Steve Dunning Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Lovely flying shots by David A. The blue sky and sunshine really makes a difference to how the colours stand out. Well done Peter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry westrop Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Just noticed the Adag......yes, good flight shots & I've never before seen such a colourful example! What pipe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Burgess Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Terry, the pipe is a Just Engines 60 power pipe. I first got the pipe to try and reduce the noise output, well it did a bit. Of greater significance was the leap in power output. On the supplied silencer the engine was turning a G-Sonic 14x7 at about 9200rpm, with the pipe it turns a 14x11 at 9000 That turned an OK model (PB Calibre) into an exciting one! The Adagio has a G-Sonic 15x8 and a 15x10, the 15x8 turns at 9200. Both give the Adagio unlimited verticals. There maybe some words and pics appearing in RCME in about 8 weeks time (There are further pics of the engine & pipe back on page 23) Edited By Peter Burgess on 21/01/2016 09:25:17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry westrop Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Ah, thought it might be & I would agree, that pipe is outwardly similar to the Hatori (expensive) pipes, but internally not, hence the minimal noise suppression. Tuned pipes generally, are easier to design for more rpm, but to reduce noise also is rather more difficult. I'm not at all surprised the Adag has unlimited vertical on that set up Peter! Have you tried a 14x12 at all? Well done for getting some exposure in the mag's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Burgess Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Martyn, the engine is an NGH GT17 (petrol) Terry, No I have not tried a 14x12 but have used a APC 14x11 on the Calibre. What make of pipes are good for noise reduction?

Junior 60 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Would the Veron Concord comply? I have an unbuilt kit in my pile of things to get around to. Full of 1960's spindle moulded balsa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn K Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Is it one of these? Than - yes - it certainly would comply but would not be as agile as say a Kwik Fli or Uproar from the same era. It would be great to see it though - so please build it and bring it along.

Junior 60 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Yes, that's her. It was a model I lusted after in my youth but couldn't afford. Picked the kit up on E Bay some time ago but haven't had time to do more than look at the contents and put it on top of my pile of things to build along with about another 20 boxes of trad models of all RC types. If it's not considered sacrilegious I will convert to electric. As for agility, I am not as agile on the sticks as I was so I think we will be equally matched! I love the designs from the 60's to the 80's which I suppose were my RC formative days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin McIntosh Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Martyn, I digress a little but did you get my emails to yourself and the GBCAA about the 1962 WC`s at Kenley. There is a thread on this site which even shows videos of Kwik Fly, Uproar and a whole lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn K Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hi Martin Yes I did receive it - apologies. I have been rather snowed under at work and then rushing to get the newsletter and renewal out. There was this thread on here but I have been unable to find the article on Classic Pattern However, there is this one at Genk - is this the one you meant?

Martyn K Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 Hi Phil We have no hard and fast rules. The group exists to promote the building and flying of F3A Aerobatic aircraft that were designed prior to 1984. The reality is that many models may not quite fit this comfortable description, either by date or type but that hasn't actually stopped people bringing them along and having a good time. That certainly looks like an interesting model. I'd like to see it fly. Martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
