RE: P-40 Brotherhood (All P-40's Welcome)
Thank you all for your suggestions regarding my engine problems. Today I flew with out the cowl and did not experience loss of power at full throttle but it still felt low on RPMs. A fellow at the field mentioned that I should check the tolerances of the rocker arms and valves. I'll do this as well as building baffels for the cowl. I'm also considering a higher reving prop. Any further thoughts?

RE: P-40 Brotherhood (All P-40's Welcome)
The main issue I have with the 125 is at full power in flight. It Boggs down. I thought that I was having fuel starvation or an air leak in one of the lines. I replaced all lines. I also turned on the glow driver as well and no change. I have not had a dead stick yet but the thought of it is less than appealing. Any one with advise fire away. Apart from going to gas I'm out of ideas.

Is your cowl intact or does it need to be modified? The one thing I like about the saito is it is totally enclosed.

Bob, She still is an anti submarine aircraft. She just has a few more tricks up her sleeves now. Her follow on the P-8 Poseidon will carry on her tradition of converted airliner. Incidently the P-2 was one of the last purpose built sub hunter designed as such from the ground up. Scott

RE: Top Flite P-40 Kit Build
Lol. I am moving to Bremerton this winter for a couple of years and I was wondering if you know of any good clubs out that way? I have seen pictures of a few but none that look big enough for 1/4 scale birds. I really had to look by the way for the one beer bottle. I guess it would have been easier to see with out all of the clutter[:D] every thing in its place.

RE: Top Flite P-40 Kit Build
Here is a photo of the tail detail showing the effect of making areas to show overlapped aluminum sheets. The other photo is of the baggage compartment. I made a door out of layered 3/4 ounce fiber glass cloth and 30 minute epoxy. As you can see the air filler and pressure gauge as well as two switches and plugs fit nicely in this place. Admittedly I miss judged the size of the door on the small size and as cramped as it is I should have made it bigger and routed the fueling line into this place as well.

RE: Top Flite P-40 Kit Build
The gear are Robart. The air filler valve is in the baggage compartment along with the pressure gauge and two switches for the batteries. I used heavy duty servos through out and thought having 2 4.8 volt batteries would up the power from them considering the relatively short servo arms in the wing. I'll post a picture later tonight after the kids go down. The fuel will be filled from under the cowl flaps as well as the glow battery charge jack. Again I'll post a photo tonight. Scott
