Thank you, that would be perfect. I'll PM my email address to you.

Good to know, thanks. I have a Perry stashed away somewhere among the clutter.

I have a set of plans for a 1/6th scale DH-84 Dragon plans designed by Ron Hodsdon for Radio Control Model World. I'm interested in finding the construction article from that magazine (which I assume to be out of print?). Any leads are appreciated.

I understand this Merco .61 to be a Black Streak? Is so, is there any published information on the engine? I'm particularly interested in the carb adjustments. I mounted this engine on and airplane and had fits trying to set a good idle. On a lark I moved that lever all the way back and presto! It has the nicest smooth idle I have ever seen. Top end is good also, swinging a 12-8 with no problem.

Thanks! It's been so long since I used one that I had forgotten how it works. 😀

I have this Merco muffler I would like to use on a Merco .49. Not being able to find information on how to set up this muffler, can any of you provide suggestions? As assembled, it looks to be a sealed chamber when clamped together, restricting exhaust gas flow. What would be the purpose of the exhaust tube? Is the rib in each muffler half ground away and the tube provides the sound reduction?

Yes, an account needs to be created to view the forum. If you're not familiar with RCSB, there are some fantastic scale models under construction or flying.

I assume the claw hammer came to good use? 🐵

Bert, what are the wheels you’re using? They look like 1930’s low pressure tires.

Here's the completed Contender dressed up as a RN Balliol. I want to make the first flight this week as I'm off to a meet next weekend and want to have tested before I go. Some stats: Axi 4120-14 with Jeti Opto 77 ESC and 4000 ma 4S1P battery which should get around 8 - 9 minutes of flying. The prop is a Master Airscrew 12-8. Markings by Callie Graphics with Monokote and Ultracote covering. Ready to fly weight 3.57Kg. Edited By Michael Denest on 30/08/2020 17:08:27

As promised, here are some photos of the Contender wearing the markings of Sea Balliol T.21 WP328. The markings were supplied by Callie Graphics here in the USA. It's currently 98% complete with the exception of a suitable pilot, final canopy fit, Cg and system checks. Axi 4120-14 motor with Jeti Opto 77 ESC and 5000ma pack. RTF weight is @ 2.9Kg (6.5 lbs).

Hi Robin, Actually the thought hasn't traveled very far as yet. As I wanted to do my Contender (now almost complete sans a decent pilot) in something other than the above noted schemes, which now has had markings applied. I'll post some pictures later. I have a three view drawing with some fuselage cross sections (some sections can be fudged from what I see in the photos) that could be developed; the wing section doesn't need to be exact but a good stable airfoil would make it a very nice flyer from rubber scale to giant. It has nice proportions so balance should not be a problem. Granted, it's no Spitty or Hurri but it is unique in its own way.

HI guys, what is your opinion of a Saito 1.50 in this bird? I have a restoration project (pictures posted on a few pages back) and would like to get it started. Edited By Michael Denest on 24/05/2020 00:38:50
