Thank you all, the current subject is a Hangar 9 Pawnee. Whatever covering material they use sticks like the proverbial **** to a blanket except, of course, where you need it to, then the clear comes off leaving the colour/adhesive behind.

Now I'm sure I'm not the only one who hates re-covering, so how do you experts get the old stuff off?

My first flying model that I can remember was a Frog Interceptor, one of those that you wound up in its box, that would have been around 1961. My first RC model was a Senior Falcon with an O.S. 40 FSR. in about 1979. No photos of either I'm afraid.

Rich asked which is the safest direction to turn, suggesting an emergency. If you're marginal on power or airspeed, then convert your momentum into airspeed by turning gently into wind.

In answer to the original question, never mind torque, turn into the wind.

[email protected] Interesting that no one seems to have mentioned altitude as a factor. Where I live and fly we are about 5500 ft amsl. Personally I use 10% nitro and 15% synthetic in two and four strokes, definitely better than 5%. We also generally have low humidity and high temperatures which must be a factor.

They're not intended as an investment. I don't smoke and given what some people spend on cigarettes, I can easily justify the harmless expense.

Does the servo/throttle barrel open progressively?

Actually, Baseball is very popular in Japan, Baseuboro, but then they own a lot of America

I have an O S 108 in mine which works well. It's no ball of fire but bear in mind that where I live is over 5000 feet amsl and usually quite hot.

Thanks for that. Very interesting aeroplane, pity it never got as far as production. Resembles one of the late Japanese fighters as well.

What is that other plane behind the Bf109? It seems to have a DB engine but the undercarriage retracts inwards?

Yes, I notice that they took it from the cam drive area, presumably so as not to bypass the gears and bearings?

Has anyone here experimented with feeding the crankcase breather back into the inlet tract?
