Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / April 2005

Hiya all,
As some of you know I have recently gone commercial with RC aerial
photography. Having been flying models for close to 20 years on a mix of
sanctioned and 'opportunity' fields I have on occasion learned the hard way

Does anybody have a 8-10 oz oval fuel tank they want to sell or can tell me
where I can buy one? Sullivan discontinued their oval fuel tanks. Thanks for
any information.

Hi Kim:
As of to-morrow, my system will be shut down so save your e-mails until I
return. Always enjoy getting them. I think Nora will be calling Henri
to-morrow re: the meds.  Have a great summer!!!!!

Anyone with a Triton charger - is your fan quiet or noisy - mine has
been noisy from new and I'm wondering if it's bad.
Thanks,

Almost finished a Westwings Toucan. The Fuse and tail surfaces have been
glassed and are lovely and smooth and pretty stiff.
However the wing doesn't look like its up to much. I added some bracing to
the join but the wing feels like it will break apart with the slightest

A friend was chopped up pretty badly not to long ago.  He had the nerves and
tendons severed in his arm and is now handicapped after two major
operations.  The AMA has known for years about the frequency of this
happening (propeller claims are the largest segement of their ...

Can some one point me to a site where I can get details of geometry for a
flap conctrol setup which can be concealed within the wing?  For 1/4 scale
project.

just about to purchase a raptor 30 v2 but unsure on one thing with the radio

Got one of these from a club member.Only thing I need is the struts that
are between the wings.There's nothing to go buy as a pattern.
Where would I find the plans or what I need to built these?? Most likely
the original was built from scratch.

Article 87 of the Air Navigation Order and CAP 658 are clear in that models
between 7kg & 20kg should not be flown at height exceeding 400ft above
ground level.
What about models less than 7kg?

Son has just joined a new club and the noise level has to be below
82db. His magnum, fitted with the west 51/genesis pipe is running at
around 87db. Prop is a 9x7 at the moment. How can he get it down to
82db?  Anyone done this and if so what prop did you end up using?

Back in the mists of time, well about 43 years ago, the Aeromodeller Plans
Handbook used to have a page of useful airfoil templates at the front just
after the engine data section which you could trace and scale.
Anybody no of a similar internet resource that isn't a full blown ...

Need to replace the valve springs on an OS70 FS Surpass (previous to current
model - ally rocker cover type).
Can anyone explain the best method - head is already off.
Do the valve stems have some sort of collet around them and if so, how do I

I notice that it was never explained how the guy got hurt.  This sounds like
one I know of personally here in South Florida.  The plane was idling in the
pits.  It wasn't being held by anyone or anything.  The pilot didn't even
have the transmitter in his hand.  Suddenly the ...
