    Rings for Rossi .60

    Fellow member @Whiskey Joe asked me where he might find replacement rings for a Rossi .60 that is in an airplane he acquired. Anyone? I'm not up on Rossi engines and, as far as I know, nobody has stepped up to replace the products that Bowman had been providing prior to his retirement. Thanks...

    Full Scale Moved to Scale Sub-Forum

    Hey folks, Was talking to @WMcNabb today and he asked me why the full scale sub-forum has always been in the "Other Topics area which doesn't get listed in the Active Threads stream. It's a long story but after we kicked it around a bit it seemed that if there's a killer example of a full...

    One of two 2.4ghz radios that I have and since I have more receivers for the other one, this one's for sale. Comes with two Optima 9 receivers, the radio itself is very low time, it was in a few different airframes but none of them flew much. I actually like this radio better than the JR9503...

    Scale Question..How many EXPERIMENTAL builders out there?

    Was just wondering how many of you guys are moonlighting in the garage (vs. the basement shop) building a homebuilt aircraft?

    Anyone ever seen engine metal like this?

    These pics are from a friend of mine @Cub Man , it's a YS .61 two stroke. It seemed to be running fine until is wasn't and when he took it apart he found the metal appeared to have become crystaline. Weird!
