Cheers Jim I was not sure of the size I needed. regards Rusty

mmm it does sound like its leaning out, so i Only have one idea, Could the tank be vibrating and thus aerating the fuel, sounds a bit far fetched but I have seen it before. rusty

Hey folks I need so help, I need a a spinner or nut for my SC .70 which is on an AT-6 texan, what size or type do I need? thanks rusty

I have used thmy with good effect on my wot 4 and pulse xt, I think it works well on models with long near full width ailerons . Dont think I will chance it with my first powered semi scale AT-6 though. I found the pulse xt fairly slippery, and on approach just would not slow down. rusty

the oil or fuel it could be, may be as a result of the main needle being to rich in an attempt to address the air leak which would be leaning it back down. rusty

David it must be very lean I would say, Any air leaks beyond the carb is not good as it leans out the mixture also. rusty

Cheers Ady, I was not really sure what the 10 -15 15 -25 sizes meant. thanks again rusty

I am in the middle of putting a Seagull AT-6 texan It has a 1600mm wingspan, nice looking model but the retratcs that came with it look suspect, So I thought I will get some eflite ones troubles is I have no idea what size I need?? thanks for any help rusty

How do I PM you when your profile is not visable ?

Me too fellas when, when is the start date anyway? rusty

I read a book about Johnnie Johnson, It was called Spitfire Ace of Aces. Some real interesting stuff in it. Written by Dilip Sarkar, worth a read for sure! rusty

Sorry to crash the thread lads, But I have the sc.70 also and I have had it running real good on the test bed, However I wasn't able to see the throttle opening when I was running. What size of a gap in the throttle should there be? Or is it just a case of what works for the motor, I am not sure if the gap is critical to needle set up? rusty Edited By Rusty C on 18/10/2012 20:48:48

Cheers Danny I am going to try the mech ones first I am sure I will manage it as I am fairly savvy with mechanics The build blog will start soon enough! rusty

Cheers Russ a pic would be sweet! Will now go trawl the forum, I always forget to search the forum rusty Ps what type did you fit? Edited By Rusty C on 16/10/2012 20:19:44

Hi guys I have recently bought a seagull AT-6 for the recently acquired SC .70 from our own Weasel. I have not taken delivery yet, But I have been thinking about the build and I am unsure of this retracts malarky as I have never used them. It comes with mechanical type, And I was wondering if using a separate battery for them would be a good idea? If so how would i go about this? I had also thought that maybe I could fit some E Flite retracts as these may work better? Thanks Rusty

Sounds like it could be worth a shot, Maybe a wee winter shed project. Lets us know if you try it yourself. I find it hard to see how it would work though, And if it does why is it not more well known ? rusty

mmmm Very interesting, However I cant see it being to reliable, Surely pre ignition would be a major issue. not to mention the lack of lubrication Pre detonation ( edit) rusty Edited By Rusty C on 15/10/2012 21:01:45

A Saw would not be great, more likely to break I would think. rusty

That'll do for me" thats your tunning mate!! I find the same Lee, And I dont think it has castor in it? anyone know for sure?

I use OS F plugs also with great results, pretty good plug for tuning to Rusty
