    OPenTX radios are very capable. The quality isn't always though. My flying buddy has a couple of Power Box Mercury Power Management boxes, what a pain to set up. I think David is considering PB as well.

    Why, because they sound so nice in a scale airplane? No thanks, I had my fill of barking two strokes at Wally's Squadron.:agree-disagree:

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    As I think of it maybe the problem is the left cylinder is sealing better than the right and keeping the oil on the combustion side. Now that I have the plane trimmed, I'm flying it much longer so we shall see before the end of the season. The problem isn't too severe and the engine provides...

    The later, one side fires, the second fires 1 rev later. Not sure how the original ignition worked, the pickup was on the cam gear. I assume there are two magnets. When I sent it to CH Ignition for conversion, a magnet and hall sensor were installed on the crank nose. So it is working in a...

    Does Futaba make a module for engine RPM? Wouldn't you be able to access the ignition through the door?

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Keep in mind that the engine is lubricated via blow by. Oil from the gas lubricates the bottom end. The new plugs corrected the miss, flew five flights today without a cruising speed miss. I noticed the ring around the fouled plug was clean, I looked at the plug under the microscope and it...

    What did you make with your lathe/mill today?

    Looking for a Lathe/Mill project. While flying yesterday I decided to modify the gas cap on the Champ. When I made the cap didn't have a straight knurling tool so I used the diamond shaped tool.. Found a few on the web from Harfington. Never bought from them before. Bought 1mm and 1 1/2mm pith...

    I was at a fly in last week.. My casual observation was that it seemed the most expensive aircraft were controlled by Jeti radio. I on the other hand is using FrSky!

    Picked up a miss in the engine, seems to be getting worse as time goes on. Decided to check the plugs. It appears the left cylinder is getting more oil than the right. I know when I took the left cylinder head off there was plenty of oil in the cylinder after sitting for almost a year. Note...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Compensating for lack of right thrust. Four more flights today at the BAMS (Butler Area Modelers Society). The field is a north/south runway, tuff to fly in the morning. Got there at 1400 and the place was empty, four flights and left at 1600, called it Miller Time. Tomorrow I plan to fly at...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Put two flights on the Champ at Wally's Squadron and went out this morning to my home field and put 6 flights on it. About 25% of the club is at Wally's so no one was there. I have been playing with throttle to elevator mix and have it dialed in now at 10%. A lot of the problems I experienced...

    Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread

    Here are a few select photos of what I thought were unique. The racer was a very nice build. The two green Edge 540's were RC Sky Wing, one had a 170 I believe the other had a DA 200, the pilots hammered them hard but the stayed together! Must be a great design. The Fly baby was beautiful as...

    This is how I do it. The bars have flat surfaces on top and bottom.

    What did you make with your lathe/mill today?

    Can't tell for sure but it looks like you have a QCTP, if so why did you need to make the tool holder? I just put the boring bars right in the tool holder.

    I think the wording on the link is incorrect, should read pre 1950's rather than post?
