    Looks great. Pretty sure I will need to have one of these at some point.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Took the super sportster out for some fun today. Little joker flys nice. Doesn't like to slow down so I think I will have to learn how to do some side slip landings to help scrub speed on landings as I really had to drive it to the ground. Slimmed it up real good.

    Sport Restoring The Laser

    Lol. Nothing I can't knock out on the table saw real quick and glue could cure while I'm at work. I'm sure one of my dle55's would pull it around fine.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Maidened the little super sportster40 today. Enya40 ran great until the fuel tank developed a leak causing a dead stick. Then in true CJ fashion for a CJ plane I almost crashed it.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Got the super sportster40 ready to go this evening. All setup in the radio and will give it a shot at a maiden tomorrow. Felt weird charging up a Nicad battery pack.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Yeah don't get me wrong big blocks sound good but nothing like a rev happy small block and it's gotta be a pushrod motor. My dad has a 03 cobra pushing 650 to the tires and it sounds awesome but for some reason those overhead cam motors just don't sound as good.

    I will have to look and see. Pretty sure I do but will have to find them.

    True I did love the sound of my 302 in my 89 coupe with the 500 lift cam.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Well this is my first ever enya and never seen a Rossi. I do really like the carb on this enya though. Solid piece of aluminum that was machined to specs. Not a cast housing like on newer nitro engines. Though I will admit I don't like the mess of nitro nothing beats the sound and smell of it.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    Fox bodies did so good because ford put a decent motor back in it and put a suspension under it that was easily and cheaply modded. Factory four link rear, spend about $500 in control arms, springs, and shocks and you got a killer rear suspension.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Got the little enya40 freed up this morning on the super sportster. Took soaking overnight in some old nitro, a couple squirts of Kano Kroil (badass penetrating oil), and some heat from the heat gun. Fresh #8 OS glow plug installed and will get it running Monday morning. Little joker makes more...
