Remote glow solution for an awkward plug!

Small Crocodile clip on my Zlin's OS 120 Surpass. Works very well but the teeth do need to be kept clean. -

My latest project completed. Built on and off over the last few months, almost entirely out of whatever was at hand. R/c function are rudder, with the motor a simple on/off contact. Motive power is a small single LiFe cell. The plan was found on Aero Fred. The magazine article is in Czechoslovakian, so I had some fun with Google Translate but it's not too difficult to figure the plans out. Our winter rains have started, which causes a little pond to fill at our flying field ,hence I built something different... A short build video posted in the vintage section. -

Great news. I'm patiently awaiting the FW release for these rx's...

After 8 years and 847 logged flights, my trusty .75-.91 Seagull Zlin's firewall finally came undone. Some fuel damage was also inevitable. I laminated up a slightly thicker firewall, to give more gluing area. The triangle supports were also made from laminated ply. (Not having any other hard wood strips at hand). Having during it's life added flaps, repaired a snapped fuselage and beefed up the undercarriage plate, this plane is now getting a little heavy. But she's not quite ready to be retired yet.... Here's the pictures. Zlin Firewall.mp4

Rebuilt this 'rescue puppy. 52 inch span, powered by an OS 55 Ax. Lots of work but the result makes it worth it. l t this 52 inch 'rescue -
Biplane Refurbish

This sad looking biplane was left in our clubhouse as a 'give away. Having nothing on the bench at the time, I took it under my wing... We aren't quite sure but we think that it is a Bucker Jungmeister from the mid 80's with a modified tail / rudder. 52 inch span and powered by an OS 55AX2 and 12x6 prop, it flies quite well. \ Not having built a bipe before, my biggest concern was calculating the correct CG. I'm glad so say that, after all the research and calculating , it was spot on. First up, the wing...... Bipe Rebuild, Wings_x264.mp4
