Long-shot wanted

I'm on the lookout for a Scalewings Lavochkin LA7 - maybe an unstarted project or moderate crash damage considered ? Also, would there be an Airworld Gee Bee R3 lurking in anyones workshop ? Very much a long-shot but here's hoping . . .

Re: Moki 215cc tuning or...?

Good Morning, Brian is correct regarding the oil content ratio, but It shouldn't really prevent it from running ? I would be checking the pulse pump flexible pipe to check that it is clear ? Other than that, I would be stripping the carb to see if there was any jellified oil/fuel remains within the ...

Bob has been battling with a serious illness over the last few months and unfortunately lost his fight over the weekend.

RAF Chipmunk wanted

Hi, I'm on the lookout for a nice example of a Chipmunk to 1/4 scale, or thereabouts. I would prefer the bare airframe, with or without servos etc. I would consider other similar "flying site friendly" scale subjects ? Please let me know if you have a nice example to sell, or indeed, if yo...

Re: Wanted,Temperature operated cowl flaps

Lets hear some more about the actual gills and how they will operate ? It will be tricky to create the mechanism for reliable use thats not over complex. I know the fullsize F4U uses a cable that tightens to close against sprung open gills. . . this would result in a lot of moving parts within a str...

Re: Wanted,Temperature operated cowl flaps

I think it will be the cowl gill hinging kit and operating mechanism that will cost the money - not to mention the hours of model making to make it happen. A good project for its own sake though ? After all that work I think I would want an overide by-pass control to amaze my friends with because, u...

I cant argue with your using whatever info one can get with modern radio gear John. I am exposing my luddite self here - not really moving with technology that is available to us these days . . .

Re: Wanted,Temperature operated cowl flaps

My advice , especially where radial engines are used, is to concentrate efforts to control air coming into the cowl rather than worrying about gill flaps and the like . . . use ducting and baffles to control the cooling air over the cylinders. If you use automatic devices to open the gill flaps, cha...

Re: Tank Position

That is correct Frank . . the carb itself will regulate the fuel flow through the regulator valve. Having the tank a little higher will help with fuel draw from a cold start . . . cheers

But it’s a bit vague should that be the case. I need to get a response to channel 5 on th...
