    I have also heard to stick a piece of felt between the counterbalance and the surface just enough to put some friction there and it will stop the gitters

    IMAC Double Build, Carden Pro 124" Extra 300 40%

    Not sure the method for ultracote but for monocote you can spray it down with windex (that has ammonia in it) and place your top piece of covering over it. Get it in the right place and squeegee it out. Let it dry overnight then you can go over it lightly with the iron to seal it all down. The...

    No need to measure. A buddy of mine has one that I can look at at some point. I'm gonna print the plans up stock and see how things all look. I have a couple different engine choices in my shop that I can consider. Was just looking at horizons website and they sell a Saito 14cc gasser but saito...

    I guess my question about the 23 is how wide is the engine? Looking at the plans for this the fuse is only about 5-1/2" wide. I don't mind the velocity stack sticking out the side of the cowl but I certainly don't want the muffler hanging out as well. Maybe I should scale the plane up by about...

    Personally I don't like it but it's your airplane. Kinda like when you told me not to use green on a plane.

    Yeah the DLE 20 can turn a 18x6 but the 17" prop just spools faster which is what we like in 3D.

    I run a 17x6 on my DLE20 for my slabs. That's the right prop for when trying to 3D at least.

    Maybe so. I have a saito 100 and os 120 surpass nitro engines but to me on a scale plane it needs to be gas or electric. Got to imagine it's tough to clean nitro off of a fabric surface. I have found a couple other sets of SE5 plans that I like even more than these but they all have under...

    Who knows really. The link says his weighed 8lbs and he flew it with a 61 two stroke. I have my dle 20 currently on a 8-1/2lb plane and its a touch anemic but it is also a 3D slab that I like ballistic power. Kinda why I'm thinking a G23 as its not going to make the power a DLE20 will make.

    These are the plans I have found that I'm thinking of building from. Nick Ziroli plans so they should be good to build from.

    That looks Badass. The one I'm looking to build says projected weight of around 8lbs.

    Yeah I like the looks of it and the one thing I have noticed with some of the locals who have WWI birds if they still end up needing nose wieght so why not go with a plane that has a longer nose so as not to need to add extra weight. I have a DLE20 but plan to mount it on a 3D slab (you will...

    Welcome. You will find us a very helpful group on here and hopefully we will find you just as helpful. I'm thinking of starting a scale build here in the near future so I will need you guys. Gonna print up a set of SE5 plans. Set I found looks like it would be a good match with a 20cc gasser.
