    Carb & Fuel Flow Question

    This all makes sense to me with my issue as well. At one point with the cowl off I witnessed a loss of prime from the carb as it sat untouched. Maybe 1/2" of air from the carb inlet visible through the tubing. I'm guessing if the HS flapper check valve is not seating like it should, allowing air...

    Carb & Fuel Flow Question

    This is a sore subject for me right now. Rebuilt my DA35 carb. Marked and reset the needles to exactly where they were before and my engine would not want to leave idle, could baby it up to mid range and then it would die. Classic case of an air leak, bad plug cap, or lean high. Ran the engine...

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    I remember my RCGF21cc being a lemon.... They did also say 20min ground break in period. I also read somewhere the the early models of the 10cc cylinders piston ring caught a little on the exhaust port. I did not look for this on mine. But my cylinder wall had casting pits in it and my ring...

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    guessing this is a full length sleeve with this tube? $15-20 for a tube... then a sleeve from gator with a tube is $60. Makes me curious how one makes a sleeve!! I saw a tutorial on FG how to make a sleeve. I am curious how you make a sleeve. I don't know how one could make a sleeve that is...

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    So I gotta ask. Anybody considering the RCGF 26cc?? too much motor? for some reason it's lighter and half the cost than the OS? are these specs true? The RCGF seems like a solid motor based one some folks here and other places in the depths of the interwebs. My guess is the specs are a little...

    Good try, but it's invaluable to me. It started it's life as a 36" piece. Very handy to have a balsa tree truck around. SIG Mfg looks like has a good price for a 3"x3"x36" balsa block for $22.87, I've had my block for years... I originally purchased it to make some droop tips for a 1:5 SuperCub...
