RE: Evo .46 Question
There should be a black spring clip that ratchets against the needle valve adjustment. That should be enough to keep it in place. If it's missing it needs to be replaced. If it is still there you could try to bend it to make it fit tighter against the needle adjustment. That set screw is used if you want to put a extension on the needle valve and that holds it in place. You wouldn't need it in your set up. Hope this helps

RE: TP Gold Edition P-47 or P-51
I broke down and picked up the P-51 to build this winter. I don't think you can go wrong with either of them. I'm still planning out all the little things that are going in it though.

RE: ARF with Smoke System Suggestions
I just finished putting the smoke system in my Great Planes Super Stearman. A lot of room to put a tank and smoke pump in it.

RE: Watcha Buildin'?
Top Flite Gold Edition P-51 Kit, Tiger 60 kit, and 4 boxed up ARFS that have been sitting all summer while I fly. My hangar is going to double over the winter and my wife is certainly not happy about it. [:D]

RE: Evolution Glow Engine Success Story
I've run nothing but OS, Thunder Tiger, and Saito. I bought my first Evolution 36 from a guy who insisted the thing wouldn't run right but for $50 buck I figured I would take it and put it in an uproar I was building. Long story short I flew the uproar for the first time today and the Evolution was rock solid. I'm not a great engine tuner but a couple of the guys in my club are and the thing is running like a champ. I don't know what the guy who owned it before me was doing but this engine has great power and was rock solid today. Best part is it only cost me $50 for a never flown engine.

RE: Finding Parts for Discontinued GP ARF - Extra 300S 40
I just retired that same plane but I didn't worry so much about looks and found a cowl that was close. Unfortunately I don't know which one I used. I'd send you my belly pan but it is all busted up and held together with bubble gum or whatever I could find at the field. Very good plane for sport aerobatics though. John
