    SOLD! Delta Vortex from Bruce Thorpe Engineering LPU Little Rock, AR

    I have a Delta Vortex plane made by Bruce Thorpe Engineering here. I got this plane as part of a package deal with a number of other planes a couple years back. I'm not flying much these days, and haven't flown this in several months. So it's time to let it go. The plane is equipped with a...

    spinner or no spinner for better cooling?

    I've been running a motor with no spinner for a while now, it's mounted on a 3dhs 91" Yak 55. The cowl curves around the front more than most other Yak's I've seen, and if I used the 3dhs suggested spinner (4") it doesn't leave a whole lot of room for air to enter the cowl and cool the motor...

    What is an expected motor temperature and too hot temperature?

    Quick question... What temps should I expect to be seeing on a properly running/properly cooled gas motor. Specifically this is an EME 70 twin cylinder motor. I have it mounted up to a 3dhs 91" Yak 55. On the fifth flight the motor quit on me, and I suspect it was due to overheating. It's...

I have an EME70 twin that I want to mount it on. I gather the back of one of the cylinders is probably the hottest spot, and...

    SOLD! SOLD! DA-35, barely used $375 shipped

    Sold! I've got a DA-35 that I suppose I should sell, it was mounted in an EF 83" MXS that died when my transmitter rebooted in mid-flight. The plane hit on the wing and stab, didn't break a prop or anything. Motor wasn't damaged at all. The motor only had about 20 flights on it, was just...

    Swapping radio systems - few questions...

    I'm swapping out of my current radio system (Spektrum) for various reasons that aren't important here. (Don't wanna start radio wars!) Considering Futaba 14SG, possibly Jeti DS14, or more likely a JR XG14 DMSS or XG11 DMSS. In my giant scale planes in the past I've always used...

    Nice standoffs!

    Wanted to give a big thumbs up to Craig's excellent standoffs. Ordered some late last week, had them monday, and now they are all installed on an Aerobeez 75" MXS from exilehobby.com. The motor is a large DualSky one that exilehobby sells, this is a demo plane built with gear that Landon sells...
