[NSRCA-discussion] FW: OMS on E was > older 2m plane wanted

[Richard Strickland]

This might be of a little interest..

This was purpose built E by Orland last year with long fixed gear as an experiment (OMS stands for Orland McKee Special) with a C50XL Hacker running on 4200s.  He wasn't nuts about the result and traded it off--was then converted to the A60.  That guy wasn't crazy about it either(but I don't think he had it set up right).  Someone was interested in my last IC airplane(an OMS) and bought it--I had found this could be had the night before for not too much more than the other--so I turned around and got it same day--am now totally E.  Had to rework the entire innards to get the balance right with the 5000s--but I think it will be worth it.  I've felt all along that these older designs would be good for E and am fortunate to have come up with this one. Still learning things like you can put too much power to the larger out-runners and they can go a little(OK--a lot) nuts (screech) if not set up properly and there is some experimenting with timing and other stuff that will increase 'milage' without loss of power--of which there is plenty.  Still motors nicely in vertical up at 65-70%. RS

 I would think that landing gear height on an old retract plane would pose a big problem. Mike--- On Tue, 8/12/08, brian young <brian_w_young at yahoo.com> wrote:

Not quite on subject, but I've been fooling with an electric OMS (pencil fuse)with a Hacker A60S20, CCHV85 and Tanic 5000s(had to stack them) and man is this thing easy on batteries!RS> From: tschmidt at classicnet.net> To: nsrca-discussion at lists.nsrca.org> Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 18:59:28 -0500> Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] older 2m plane wanted> > Hey everyone,> I have a friend in Wichita Ks that is looking for a "pencil fuse" 2 meter> pattern ship.
