Some engine installation manuals indicate that the engine should be
installed with a angle of incidence to the right... for example the TS 75
indicates a right 2 left 0 angle of incidence... What exactly does this
mean? Do I need to shim the engine mount slightly so the engine ...

I have been running a YS 63 engine for a few weeks. So far I have put almost
a gallon of 20/20 fuel through it. Recently, I have been getting an
unusually high idle RPM, and whenever I try to crank it up to full throttle,
the engine sputters for a few seconds then dies. Before this ...

Okay, I give up.  Anyone tell me whether the Mk 1 Spitfire had aluminium or
fabric covered ailerons?  Ditto the rudder and elevators.  I believe the
elevators were Al., the rudder fabric.  Anyone?

I'm in bad need of the canopy and decals (and possibly of underwing
tanks) from Guillow's balsa P-47D bubbletop, kit #1001 (1/16th
scale?).
Will pay reasonable prices, either by cash or by Paypal.

I'm looking for any input on the GWS BN2 Islander plane with the two electric ducted fans.
Thanks!

I have been out of the hobby for 12 years.  When I quit, I stored my almost
(then) brand-new Fox .60 2-stroke.  I soaked it good with after-run oil.
Recently, I decided to get back into flying.  I disassembled the Fox
(everything looked good), soaked it good in oil, and reassembled ...

Hi there! I forgot to add this Q to my other thread, so here goes:
I've got an Irvine 39 2-stroke attached to a Limbo Dancer. I'm familiar with
leaning in full-sized aircraft (either to peak EGT + 25degC or slightly on
the rich side of peak RPM).

I was just checking the Tower Hobbies site, and noticed they show the Dynaflite
Flybaby as discontinued, as well as the PT-19 kit. In fact, they currently show
only three other kits.

Lost my cherry today.
Less than impressive.
Finished assembling my Slowstick, all charged up....

One of the guys at the club has a Magnum 40 that is worn out. (low compression)
Where can I get the parts to help him rebuild it?  I guess I might as well
welcome any other comments now as I know they are coming!!!  LOL  Eddie Fulmer

Anyone out there built the Royal B-25?
How did you handle joining the forward canopy that comes in two
pieces. A friend of mine is working on his now. The supplied pieces do
not fit each other well, nor do they look like they will fit the

Just posted 3 pics of my Super Chipmunk rebuild.  See them at

I have installed an OS Gemini 1.60 twin fs in my lake rengade.  The engine
is enclosed in a scale nacelle with two 1.75 in. diam. cooling ducts to pass
cooling air from front to back.  The engine will be turning ccw with a 16
1/2 " pusher prop.  Do you expect I will have a cooling ...

Can someone tell me the news group for RC air binary pictures.  I know it's
discouraged here for bandwidth reasons, but I just finished my Super
Chipmunk restoration and would like to display it.  Thanks guys.
