    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    Ok...:focus:.... ;). My Krill came with only one phenolic rudder horn and on slot in the rudder. I personally like the security of two horns to capture the ball ends. Since I had some nice AC grade aluminum the same thickness as the phenolic I decided to make new horns from that. Bonus is...

    Cool old school planes??

    Sad to say...it was totaled by its new owner :mad: less than 2 months after I sold it in '92. The dumbass ran it out of gas on his way back from a meet. Landed in an orange grove in FL, tore up both wings, landing gear, prop and bent the fuse up. He was relatively unhurt.....although if I'd...

    Cool old school planes??

    OK...here's the story and some pics. Back in the '80's and early 90's I was flying my Pitts S1-T in Unlimited IAC. Did very well with it, winning the IAC Championship in '88. Best thing that ever happened to me with this wonderful plane was meeting the love of my life in '89 and now wife of...

    Prop Rip

    I love the Biela 26x10 3-blade on my DA120. On cans it's very quiet and still has plenty of low speed pull for 3D, but is an awesome IMAC prop. On tuned pipes it'll start to rip a little, and of course pulls even harder. Not what I would call loud, but more so than on cans with this engine.

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    I lay awake at night...:confused:. Sometimes my neat ideas don't bear fruit...at least on the first pass. Case in point - if you noticed on the 1st pic in my last post you'll see some lovely 1" aluminum exhaust extensions. Well, I happen to already have headers, but they needed 1" more drop...

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    For a choke lever I like a push/pull rod....easy, foolproof, and no servo needed.....but I DIDN"T want to cut/drill my cowling and have it sticking out below! So...I extended the DA choke arm a bit, for extra leverage and hooked it to a CF rod epoxied into a ball link. Made up a little guide...

    Yep...all fixed and flew it last weekend a bit. Glad to have it back in flying condition. Also found motorbox bottom loose, pipe mounts busted and a couple other fatigue cracks in ply structures. All good now!!! Eric...my pants stop when they hit the floor!:brian-banana:

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    Landing light anyone? OK, I know this is not scale, but I couldn't resist the urge to install one of Electrodynamics super bright daylight visible lights. It has a very bright LED surrounded by a plastic Fresnel lens and lives up to it name! Since my "carb air inlet" isn't really functional, I...
