    ok, does anyone have a recommendation for a good ARTF Zero fighter with retracts??

    Hi, i have just bought a new carb from Just Engines for my old ASP 75 two stroke engine.   However, when i put the new carb on the engine and link up the throttle arm to the pushrod, the servo really struggles to open and close the carb, and if i tighten the bolt that holds the carb in place it wont move it at all.   i have taken the carb off again and it is not stiff or having problems moving when im using my fingers and i cant work out the problem. Theres nothing snagging the pushrod and the servo is working fine with a fully charged battery.   Any help to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.   Cheers.   Ben.

    Hi all,    Does anyone know where i might be able to scoop up a Seagull Models Zero anywhere?? or even if anyone is selling one could they let me know, i have been looking for a zero for ages and also really like Seagull Models as i have a few already.   I know that they have stopped making the Zero but if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be fantastic.   Cheers and Happy Flying.   Ben.  =D

    I have upgraded to carbon under carriage on bith planes and put an alluminium spinner on the Ultimate.

    This has an ASP 75 two stroke installed for maximum power.

    i am using an OS F type plug but there is, not excessive amounts but more smoke than there proberbly should be so i will lean it out a bit more and keep trying Cheers.

    The engine is new its only been run a few times im using a 5% nitro fuel, i have checked everything for air leaks and looseness and i had to tighten up the exhaust port, the prop drive is as it should be ie. not smooth, i have also got the needle valve set at about 1.5 turns now but im sure its still the idle screw in the wrong place becaust as soon as i take off the glow plug it will cut out and i have checked the plug and thats fine.

    well i have tried the method of using sanding paper to grip the prop and this seems to have stopped it backfiring everytime i start it the only problem i have now it the engine dies out when i take off the glow plug at idle even when the trim is maxxed out to open it, but i guess this will need the idle mixture screw adjusting. Thanks for all the help.

    the spinner I'm using doesnt have a back plate that goes behind the prop. The prop is pushed on first against the front of the engine then the part of the spinner with the cutouts is put on, followed by the washer, prop nut and locking nut and then the front of the spinner which screws to the back piece. I have also had a couple of other people check that the prop and locking nuts are tightened sufficiently and still the problem persists. Could I send it off to somewhere like Just Engines and have them service it or somewhere that will do it. Thanks. Ben

    I have got a locking nut on the front, when I said its throwing the prop what I meant its undoing the lock nut and the prop is freely spinning and I am using an electric starter to turn it over which is another reason I can't understand why it keeps backfiring.

    I have an SC 91 Four Stroke that is installed in my Ultimate Bipe, the problem im having is that every time i try to start the engine it will backfire and throw the prop. I have been in contact with a couple of people and have adjusted the tappets so that they are in the correct positions as the gap was a bit too big and the 0.10mm feeler guage passed through too easily and im opening the needle valve about 2 - 2 1/2 turns and it still backfires every time. I dont think its the fuel because i am using Four Stroke fuel and glow plug. i dont know what else to try. Hope someone can help me out with this. Cheers.

    As I am converting my Fox to rc I bought a small Corona reciever to put in it, homever I noticed that it needs a micro single conversion crystal in it. Now my question is if I get a micro crystal for it, will it still work with my standard futaba crystal already in my Tx as long as its still on the same channel? Cheers. Ben

    i was thinking of doing this but as i dont know anything about motors and stuff could someone point me in the right direction of a motor and speed controller to add to my Fox. I dont want it to be particulatly fast just be able to pull it round at a comfortable speed.  Cheers.   Ben

    Well on saturday i'm going to run and fit a .75 2-stroke that will replace the .52 2-stroke thats in my Edge 540 so it will be pretty well powered to say the least and should make like a homesick angel at full power. Then on sunday i'm going to Weston and i want to try and get my hands on a Kyosho BF-109 and possibly a Seagull Ultimate bipe. So a fun filled weekend for me.
  22. Ben Kelly
    How about a Jumper 25 from seagull models it takes a .25 - .32 2 stroke but being as your engine is so old it would suit this perfectly.

    Hi, sry for the late reply as i have been away the weekend and have only got back today, i have sorted the problem as it seems that my computer was low on memory so i have goten rid of alot of things i dont need anymore, i knew it wasn't going to be the graphics card because i bought that specifically to play MS flight sim X. Thanks for the replies.
  24. Ben Kelly
    basically when I'm playing about on the sim it makes my computer crash and restart. Anyone know why this might be happening or any solutions? Cheers.
  25. Ben Kelly
    ohh yes count me in on this one I love warbirds and seagull kits so this is the ultimate combination. Hope I win.
