The undercarriage I added extra support to stop the spreading

My plane is no longer, it was purchased from the builder who didn’t fly it, I fitted it out with a NGH 38, it struggled to gain height and wanted to knife edge all the time I fitted the engine that came with it that was a Dle 55 could now gain height but still was a handful I increased the nose weight as it appeared to fly nose high I tried down thrust and all the usual stuff The c-g was more forward than the plan but with my first flights it was set to the plan it was stripped out to sell it on but no one wanted it so I refitted the gear and gave it another good go, it was flying to poor standard eventually it did a weird tip stall and rolled to the invert and went in. It didn’t respond in a way I thought it should do, I had tried all sorts of differentiation programming using and not using rudder,

It sure is one of the strangest planes I’ve flown, the c-g can be well wrong but the plane will still fly to a fashion

Well done, hope you have more luck than I had with mine,

Hopefully over winter a few more Stampe’s will be born, they do appear to be fairly popular down my area, there’s fifteenth of them in,various clubs I’m in locally It would make a interesting site to see them all up together 😂

Many thanks,thats exactly what I needed

I’ve recently been given a NGH 35 it has come to me as a rear exhaust I have no clue if it was like it from new or if it was converted A chum said that the rear exhaust option requires a new piston I can only assume my piston is ok what was dit to the side exhaust piston setup logic would think is the piston ring gap location peg but are there other slight mods to the skirt how would I be able to tell

I’ve recently been given one of these NGH35 to play with I was told it would run the die so I thought I would check out what has been said here about the pulse orifice for the pump not lining up with gaskets and spacers etc I removed the carb and the bits were all made correctly so a quick inspection of the carb face told the story Yep the carb had been put on round the wrong way The benefit is that the cowl also fits better now ive still to run the engine but lessons can be learnt from going back through forums

I simply just used epoxy to fix them in place you do need to make sure the top centre section is parallel to the lower wing dowel holes Id recommend not using the tangs for the wing struts and order the Practical scale fittings

Yeah food for thought, I’m not a fan of videos on maiden’s, But it is a good diagnostic tool, I’m going to fly it again now I know what it’s like to fly such a model, I would say I was a bit nervous about flying it after so much work had gone into it, I did start to relax and even let my son William have a go and do the loop so hopefully next outing I can do some more tests, I didn’t do a stall test and really should do

You very welcome
