Re: Maxford USA Albertros D.Va 120 fs IC help...

Just an update - ordered the wok from Amazon but it’s quite flat on the centre so does anyone want a wok lid? Looking at metal spinning now as if you can do it with the real thing should be able to do it for a model. Going to buy an oak block to turn up a former and proceed fron there - fingers cros...

Re: Maxford USA Albertros D.Va 120 fs IC help...

Hi Alan. Always a wealth of information and many thanks for the link and I have ordered it. Got to be better than starting from scratch and I would only need to get a bead turned on the edge to engage into the backplate once made up. I am hoping the lid will be thick enough to do the job but for £10...

The four videos for the electric to glo conversion is shown below - they are all on a number of forum sites both here in the U.K. and two over the pond and should be easy to find but first is here if anyone is interested.

Re: Maxford USA Albertros D.Va 120 fs IC help...

Thanks for the advice on the spinner - looking at metal spinners who can do the job and it would be balanced as well. Found this by looking on YouTube and found it an overlooked subject for our model plane spinners. Will be looking into the costs in the next two weeks as I won’t have the time till t...

Re: Maxford USA Albertros D.Va 120 fs IC help...

Hi Bob. Thanks for getting back regarding the spinner. I am looking at doing that now and found some info from across the pond to do it in fibreglass. I have had no experience with fibreglass but I don’t have much choice as the existing spinner looks good but would not survive a nose over...

Re: Maxford USA Albertros D.Va 120 fs IC help...

Seems it’s not been done as no reply from over the pond or over here so I’m going it alone and already posted 3 videos on the RCM&E site with the forth underway. Been hard but working out well. Only thing I would like to get hold of now is a 138mm did Albertros style spinner. The one included in...

Maxford USA Albertros D.Va 120 fs IC help...

Wonder if anyone can help me with a few pictures of their own IC installation in this plane. It’s always been my favourite model biplane but the kits instructions seem biased towards electric power however a four stroke will [b]sound[b] right. Any help before I start to tackle the kit would be most ...

Re: UK DFT Consultation feedback

It is such a shame that every aspect of our sport is under threat- be it from noise or hysteria. note the latter being brought about by the few irresponsible people who won't register or have any regard for the law anyway. Our club (Bartons Point Model Flying Club) has just finished it's "Flyin...

Handley Page HP42 Wing Anti Stall Slats

Has anyone got details of the anti stall slats on this aircraft - and any reference to how they work on this plane. I know HP developed this system and they had a strong patent but I cant find out anything else. I ask because my 94" is ready for engine run up and then its her maiden and I have ...
