Mr Sam Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 re-arranging some of those words in google came up with a nice little RCM&E 1975 free plan of a pylon racer herealso while searching it i notice July issue this yeah had a nice little cussat racer, might try get hold of a copyand another mag had a free plan called the okie swinger that also looks rather simularim hoping when i get a reliable engine in it and the CofG right its going to be a right little speed machine, and i dont even have to fold the seats down in the car to transport it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Sam Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 dont worry the plane came with the MDS (i nearly didny buy it because of this) temptation got the better of me and it seemed to run fine on the ground even with the nose up test but once in the air its a bag of nails and has a mind of its own, it almost cost me the aircraft when it cut on the 4th flight, when i got home it emediatly went in the bini cant afford an OS 30 FX so settling for an SC32 when i get down to the model shop later todaybut yes ive heard nothing but bad press about the MDS engines, mixed opinions on why there so rubbish some say design tollerances are none egsistant some reccon its the carbs on them, i know when mine had warmed up and i re-checked compresion there was a hell of alot of play between the con rod and piston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
