    In truth.......It has been a long while for this build/assembly. But that is just fine for me. I have learned to " savor " the anticipation of a new toy! Household / environmental needs have destroyed my "wish list" but I have GSN buddies to get me through it! @ChickenBalls @Madinpensacola...

    ZDZ 112 Champion mounting

    Have to agree a partly open (I use about quarter stick) throttle butterfly helps for faster prime during choke. The jets on these carbs is in close proximity of the throttle butterfly and if it is fully closed makes it a bit more difficult for fuel to be picked up in the air stream.

    I have been racking my brain over the "exhaust" set up on this air frame. One could barely squeeze a couple of small canisters for a twin but this plane was obviously built for a single 60cc class engine. I am going to put my modeling experience to the test and use the 2n1 header to make a 2n1...

    As a young man I had my share of touring bikes and pocket rockets. It was when I laid down my KZ 1000 is when I called it quits many moons ago. Now power to weight is insane! much less drivers not being able to see a motor bike in time. Free touring and daily driving a bike is awesome and I do...

    Setting up SmartFly W/Futaba question ?!

    I run a Power Expander Pro with the R6014HS. It also has / supports 10 Channels but since I sold my 10c and now fly the 14sg I run a 4 Ail 2 Flp wing configuration and simply reassign the two flap channels (7&8) for Ele2 Rud2 assignments. The 6014 Rx will physically follow the SF boards in...

    Some progress! But......Going to have to over come header drop and off set. The 2n1 header comes in a short or long drop. Short is 50mm and the long is 70mm. Of course I have the short but it is not short enough. I measured and found that a 35mm drop would put it center of the pipe tunnel...

    DA 120 with onboard Tach.

    Get some plumbers tape and use your exacto #11 to cut a 1/8" wide piece 3" long. Wrap the screw just a couple of times.

    WOW!..Va Beach has changed! Much more "friendly" thrill seeking experience's to be sought. I don't remember it quite like that (1979) but alcohol was involved in my thrill seeking:cheers:. Eyeball candy was thrilling as well:).
