Police turn a blind eye to lane hoggers
Bob Stringfellow replied to Dai Fledermaus's topic in Chit-chat
I fail to see the Flying connection or even a modelling connection with this Topic. -
My AcroWot has a Jen57 with Jen Pitts Silencer, this setup fits very nicely in the cowl and sounds a bit different. Because the engine is light I have 10 ounces of Lead screwed and glued to the bottom of the Firewall. I believe the C of G should be measured at the Wing Root which I take to be the Leading Edge. This setup gives great vertical performance.

Correction I should have written JEN57 and JEN Pitts Silencer, Apologies to Just Engines. I think I had a SAGA moment! Cheers Bob -
Acro Wot ARTF (balsa) chat
Bob Stringfellow replied to David Ashby - Moderator's topic in Sport, Aerobatic and 3D kits
My GEN57 with GEN Pitts Silencer fits nicely in the Cowl. As this is a light engine I needed 10oz of lead and 6volt battery under the tank to achieve recommended CofG. This setup gives me good vertical performance, as the engine becomes more Run-in the Idle is coming down and it is getting easier to land. I am using an APC 12x7 Prop. Regards Bob -

Hi Paul, Sorry the Dulux didn't work so well I shall probably go for the car paint option, I have used it before and its ok provided its well sealed with fuel proofer. incidentally which retract option are you using? I am a long way behind you, Iast did a scratch build from a plan about 45 Years ago, at the moment I have almost completed the Fuselage and I am contemplating ordering the Unitracts. Cheers Bob
-
Hi Paul Thanks for confirming that. As for the wing I might try steaming the main spar to introduce a bend. I would be interested to know how the Dulux works out. Bob

Hi everyone I have just started my build, so far I have cut out the Fuselage Formers F1 to F5. I note that the plan and the Magazine state the left side of the Fuselage is shorter than the right, is this correct ? To give Right Side Thrust I think the opposite should apply.
