  1. Hi Gordon From memory the tank is low down and slides in from the lower wing opening, so no problem with the carb. I can't remember where the plan shows the tank?. I usually use Dubro tanks, and I think I used a 12oz one. And yes the engine runs a treat, as you would expect from a Laser, Richard
  2. Hi Gordon The 120 does fit nice, I didn't use any special adaptor. The spinner was custom made for me by a machining friend, it cost me £50, every time we see each other he reminds me it should of been nearer to a £100. It was machined out of solid 4" aluminum bar. I'm not sure you can get a commercially made one due to the shape. Martyn - at 60" it has quite a good presence in the air and the 120 makes a good combo. Richard
  3. Hi Danny - will be glad to help with any questions, it's funny because I was only looking at the plans last weekend, I'm toying with the idea of scaling it up to about 80" span (in the future!!) I seem to remember an issue with the aileron's, bear in mind I built it in 2008/09 so a distant memory. I also did away with the top forward hatch, access is from the bottom wing opening. Hi John - not sure on the weight, but she fly's very scale like on the 120. And sounds good too!! Richard
  4. Hi Martyn I think there is just enough of the cylinder head hanging out in the breeze. Also the engine is bolted to a 6mm thk aluminium plate which is then bolted to the bearers, so I think the ali plate acts as a heat sink. I do have a load of build pictures somewhere, if I can find them I will post a few. One thing to bear in mind is to make the metal wire tail skid quite substantial, mine has recently snapped off flush with the fuselage. Regard
  5. Funny enough John, no it's not. It's quite a draggy aircraft, with the wires, struts and radiator. The 120 is spot on for it,
  6. Just came across this thread, thought I would share a couple of pictures of my Bryant Fury, built back in 2009. Still flying today, Laser 120 for power. Would be nice to see a few more built. Regards Richard
