    Wanted Dave Patrick Ultimate 120 Plans

    I took a set of Dave Patrick's Bucker Jungmann plans from the Goldberg kit and enlarged them from 62" to 86". I had a kit so I was able to take the critical fuselage shaping formers and trace them to enlarge them. Cut new larger formers to keep the fuselage shape. Instead of using lite ply...

    Covering Contest/Pilot 40% 122" Extra 330SC

    I want to add what a stand up guy Luchnia is! I’m the president of CVRC which is the club he donated his contest winnings to in order to provide a door/raffle prize for a future club event. Our club is fairly small and generosity like this helps keep the club going. People helping others is...

    Chris - wish I could be there. Unfortunately I have a funeral to attend this Saturday. I'll catch up with you soon. Don't forget CVRC is having another fly-in & cookout on October 14th. Don

    3D 20cc Giles 202 Profile

    Hey BalsaDust, That's a little too small for my selection of motors....how about enlarging it to the 50-60cc range! We're going to have an impromptu cookout at the CVRC field late Sunday afternoon. Come up to fly and eat with us. Bring a drink...we have the food covered. Don

    Cool The I'm going out flying thread 2017

    BalsaDust - If that is Bright Yellow Ultracote, I've got some PPG Concept paint that matches. You can mix just a tad and use a brush to touch up if you don't want a new cowl. Already appears to have been touched up near the cowl inlet. Don

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    The total turnaround was about 10 days. All they wanted was the carb and a service request form. I might go ahead put it back in my original EF 110 Yak with the KS 3086 cans to check it out. Then I'll have a good head to head comparison with Yak#2 that you've seen.

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    Here are the instructions and setting I received. I'm not including a picture of the carb as you can't see any difference from the outside. I looked for a good while trying to find something new about it. This note was on the shipping paper/invoice (no charge for this work by DA): D2 Mod...

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    Luchnia, I just got my DA 120 carb back from having the modification done to it. I currently don't have the engine in a plane at the moment so you are welcome to give my carb a try. Just let me know and I'll bring it to the field one day. It does come with specific instructions on the new...

    Bucker Jungmann - Scratch Built 86" Wingspan

    I've started this project a few years ago, but since I'm now retired I finally have some time to get serious about completing the build. Years ago I had a Goldberg Bucker Jungmann with a YS 120 that I really enjoyed flying. I lost it when the elevator servo failed in the full up position. I...

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

    Cam, I have a couple of suggestions on your balancing rig: 1. Make the plywood pieces significantly smaller and lighter. I think the size and weight of your plywood pieces may have an impact on the CG. 2. Make a spreader bar that is the same width as the fuselage in order to keep the...

    Sport Where to get foam for foam core wings????

    I like your airplane hauler....Toyota Matrix or Pontiac Vibe. I bought mine specifically with hauling a plane to the field. With the fold flat front seat I can haul a 50 - 70cc plane no problem.

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

    There are a number of metals vendors on the Internet that have this kind of material, but I suggest looking for a local vendor. Sometimes they will let you search through their "drops" inventory which are pieces left over after they custom cut lengths for customers. They usually sell it at a...

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

    I can't take credit for the idea, but here's a sanding jig I made to true up the edges of balsa sheeting before gluing. It is a 3" aluminum channel with 1.5" legs and a 2"x 2" aluminum angle bolted to one of the channel legs. It has a piece of the sticky back sand paper on the back of the 2"...
