RE: SPADSTICK QUESTION
[quote]ORIGINAL: A6TEXAN finally flew the aircraft today. excellent flights. only 2 clicks of down elevator trim and 1 click right aileron and she flew hands off.[b] had a funny tail waggle [/b]that i didnt like though. could have just been the windy day. i find out on a calm day. [:D] [/quote] Congrats. on the maiden flight !!! The tail waggle wasn't flutter was it ? With the bigger engine and prop wash produced, I've found out that flutter can be a problem. Try stiffening up the stablizer and vertical fin with bamboo skewers for extra support.

Use a Dynathrust 18 X 10 with good results. Don't do much 3-D stuff though, just general flying. Have on a midwest extra 300.

RE: Stripped back plate threads
[quote]ORIGINAL: SrTelemaster150 Check the depth of the hole against the screw. You may be abll to use a slightly longer screw to catch some remaining threads in the bottom of the hole. [/quote] As luck would have it, only the top threads were damaged. I was able to use a longer bolt and reach the bottom threads to tighten the back plate firmly against the needle stay. Was careful this time not to over-tighten and strip again. Thanks to all who offered advice. Hope I can return the favor some time. Cary

Stripped back plate threads
Was putting on a replacement needle valve stay on my .46 AX and over tightened and stripped the threads on the backplate so now the 3 x 8 mm hex screw will not tighten. With this, it will not run correctly (air leak). Is there a fix for this ? Is there another screw (larger) that can be substituted here if tapped for it ? Another option would be to purchase a replacement crankcase. Thanks Cary

Figuring wing loading
Simple question here: Built a plane that has a weight of 6 lbs. even (weighed with electronic fish scale) and has a wing surface area of 720 sq. in (12 in. chord by 60 in. length). Now the ailerons are 2 in. in width. Should the chord be 14 in. ? Do you figure in the ailerons when figuring the wing loading ? Thanks Cary

RE: Where can you buy O-Rings Small Enough for Our Engines?
Do you really want to trust your investment to "foreign O rigs" that might cause the engine to fail in flight-possibly your plane as well ? Bite the bullet like you did-Hope you bought more than 1 set of rings to offset the shipping cost. I've been in similar situations where the shipping was more than the product ordered and "rationalized" the purchase by buying several of the product. Who knows, maybe you can help a fellow modeler who needs this O ring in the future >

RE: Boca bearings for OS .35 AX
Thanks freakingfast for taking the time to explain this to me. I don't want to sound like a "Nervous-Nellie", but this is my 2nd OS .35 AX. On the first one, the ball bearings actually left the housing and destroyed the engine. As long as you can see a smoke trail coming out of the muffler while running, does this show that you are not running too lean and that oil is passing out of the engine-lubricating the moving parts ?

RE: Is this pathetic? Or obsessive? The most work no one will ever notice.
Question is....Did you have fun and enjoyment in fixing the stripes on the stab ? I too do alot of things that wouldn't necessarily need to be done, but do anyways for the love of the hobby. I do like the looks of the stab you completed. Even if you cannot tell it when flying, you know it was done and that's all that matters.
