    Weird Behaviors Solved through Troubleshooting

    Yikes! That would definitely make me pay attention to how well things are attached around the firewall. Thanks for sharing. -Paul

    Any Boaters on here?

    YES! Grew up boatracing and water skiing. First love is boatracing. Will post some pics later. My user name is alky6 which is after the Mercury Mark 78 6 cylinder that was converted to alcohol, heads welded in, and three additional carburetors added to the side along with megaphone exhaust. It...

    Yes, I love my 78 Extra. But like others, any video I post if I had any, would have you guys in stitches. LOL.

    So where is everyone from? Countries? States?

    What about Indianapolis? Hard to beat the brickyard or Indy 500. Hey don't shoot me... I come from the land where they make NASCAR turn right!

    Did that as well also. Easy fix with the starter though! However, I haven't had to use the starter lately on the VVRC 40cc.

    Lets See Your Foamy's

    45" Edge scratch built with a KFm-4 airfoil. Been pretty beat up but flies really nice and handles the moderate winds. Uses a balsa LE for extra stiffness of the wing. -Paul 7806=2922-image.jpg 7806=2923-image.jpg

    glow pilot

    Guilty. Though I really do like alky and castor oil - just much better when burned in a two-stroke racing outboard - doesn't require any nitro and doesn't make one hell-of-a-mess like it does on the airplanes. It is sad when buying nitro in small quantities today - say 1 gallon - that it is...

    Weird Behaviors Solved through Troubleshooting

    Thought this would be a good thread to start. Essentially a place to post interesting or odd behaviors that presented a challenge but were eventually sorted out. There is definitely no substitute for experience. But I sure have learned a lot on these forums and hopefully this is a way to give...

    So where is everyone from? Countries? States?

    Dixon, California. Small little agricultural community about 20 miles west of Sacramento. Got a nice road separating two fields that I fly off of. Have to play nice with the crop dusters and my buddies that farm the property.:shaking-hands-smile

    Old time Fav Slime Plane!

    LOL. I have been flying mine that I recently completed as a means to work on IMAC sequences - without the fear of crashing my EF78. It really does fly very nicely. Very stable and is able to handle the basic sequences including spins quite well. I am really enjoying it. Dreaming of a 104"...

    2-stroke oil,what works,what doesn't

    Yep! The two-stroke version is somewhat hard to find. Auto parts stores cary mostly the four-stroke stuff... -Paul

    I have had very good luck with the glacier packs and great service from EP Buddy - now BuddyRC.

    2-stroke oil,what works,what doesn't

    Their offices/warehouse are located about 35 minutes from my house. However, depending how much I order, it sometimes is cheaper for me to just have them ship it and I get it the next day. So I have done both. -Paul
