    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    Got it running today. Idles at 1200 RPM, 5800 RPM short blast, Falcon 25x10 CF prop. Seems like the 2 into 1 exhaust has a different note than the single stacks on the Champ.

    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    Well the vet was a $700 trip plus $8 a day for special food to dissolve a bladder stone, hope it works. Even after getting two rectal exams at the vet's, cat still didn't want to get into the pet carrier! Got the plane leveled and balanced checked. The CG is 6.42" back from the leading edge or...

    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    Got the plane assembled and weighted, 33.33 pounds on the mains and 4.41 pounds on the tailwheel, 37.7 pounds total. Haven't checked the CG yet but low tailwheel weight is encouraging. Taking the boss's cat to the vets and it takes two of us to get her in the cage. Will check the CG later today.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Is that aluminum gear? You could gain some height by bending in slightly. How about a three blade?

    That's what I was thinking as well. I see why you have occasional landing fee now.

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Flew 3 rounds on Saturday and 1 round on Sunday. The wind was so bad on Sunday I landed the plane after the second maneuver because I couldn't really control it. You use the best 2 scores and the flight on Sunday wasn't going to be one of them. Came in second place in the Sportsman/Expert...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Flew two rounds yesterday plus the static judging, scored 88 in the static. One of the major hits was the wing gap at the fuselage. When built the fairings overlapped the wings, these were bent loading the plane in the aircraft carrier the first time so I cut the fairings flush. This was...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Flew maybe 6 flights today, spent two flights trying to get the 2 wheel landing down pat, gave up and when back to 3 point landings. The fans work awesome. I have eliminated the aileron rudder mix and use the rudder for turning while using opposite aileron to control the bank. Changed all...
