Worked on the nose wheel a little today, cut the strut to length to eliminate interference with the carburetor, made a teflon ring to hold the strut in the bearing block, and drilled and tapped for the 8-32 control horn. Need to make a control rod and off to filling and sanding. The nosewheel...- TonyHallo

Make small pulley out of 3/8" brass rod, the one in the photo will register in the larger choke level...- TonyHallo

Use two SP-RPM sensors, you need to change the channel on one and check a box in the telemetry screen that I forget what it is called. You could add more if you like, once they are found you can edit the name. $20 each, not bad...- TonyHallo

Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build
I'm pretty sure the Super Cub was my first online post so I didn't take a lot of photos. It's a BUSA so the build is different as well, here the stub ribs are being matched to the wing with Super Fill. And yes I have move than one stalled. Quite a bit of activity here at GSN lately, hopefully...- TonyHallo

Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build
No, the firewall is the barrier between the high pressure zone and the low pressure zone. The air entering the cowl is slightly higher pressure due to flow through the air (Velocity Pressure), the area behind the will be at lower pressure caused by the lip on the cowl. Air will flow across the...- TonyHallo

I plan to use the stabilize and self leveling function only so I will do a quick set and it will require one switch. The hover and knife edge functions will not be utilized. The final baffles are installed.- TonyHallo

That's some nice fixturing work there David. At what point is the chain saw employed? I couldn't remember how I did the Super Cub wings, looked through the build folder. Looks like I had the wings covered before hand. I will have to finish it someday!- TonyHallo

Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build
Thank you Steven. Decided to put in 2 back braces to restore some rigidity to the firewall after cutting the hole for cooling and intake manifold clearance. Used 5/8" x 3/4" maple motor mount stock for the braces, these are screwed and epoxied in place on each side of the carburetor. Also laid...- TonyHallo

Made the trip to the Central Penn Aeromodelers Swap Meet yesterday. The event is held in Lebanon PA about 3 1/2 hours away. Of course it started snowing the night before and snowed the entire trip out. Roads were clear on the way home but winds were up to 50 mph. Found an old roll of Sky...- TonyHallo

I plan to make the rear edge of the a raised lip to create low pressure zone. Will also add a sloped plate where the hole is so it will look white from below.
