwork. Its very straightforward. Only very few deviations from plan, the radio access will be from the bottom.

RE: Looking for Goldberg Ranger 42 ARF Plans
Hi guys: Seems that i never did post pictures of my "home made" wood version of the Ranger 42. See my early posts. I does fly FANTASTIC on a Norvel 0.074 and four channel radio. I made it from original plans just follow the contours and the wing root. Its always nice to build again your very first RC plane.

RE: MIGHTY BARNSTOMER
I did order the much needed balsa wood to "The Balsa Store" but shipment is on hold because of some Paypal problem with the founds. Meanwhile, i began working on the cowling. My friend found the original plug made in hard wood that was used to make the fiberglass mold. Just imagine, all that work to make one pice. I will be extending it to fit any 120 four cycle engine.

RE: MIGHTY BARNSTOMER
[size=2]If you go back to post #1 you¨ll see the model i am after. It has a Webra 61 speed from the 80´s and it fly VERY well at Mexico City altitude. No is not a 3D, nor i dont want such a plane!! The plane is similar to a Telemaster or a Kadet Senior, but somehow different.... has an semisimetric airfoil an is little hevier. The DLE 20 seems too big for this.[/size]

By the way, the guy in the photo is Max Betancourt, owner of the plane. Now some progress on the building.... Build will be OLD SCHOOL, so there will be no laser cutting. Wing pattern is made in alumminum, its original one used by y friend.

MIGHTY BARNSTOMER
Hi everybody: I am from Mexico City, please excuse my English. Friend of mine still has a Mighty Barnstormer, intact and flying for more than 30 years!!! See photos, has an Webra speed .61 on the nose and is covered on silk & dope. I always liked that plane, the idea is to make it around an OS 91 Surpass, so it got to be light. I am starting to build (copy) the "large" version (72" wingspan) of the famous Dave Boddingtons Barnstormer.

RE: Sig Kadet Mark II Build
Hi Kadet MKII builders: I have been flying a Kadet MK I (no ailerons) for a looong time. Someone else build it (crooked) in the seventies. IMHO the plane if built as the plans makes a fantastic flyer, second to none as a plane to make fly-by or touch-and-go´s all day. Never ever crashed!!! This is really incredible! Many people have learned to fly on it. Recently i also made some fine wather-landings. I recently tried to repair the fuselage but is was all oil soaked, so i will replace the fuselage and recover it. I will try to post photos when available.

YS 120 SF regulator problem
Hi Dave; I have an old YS 120 SF (first ones) engine, it was running ok until now. At a given moment the engine (between flights) the engine did not start. I did everything imaginable to the tank, lines and hi needle with no results. I did have to check the regulator, seem to be clean. The engine only starts at full throttle, and dies if lower than half throttle. The regulator is not working (apparently). The tank has good pressure even 1 minute after the engine dies. Regulator is immaculately clean; the holes have been flushed with a syringe and some fuel line. The silicone parts are ok and the gasket seems ok (I know is a trouble some part) the knob on the regulator is toward the front. Only problem I see is that the plunger once inserted into the regulator body. Any thoughts? Alexis Sorry, my English is not good.
