    Toledo show by weak signals rc club - who's going?

    I'll be at the show all 3 days working at the model registration desk Friday and Sunday. My favorite part of the show are the models people built. I enjoy talking with them about the build and listening to their stories. I remember going to the show back in the early 70s with my Dad and...

    I see Tim cut his out so I think I'll do the same.

    Are you all planning to vent the engine heat out the bottom of the airplane? Opening up both panels or just one? Check out this thread. http://www.teamflyingcircus.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7895&page=5

    I think you're right the flexing might cause a problem. The fit bother's me. They just might end up in the junk box.

    Has anyone tried to make the landing gear cover fit any better? I cut a notch and reshaped the top edge. I'm still not sure I like them. I'm considering splitting the side and reshaping the bottom edge too. Any idea?

    Looking at your pictures it should be real close to going through the head cooling opening as you cut yours. It might be slightly up inside. Thanks for posting the turnbuckle links. I ended up ordering as you suggested. IThe was going to use the originals but the aileron links are a smaller...

    I worked on the throttle and choke linkage for my DA35 today. I'm disappointed with the premium DA engine. They should have planned the linkage a bit more. A 4-40 socket head cap screw interfered with the engine stand off. So I used a pan head screw which clears with a washer. I tried...

    I have the DLE 35RA too. I'm hoping this will be quieter and more reliable. I have a DA50 I never adjusted in 2 years. (It's in a box right now.) The DLE 35 has given me some problems. Seems to run great for 4 or 5 flights then quits flight after flight all in the same day.

    Thanks I found by reading more on another thread that you used the JTec standard size. I'm measuring right now to determine if the large will work. JTec said I need 2" behind the muffler. I would like to get it as quiet as possible. I want hassle free too.

    I'm Tom I'm in Oregon Ohio and fly with at the Weak Signals club. I stated to fly glow fuel in 2008. I got a gently used 50cc Aeroworks Edge 2 years ago. This spring a flat spin was carried down a bit too low. After the crash I've been flying an Extreme Flight 74" Yak. It's from 2006 and...
