    DA50 help

    Dimes! I think it's just the opposite! In warm humid conditions, the moisture in the air leaves less room for oxygen so the mixture will go rich. Our engines make less power on hot humid days, there isn't much we can do about it except lean out the mixture a bit so it will do as much as it...

    DA50 help

    What is the difference between a 22A and a 23A? I asked Dave at DA once, what's the right prop for a DA-50 and he said 22x8, so I run a 22x8 on mine. Nothing else happened but the prop? Did you try to fly it the same day? How much time passed between when you crashed and when you tried to...

    DA50 help

    If you really drilled the nose of the plane into the ground or if the broken prop blade got pushed back into the engine then it's very possible the ignition sensor got pushed out of alignment. For starters, you can check the spark by just passing the magnet in the prop hub past the pickup and...

    Who's Up For a 3D Printing Challenge?

    I went looking for a quick clamp but the ones with the wider spread were too heavy duty to clamp to a wing so I made my own V fittings to mount the digital level to the wing. The digital level/protractor came from Amazon for $18...

    Who's Up For a 3D Printing Challenge?

    Or maybe I'll do a prototype this week with wood blocks and you guys can just copy it. I'll hit Lowes tomorrow for a clamp. :way_to_go:

    Who's Up For a 3D Printing Challenge?

    After shopping for a new incidence meter I've come to the conclusion they're all overpriced crap. So who wants to design and print parts to convert one of these, a light to medium duty quick clamp, https://www.amazon.com/Irwin-Quick-518QCN-Handed-Spreader/dp/B0761J2HVR so that it can be...

    Chad Veich www.cwvmodels.com 112" P-51D, plans are metric so great option for people outside the US where metric materials are standard. Thanks for the tip, I've never heard of that one. I reached out to Chad, here's his reply and a video review of his plans that he sent;

    Thanks Chris, it's appreciated. You've got your hands full lately, I really hope it's all going great with the baby. As for the big Mustang, the plans should be here this week and after giving them a good look and double checking my sanity we'll start making parts. I probably won't ever...

    Scale Plans built P-51

    That would make sense then. Was hoping to hear back from him since the Nosen Mustang was the one I always wanted to build but with his B mods already done it seemed like the best of both worlds. It's a big project to commit to, kudos to you for taking it on, we'll see if I get it started or if...

    George replied to me to say he's not selling plans anymore. I asked if he'd send the files to my local Staples who could print and then delete them but he didn't respond. The Jerry Bates 1/4 scale (112") plans are $60 plus $18 shipping, Jerry replied right away to my emails so he'll have a set...

    Scale Giant Scale P-51 Mustang Plans??

    I emailed Jerry Bates about larger size Mustang plans and he pointed out that they are offered as a 112", 1/4 scale version which isn't listed in the site catalog but is in the downloadable current version of the catalog. For $78 shipped it seems like a great deal and I'll be ordering a set...

    Scale Giant Scale P-51 Mustang Plans??

    Upsizing the Bates plans is a good idea. I emailed him to see what he would charge to print the plans with 102" wingspan. I'm sorry to disrespect you guys with an 89" set of plans. :cool:
