    Pilot 40% 330 Recover and Build

    Wings done. The left wing setup progressed much quicker than the right. Course there have been three full length movies to get there. Lol. I really like the servo end safety locks. Makes things much safer and very easy to use. And the allen head servo screws are too nice to not use them...

    I am pretty sure Mother Nature doesn't like me. The forecast for today was supposed to be cloudy. Not rain. Rain all freaking day! Ugh!! So much the better. I will put the time to good use. I know of two 330 wings that need servos and programming. So... let's do this. First the servo cutouts...

    I guess I need to elaborate a little bit and maybe explain myself a little better. I am not really disappointed in the 157. It has always been a badass engine. It will Rip the snot out of a Falcon 32x10. So much so that when it unloads in the air it's almost not enough prop. That is why I have...

    Change of plans. I chose to toss a couple of flight packs and the Falcon 32x10 at the new 330. I just couldn't resist or wait. The wings can be done later. But tonight after work was all devoted to awakening the beat 157cs. Due to being pulled apart to update the induction system, she was as dry...

    Pilot 40% 330 Recover and Build

    Quite a bit accomplished tonight guys. The post man was so kind as to leave a very much needed package from the "G" man. Yup, those rascal KS Comfort Headers made it today. So I went to work bolting them down to my favorite header board. Bolt them down, stuff a wooden dowel in the open end and...

    My buddy here has three Moki radials. One 250 with exposed valve train, one 250 with enclosed and a 150. It is true what is said about them. Ever so sa-weet. Been contemplating for sometime to purchase his P47 with the enclosed valve train 250. I just don't know though. Really want to get the...

    Not much accomplished tonight fellas. No steam... But I did at least manage to connect the rudder to the tail wheel tiller for steering. She's on the stands and waiting for the new KS Comfort Headers. They should ne here tomorrow... maybe Friday at the latest. Do I detect the distant rip of...

    Pilot 40% 330 Recover and Build

    A little progress after work. The elevator servo installation and programming was a walk in the park. Granted, I did have to swap out titanium turnbuckles to accommodate the different distance between servo arm and the elevator control horn. But that was pretty quick. Adjusted them down until my...

    The 330 should come in around 37-39 pounds. I'm shooting for 35-37. My SD 260 was 42 and some change with fuel. However the newer designed airframes are much much lighter as per pilots and builders desire more agile airframes. Most any 40 center flies really well with a 150cc class engine. A lot...

    Oh you needn't worry bout that. If it says 3W on it, I am sure I won't be disappointed.

    Thank you David. I'm liking it more as I get closer to having it complete. Sorry you've not heard from Gerhard. I called him first thing this morning. He answered right away. Maybe shout at him on the tele?

    Ah yeah. That is why I use the fuel tubing, (nitro medium) and zip tie method. Always positive and never fails.

    So after a short nappy-nap... I took my youngest to breakfast this morning then got right back on the 330. Wow! For all that has been done, there is still so much to complete. This is what I accomplished today. Most everything in the forward nose of the motor box is done, so now it is time to...

    So this 4 in the morning bedtime thing is becoming a habit it seems. I guess as long as I make progress, it's all good right? So what progress you may quandary? Well let's just say we're getting there. Rudder cables adjusted and attached... Tail wheel installed... Oh yes, that would be the...
