RE: CG for Nitro plane
[quote]ORIGINAL: markhamregular I bought a NitroModel Double Trouble Two P-51 Mustang 60, and I lost the Link this word and every other one like it in our forum to YOUR Website! manual. Anyone knows the CG for that model? If not, is the first rib supporter of the wing the place where most CG are located? I would hate to crash on my maiden flight. I previously posted the above in the Nitro forum but I got no answer. Thanks, [/quote] I always balance on the wing spar or 1/4" forward of that on my 40 size planes...with the fuel tank empty.

RE: OS GT33 33cc gasser
[quote]ORIGINAL: PlaneKrazee [quote]ORIGINAL: jnred123 But we probably need a more objective viewpoint on the OS33 than a factory gun pilot . Cheers Greg [/quote] Greg, OS is not one of his sponsors, 3DHS, DA and Futaba yes. I don't think he's exaggerating about performance. He did say he had only two flights on it and it was obviously running well. [/quote] Well it certainly flew well in flight. Since Futaba/Tower Hobbies/OS Engines are all kinda the same thing...it is possible that he didn't just get a random engine from inventory. However, OS Engines have a great reputation for consistant quality...so I don't think any funny business is going on. It looks like a nice engine, and the video showed it could put out the power too.

RE: BUSA D-VII BUILD @ EAA 2010
have you tried that 1/16"-1/4" wide high-dollar tape that the hobby shop sells? i used some recently on a heli canopy with zero bleed through. automotive detailing tape probably is similar stuff. i'd dare say that blue/green tape from the hardware store is sub par for an application like this. i don't have much experience though...so don't mind me too much. just a thought. mark.

hey I just found this thread. nice work! on the bird strike, I'd be tempted to do a 'field repair' by using black thread to sew up the split. i've ordered plans for the 1987 Whitehead .40 size DVII. I'll be using your good ideas whenever possible. Mark II

RE: Painting over ultra cote?
i used some clear flat laquer rattle can stuff on one of my electric warbirds covered in plastic covering. it worked well, but left some white areas that took a while for me to get used to. i just did a light coating. any bits that get rubbed off can easily be resprayed if needed.
