My latest acquistion is a used  Super Tigre .40 RC engine.
Fired it up & it screams! :-)
I'm contemplating running it on a CL aircraft.
Is there any special tricks/mods to turn it into a CL engine?

I'm painting a model with latex paint -- first try.  The latex isn't fuel
"proof" for glow fuel, so I need to cover it with a clear coat.  I was
thinking of using Polycrylic (thinking that was a water-based polyurethane
since its cans are right next to the oil-based polys at the ...

Is it OK to use a 1.5volt drycell Batt. instead of the normal 1.2Volt NICAD
Batt. for the glowplug starter?

I have a used Cox .049 RC motor.  The throttle is an
aluminum ring that rotates around the cylinder,

engined aircraft - item 180118617596 - and cant remember seeing one
before, looks to be pre-WW2 and was possibly obsolete by the time things
got going, anybody know what the beast is?

Well, I finally got my county flying permit and took my brand new Lazy
Ace to the field this evening.  (Remember the photos I showed you guys a
month ago?)
Range check and control functions were good so I took off, but about the

I'm attempting to scratch build a Mk I Spitfire to 1/10th scale.
I need plans that have accurate fuselage cross-sections as I intend to
hot-wire cut them from styrofoam.
Where can I buy such plans?

I have an (overpriced) Dubro prop balancer. I have a nylon prop, 6x3, that I
believe to be out of balance because of the vibration that occurs when the
engine tops out. I took an old wood prop, balanced it, mounted it on the
engine, and it was smooth as can be. I put the nylon ...

All totally tongue in cheek........honest!
