RE: F-82
I am trying to find some slghtly smaller canopies to try to make the fuse look bigger, to give the illuson the airframe is bigger. Also are you going to put the horizontal stab in the center of the fin or in the stock location of the kit. I am torn between simplicity and having in the right spot.

RE: F-82
I've been tossing aroung the idea of doing one from the wreckage of 2 PTS mustangs I have. I was flying formation and got to close to my buddy (felt bad and bought him a new one). Would only need a center section of the wing and a new stab built. Just dont think it would look right being built out of D models instead of the H model they used for the F82.

RE: Dual elevator set up
Just use you atv to match the travel and full deflection. Also make sure one of the channels does not have more subtrim than the other and that arms are at 90 degrees.

RE: Need help with ID of this Cub
You could easily check to see if it is hanger 9 by the NC numbers. I belive all of Hanger 9's J3 Cubs use NC88073 the registratin of Pat Hartness' aircraft.

IMAC Airframe
I just decided to get into IMAC this year and was wondering what a decent airframe would be to start out with. My H9 Sukohi just does not seem to track as well as I would like it always need right rudder on uplines. Any suggestions, would perfer between 27% or larger.

RE: CH Electronics Syncro Spark Temperature Tolerance
More bad ignitions than the dates posted. One on a 3.2 FPE 050704, one on my H9 Sukhoi 5.8 FPE 050904 and one more on a Zenoha conversion 050604. Mine just failed today and the is no way it was heat related. 71 degrees outside and the engine would just not start. Grounded the white wire going into the ignition still no spark. Will be sending it in for warrenty. The other two planes landed deadstick.

RE: 1/3 Pitts Challenger
Here is what I have drawn up so far. The plan is shown with the stock rudder for comparison. It should 3D with these modifications if i can get the weight down to 12-13 lbs. Let me know what you think so far.

1/3 Pitts Challenger
Yesterday I crashed my GP 1/3 scale Pitts due to engine departure. I just started drawing up plans to modify the exsisting structure into a challenger. I am also going to lighten the airframe by 4 pounds. Would anyone be interested in having me post my progress and plans for the modification? Will post some pictures of the wrecked airframe as soon as it is back in the shop.

You can not use a JR receiver with a Futaba Tx the Jr is positive shift and the Futaba is negative shift. Besides it is blashpemy. [:D][:D]

RE: H9 Funtana. Saito 91?
Send the .52 back to Magnum. One of the guys at the field sent in one he had been running for a year and a half. They sent him a brand new .61 because he could not hand start it hot anymore. I am running a magnum .80 4s in my funtana with a 14x4w and it is an awsome combination. I have 5 magnums and I have never had a problem with any of them.
