Hello Jon, that sounds good. Here is the plan: Regards Aldo How much is the weight of the 160i ?
-
Hello dear User of the inline 160 I like the inline 160 and its sound. It makes me thinking of building a Yak3 from Jerry Bates plans. The small one. I still have a shortkit. Scale: 1/5.3Wingspan: 68”Length: 63.5”Weight: 15 – 18 lbsEngine Size: 1.08 – 1.4 2-Stroke Do you think the 160 inline will be OK for the Yak? Or ist it too heavy for the small wing? Therefore a 155 would be the better choice. Are there any adapters for the propeller-shaft available? So the engine can move further inside the cowl. Thanks for your advice. Aldo Makeover of a Seagull Yak3u 63" is nearing completion. Power will be a Laser 150 of older design.

Hello, This nice thread has become a bit quiet. Here some pictures of a Yak-makeover with a Laser 150. The Laser is new but was sitting in the box for about 20 years. Time to finish the Yak. Regards Aldo

Hi Jon, thanks for explanation. Great expertise as always. Regards Aldo

Hi Jon On the full scale Zlin 526with its inline engine one can see that the airintake is on the hot side of the engine and the outlet is on the cold side. Why do you recommend it on the 200twin the other way round. Is it because of the curburators must be on the high pressure side and the temperture regime in the small cylinders, compared the the full scale, is of no concern. Thanks for your explanation. Regards Aldo

Hello Erfolg Great looking Gee Bee. I wish you a good maiden-flight. Regards Aldo

Hi Erfolg, My struts are mounted as follwing: - short pieces of the next larger tubing are glued on to wing. - the struts feed in there, finally some wrap of textiltape will prevent rattling. - the struts are then attached to fuse with one screw each. For LIPO there could be a possiblity to make a hatch on the bottom-cover of engine compartment, just forward of the wing there the big balsablock is. Regards Aldo

Hi Erfolg, nice idea to mount the fairings with a foam. I am working on fairings as well. Prominent Gee Bee feature. I did lengthen the landing gear a bit. Now the Gee Bee sits more scale. With the big ring on the cowl the gear supplied just did not look right on the model E. I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Thanks for the nice words. Still some details to make before painting. And the Gee Bee has to share building time with a glider, made by an Italien designer, Andrea Barborini: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkDXvyKE1qI plenty fast ! Aldo btw: nitro-dope is not fuel-proof. You need to do a final paint with some fuel-proof stuff. Edited By Aldo Rebsamen on 09/12/2017 23:09:42

Hello Jon, earlier in this thread there was some discussion about larger mufflers. Since we also have noise problems, I would love to see some way to reduce noise. Do you have some bigger mufflers in the pipeline, or does it not help? Running older 150, 200v and 360v. Thanks for doing these great engines, Aldo

Hello "Erfolg" How is your Gee Bee doing? Here some pictures of my Model E. Regards Aldo Edited By Aldo Rebsamen on 09/12/2017 21:03:57
