RE: WW I Biplane, 1/4 scale
Count on modifying the firewall with the rear carb.There is going to be a compromise,side carb with side muff. fits nice in a 1/4 scale with a round cowl.(Pup,Neiuport,Fokker DR1)Don't be afraid to use an old Zenoah type engine,they are heavy,but you will need the nose weight anyway.I built the BUSA DR1 and put a modern 28cc engine,came out tail heavy.Had to add nose weight.-Jeffo

RE: Taylorcraft crash
As a general rule about thread engagement,twice the length then the diameter,in other words,1/4" bolt has 1/2" engagement.I'm in the tool and die industry,if you have a steel bolt in a steel thread,1/4" bolt with a 1/4 thread depth has equal strength.You double the thread engagement for a safety factor.-jeffo

RE: Fokker Eindecker 90 by Balsa USA ?
I've built the kit,great first kit.It has a box fuse with slab sides that easily goes together.The air foil is flat bottom with no leading edge sheeting,just false ribs in between.The tail feathers are stick construction.Make a stronger horiz. stab spar.Mine broke while flying.It was a little tricky landing.This is the only flaw in the plane.-jeffo

What is the best method to apply the "streaking" on the Fokker triplane,the way the came out of the factory.I've heard of using a foam brush,it seem it would come out blotchy.Any advice would be helpful.-jeffo

RE: Balsa USA Fokker DR1 1/4 scale
I talked to Dave Lewis at BUSA,who designed the DR1.They found that the best set up on incidence is-1 degree pos. top wing,mid wing zero,bottom wing 1 degree neg.,stab 2 degrees pos.If your plane still wants to climb add more down thrust.He said there really is not a wrong way to set it up,it's all preference.-jeffo

RE: c117 crash
My son is a F-16 crew chief.He was telling me what the aircraft was doing was tactical take offs and landings.When these planes go into hotspots or less desireable air strips they have to be able to do these tight maneauvers.The aircraft are perfectly capable of doing them.He said choppers are the worst,hang on to your stomach.After meeting a lot of our nations finest,I wouldn't be quite so critical.They emphasize safety above and beyond more than anything.Just maintaining these air craft there are many hazards these service men have to deal with on a daily basis.Believe me it's not for the pay.
