    Yippee! What the postman brought

    So, at 3:20 the mail carrier filled the mail boxes and I? Well, I was waiting for him. He said he had two packages for me. My first quandary was, " Are they damaged?" You all have to understand the Epley vs. The United States Postal Service drama. Nearly "everything" that comes via the post...

    Scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang

    Yeah, no way out now. Lol Honestly I do not know. I did not get the chance to talk to him. Only his wife. She said she would have him call me back. However, my understanding is he just got back from surgery. So I am sure it will take him a while to get caught up. He was on the line to Germany...

    Scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang

    After lovingly and "respectfully" playing with my buddies 240 (4) cylinder, I knew in my heart I "needed" a Kolm. I also knew one day I would just have to bite the bullet, swallow hard and make the call. And now, I realize it wasn't so hard to make the call after all. Just means I won't be...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Interestingly enough it has been raining cats and dogs here since this morning. So wet in fact, we got off work early. Which means... I literally am sitting at the front door waiting for that gorgeous red head to show up. I sure hope she dont change her mind and go stay with some other stick...

    Well now I have really done it! I just talked with Daphne over at Vogelsang Aero scale. They have one Kolm 150cc 3-cylinder long Edition in stock. Guess who just put his name all over it? Whoo hoo.. I be getting a Kolm boys! Kolm 150+Behemoth Stang=

    Scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang

    That dream is a dream he and I have had since we started flying. It isn't anything for us to take off side by side, play tag or follow the leader or do Nascar racing in the sky with our 100cc Pilot planes. We've flown together so much, we can almost read each others minds. We will set up an...

    Scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang

    So I received a reply to me email to John Munson. He regrettably apologized, however he is not able to take any further customer orders for the prop reduction unit. It seem that like many of us, life and family got in the way of his hobby. He says he barely has enough time to work on his own...

    Scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang

    Part of your information is correct. Originally the CARF Mustang had the 3 cylinder. Later came the four cylinder. This is one of the 4 cylinder models. Clocked at 190 mph. If you go to YouTube and type in CARF Mustang Kolm engine, there are about nine million videos. Oh and also do a search...

    Sport 50CC AMR STICK THREAD

    Are you able to post a photo of looking right at the wing tip from the end? Are you doing the wing in one color too and bottom? Or did I see white on the opposite side of the yellow? I may have a suggestion for you either way. If two separate colors, always...always...always do the bottom first...

    This is probably the exact setup that I will do if I cannot locate a Drive Unit.

    Scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang

    I located the maker of the prop deduction Drive Unit. His name is John Munson. He states that he makes them special order her application. I just hope this email is still valid and that he is still building them.

    Scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang

    Oh trust and believe, the Kolm engines turn a 4 bladed prop no problem. And talk about speed? If I remember correctly, The Galloping ghost was clocked at over a hundred and sixty-seven miles per hour. And that is without the proper reduction.

    Scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang

    Interestingly enough, I have actually been looking into those. Have not been able to locate them. But that is exactly what I wanted to do. I mean after all if it's a Mustang, it needs a 4 blade prop.
