[NSRCA-discussion] Winter practice plane

[Wayne Galligan]

Matt,

I am building two of them at this time also.  One with an AXI motor and the other with a glow OS 61.   These are very well built ARF's and assemble easily.   Only thing I have found wrong with them so far is the landing gear are cambered at quite a bit of an angle.  Mike East who did the review on these on RcUniverse said that they will relax a little and spread out after a dozen or so flights(I hope so).  Only reason I am using a 2-stroke is because I had one. The AXI one is being built for someone else.  It will be interesting to see the difference in the way the two will fly.  I don't like the 4-40 pushrods they have in the kit(way heavy)  Use 2-56 on the ailerons and on the elevator use a c/f rod or put a c.f rod over the 2-56.   I put pull/pull on the rudder, mounting the servo on the bottom of the fuse and used Kevlar and 2-56 eyelets in nylon 2-56 clevis.  The nylon on nylon wont wear a bit.

  Anthony, 

  I am finishing an Inspir arfie from horizon hobbies. Its a Fliton kit and is very light for the size. I hate ARFies but in a pinch, this one is done reasonably well. Power is YS 63.

  A small model airfield is located right in front of the parking lot where I work and it pains me sometimes (like today where temps were above 60, sunny and light winds) to watch the locals run their stuff at lunch time. I hope to have it flying before the cold weather settles in

  Hi all, 
  Looking for suggestiongs for a small pattern plane for when I have a time to sneek out from the office. Was using a Ripmax Alliance until the wing exploded this afternoon. Have a Hacker A20/20L that made the Alliance marginal on a calm day. Has anyone flown a Prodigy with this motor? I think it is the recomended setup. 
   
  Saw a Mini Brio w/ an E flite Power 10 and it seemed very solid on a day I was all over the place. Do you need to be in the 2lb range to really have a Master/FAI pracitce plane? 
   
  TIA 
   
  Anthony
