Cymaz, that at would be brilliant, thanks.

Does anyone have the dimensions from the firewall (stand off mount) to the prop driver?, the only dimension not included on the evolution website! i am trying to work out what engine to get for my Seagull Spitfire; the firewall template is for the OS 22GT, but it's supposed to be a 26-38cc plane, so I'd hate the OS 22 to be underpowered, particularly when it's 100 quid more than a mintor or Evo 33.

Setup & Tips For Electric Collective Pitch RC Helicopters
Reno Racer replied to Ben M's topic in Book Club
You can also do a YouTube search for finless bob; highly recommended build and setup videos. -
Just ordered their. Baby Blender Bipe, so might report back when it arrives. I do like flite test, they do some very good reviews and I like their approach, puts the fun back into the hobby and all at minimal cost.

John, have a look here **LINK**

Looks a bit like a Tiger Tail or a Daddy Rabbit, both classic pattern aircraft. You would be amazed how well and precise they will fly, probably why there is now a resurgence. If you have the opportunity to get this, get it. My flying buddy in the US can knife edge his Kaos all day long, a similar design.

Very nice, now where the sun gone, I need to fly now!

I had an ASP 61 fitted to a H9 Pulse XT40, it flew perfectly fine through all clubman aerobatics without having the throttle at WOT all the time. It was fitted with a MA K Series 12x6 prop. equally, I now have a WOT4 ARF fitted with a evolution 52 2 stroke (fantastic engine) on a 12x6 APC and with a Genisis quiet throttle pipe. It's really quiet, but has a crazily excessive amount of power and most of the time flys at 1/2 throttle. The ASP 61 FS from my Pulse would have flown this fine. i'd also add that reading US forums does not give a balanced view, having lived their for 2 years and flown there at least 2 days a week. They overpower everything. After all, the plane is supposed to fly on the wing, nit be dragged through the sky irrespective. Edited By Reno Racer on 28/05/2014 07:06:40

BTW the 11 blade Wemotec Midi Evo fan was tested yesterday in the airframe. It's very quiet for an EDF and very jet sounding. I also noticed that that front intake is like a 1500 watt vacuum cleaner and nearly sucked in my plastic bag of parts - I'll have to watch that! Don,t want to hover up the grass at the field or worse, a small animal!

A bit more progress on the RBC Kits Gloster G40 designed by Ton. Glassed and painted, major decals applied and some panel lines done. I decided to build a scale looking take off dolly, but I check it works first before added any more work to this. Pilot, although not exactly period, is really good quality. It was a HM forces RAF pilots from a few years ago. Cut his legs off, but I bought 2 complete with all fast jet clothing etc on Ebay for 16 quid.

I'm keeping it light, just aileron and elevator ( 16g MG servos) and either bungee or dolly take offs, power is by the new Wemotec 11 bladed Midi Evo fan, 100 A ESC and 2x 3S 4000mah Lipos. Weighing about 4 lbs with over 1200 watts of power should make for jet like performance, even without using all throttle stick travel ( which will also reduce A drawn and thus increase duration). aiming for first primer coat this weekend! followed by more sanding! more sanding, then more painting.

Not a lot of info on this kit, only a few YouTube videos (mostly converted to P20 turbine). This is my second kit of this aircraft. Although about 7 years ago since my last build, it all came flooding back and thus only took a month to build, glass and get ready for first primer coat. More to keep Ton happy than anything, since he designed the kit ( and it is very well designed- a laser cut jigsaw puzzle), here's a few shots of her to date.
