SUPERTIGRE - RCLibrary

f

SUPERTIGRESUPERTIGRE is on the move

in 1978! New and coming, shownin the circle above, is the crank-case for the ST X-11 R/C Sch-

nuerle. In 1978 we have also had

the Supertigre X-80 rear exhaustand side exhaust. Both of these

engines have front induction.We have pipes and elbows forthe 60's along with pipes forthe X45 rear exhaust. We have

mufflers coming for the X45.

In addition to this we are re

activating an older engine, theG21/40 R/C. It has a retail price

of $66.95 (cat no. 15125) and isan outstanding value for a twinball bearing, ringed engine. Supertigre makes an excellent throttlefor this engine that idles down toa tick. Production of this enginewas a result of a long discussionbetween John Maloney of W.E.and John Kilsdonk of Detroit.

John Kilsdonk is spending alot of time helping beginnersin the Detroit area to fly R/C.He believes that a baffled pistoned40, like the G21/40 Supertigre, isan excellent choice for trainers

like the Sig Cadet or our MissWorld or the RCM Trainer 40.

Engines like the G21/40 aremore tolerant when overpropped,which seems to be the natural

tendency of people flying a lowwing loading airplane like the SigCadet. These engines are in production in Italy and will bearriving in the U.S. about thelast week in November.

In addition to working on thenew 11, Mr. Garofali's nextproject is a rear exhaust 90.Watch coming ads for pictures.

RIB PROFILERA unique, new, adjustable rib profiler

has been introduced by Jim DenaroModel Products, 543 Bedford St. ,Concord, Mass. 01742. Called theTaper Ace,® this patented, templatedevice enables model makers to designand draw rib profiles for built-up taperedwings quickly and precisely. Until now,as modelers know, the task has entailed

THE WING JIG

The original RCM Wing Jig, first published in the August 1967 issue of this magazine made it possible for many modelers to build their airplane wings warp-free and in far less time than it hadpreviously taken. The WING JIG 11 offers many design improvements on the original version that greatly extends both its versatility and the accuracy of the wings produced. It is now usedexclusively in the RCM shop for all building projects.

The WING JIG II consists of two sections hinged tn the middle. Each section consists of a front and back "L" shaped Pase piece. A jig rod support is located at either end of each wing jigsection to mount the rods that support the wing ribs.

The switch to a double length jig that's hinged in the middle makes it possible to build an entire wing, complete with the dihedral called for in the plans, in one operation. Or, theWINGJIQilcanbe setup flat to use both sections to build up a wing panel for one of those big powered or glider jobs. Or, with the dihedral set, a polyhedral wing can be accurately built. II can even be used tojoin foam wing halves to get the dihedral as it should be.

A uniquely designed rod end support makes it possible to true thewing jig rods to order. A simple protractor device makes it possible to setlhedihedralevenwhenit is given in degrees. Theaddition of adjustable end legs make it possible to set the dihedral accurately for each wing panel. New "L" shaped basepiecesassurea warp free jig to startwilh. A yard slick attached to thefront ofthe base pieces helps in spacing the ribs when the wing is set up on the jig. A bubble leveling arrangement assures both wing panels will be true to each other. A new design rod supportmakes it possible to move the two wing jig rods Irom as close as you'dwantthemto6Vi"apart. And, a new technique makes it possible to build those small cord wings with ribs too narrow for twowing jig rod holes.

That's it, the WING JIG 11—the most versatile, easy to use and convenient wmg jig ever designed. Assembly lime is approximately one hour and you'll be ready to build yournext wing fasterand with more accuracy than you ever dreamed possible Ready for assembly.

amplifier. The output of IC2 is one half ofthe difference of roll and pitchcommand voltages. The output at thenew channel 2 is connected to the wirewhich used to be connected to theelevator pot. The 4K pot on the diagramis a small screwdriver adjusted trim potand is used to center the channel 2 servo

when the control stick is "neutral."

The L[VI358 or LM312 integratedcircuits are designed for low voltageoperation and will work well with as tittleas 6 volts connected to the +V supplyterminal. The -V supply terminal on theoperational amplifiers is connected tothe "ground" connection in thetransmitter, and this is usually the case.These amplifiers can be used with anunbalanced supply so only the -fV isneeded. The LM358 has the advantageof having two operational amplifiers(ICl and IC2) in the same package sothat only one device is needed.. This circuit can easily be built on a

small (2" X 2" or less) piece of circuitboard (the fiberglass board with all of theholes — Figure 2) and wrapped in foamand put in an unused corner of thetransmitter case. A double pole-doublethrow switch could be used to switch themixer in and out of the transmitter circuit.It Is recommended that if a switch isused, it is put inside the transmitter caseso that it cannot be flipped accidentally.It might be exciting trying to fly a deltawith the mixer switched out. If you arereally quick, you might rotate thetransmitter box 45°, but I don'trecommend this type of excitement.

BANTAM MIDGET AT LOW PRICE

The newest addition to our tremendously popular 544 servo line is theBantam Midget. It features beautifully engineered D&R mechanics and a newpowerful motor. It is capable of controlling airplanes from VjA to 60 pattern.It is lighter, stronger and taster than anything in its size range. The electronicsis the same as in all our 544 servos and it is the best money can buy: the newesthighly advanced 544AA IC offering internally regulated power supply, dynamicbraking, linear ramp timing and the need for very few external components. Partsare mounted on the most sophisticated PC board in the industry — double sided.

plated inside holes, reflowed in hot oil and manufactured of epoxy glass. We useonly the best pots - CTS metered deposition. The kits are simple, straightforwardand easy to assemble. Our fllte pak approach has been an unbelievable successand many modelers have purchased their 4th or 5th flite pak. If you have beenholding back — don't — you are missing a good thing. With the dollar droppingand high inflation, prices will be going up. Fllte pak prices are sums of component prices and all parts can be mixed.

lo give you onexciting newway lo fly!

Near the end of World War II, German jets screamed throughthe battle skies of Europe. But the hot new Luftwaffe jetscame too few and too late to stop the massive Allied airarmadas that ruined the Reich.

Now Midwest brings you one of Hitler's hottest fighters -the trimly lethal Heinkel 162. Midwest's new stand-off scaleRC model was designed by noted scale model builder NickZiroii. And he designed the He 162 with ducted fans in mind.

The jet pod on the Heinkel will easily accept a .40 Axiflo ductedfan - a lightweight, aerodynamically efficient, low cost kit as

technically advanced as those first German jets.Midwest's He 162 and Axiflo will put new excitement in your flying . . . see it at your hobbydealer today!

ELECTRONIC CONTROL MIXER

from page 114/82

If you wish to change the relativeamount of elevator and aileron control,the resistors connected to 101 and 102

can be changed. For example: todecrease the roll sensitivity, the 100Kresistors which go to the roll pot can beincreased to 120K. This will decrease

the roll sensitivity by approximately20%, For larger changes, the feedbackresistors on 102 should be changed alsoand this will require some calculations.One disadvantage of electronic mixersis the reduced servo movement. Full

movement of the elevator or aileron

control alone only causes the servos tomove one half of their full travel. This can

be compensated for by using largerservo arms or larger control surfaces.

This control mixer circuit was tested

using a Kraft KP4A radio and a largedelta. The delta was designed and builtmostly by Larry Riggs of Tucson, and isshown in the photos. It has a 52" wingspan and 34" length. The airfoil issemi-symmetrical. It is powered by aK & 8 .35. Three channels are used,throttle and the other two for the twocontrol surfaces or "elevons." It Is

reasonably aerobatic and lots of fun tofly. □

them. A compromise when the nutsaren't accessible.

We like the Edson Adjustable EngineMount System because of the simpleand accurate installation and the built-inflexibility. Ours set up easily, quickly,and "right on" with a minimum ofmeasuring, aligning, and such. Whilethe price for the system will turn out a bitmore than other engine mountspresently on the market, remember thatyou won't have lo dump It when youchange engines. Just re-adjust the armsto fit the new engine. That's it. So, while Itmay cost more, it will be working for youfor a long time to come.

Available in various kit combinationsfor Perry Pumps, pattern ships, andsport aircraft through the use of differentengine mounting arms, the Edson MotorMount can be used for .15 to .80 sizeengines. The backplate with a set of longand short arms sells for $6.95 at the timeof this product report. You can find theEdson Enterprises, Inc., UniversalAdjustable Motor Mount at most hobbyshops or at their place of business at 17Speer PI., Nutley, N.J. 07110. (201661-2310. □

no matter what paint you use, your last coat should be

.. .the ultimate finish!

Glaskote is a clear liquid that goes overany painted surface and produces a highgloss finish that is remarkably fuel

resistant. No mixing required.No shortpot life. Quick one-step convenience,

brush or spray, with almost no odor.

Super shine with one coat.The special resins used in Glaskote

opened up a broader world of possibil

ities. It permitted our chemists to

design a formula with a much greaterpercentage of solids than ever before.

This enables Glaskote to achieve in

only one coat, the kind of glossy finish

that was previously possible only with

many coats of dope or with two-part

epoxies.

COAT

I

Goes over any paint.Again, because of it's unique formula,Glaskote is thoroughly compatible

with all paints (epoxies, urethanes,

butyrates, nitrates, enamels, lacquers,etc.) Once you have achieved the color

you want with your favorite brand ofpaint, (not crystal clear over white)

add one final coat of Glaskote and the

finish will be transformed from flat or

semi-gloss to high gloss. It is alsothoroughly compatible with all mode!

airplane coverings, especially Coverite.For example, one quick coat of Glas

kote over Coverite and you have

achieved the gloss of mylars, while

retaining the authentic appearance and

extra strength of Coverite's unique100% polyester fibres.

;t>0PEe\W J

Even beginners love it.You don't have to be an expert to

achieve excellent results with Glaskote.

Although it dries rapidly, it flows likebutter, shows no brush marks, has

perfectly smooth levelling. Undernormal atmospheric conditions,

Glaskote sets up in 30 minutes, and is

completely dry in about 4 hours.

Sands without losingits smile.

Using wet #600 sandpaper, dustparticles can be removed rather easily,without removing the Glaskote shine.

This means that multiple coats ofGlaskote will produce a deep, ultra

high gloss finish suitable for "Toledo"competition.

Fuel falls off like water

on a duck.

High nitro racing fuels and syntheticoils can wreak havoc with model air

plane finishes. But they have no effecton Glaskote, even when allowed to

remain on its surface for an extended

time. In addition, when fully cured,

Glaskote will be quite scratch resistant,

absorbing the abuse of most pit stops

and hard landings.

Remarkably long lasting.You might expect some drawbacks witha product that is as tough as Glaskoteand as shiny; but its remarkable resinskeep working for a long time. Glaskoteis non-tautening, and will remainpliable in all kinds of weather. Glaskotereally is the ultimate finish!

Incidentally, 1 can see great potential forR/C on a string for such events as Navycarrier — you know — 5 or 6 channelsoperating the throttle, flaps, gear, speed'boards', arresting hook, etc., etc. Andthe bird would always spilt the center lineof the deck since the tether would be

affixed to a pylon. Anybody else thinksomething like this has any potential?Please let me know.

AN EASIER AND MORE EXACT

WAY TO MAKE

TAPERED RIBS

By Eddie Kolassa

from the Oct. '78 issue

The best way to look at the doubletaper, is to split it into two separatepanels (Figure 6} with rib^ number 4common to both panels. Maketemplates of rib numbers 1,4, and 8, andsandwich 3 balsa blanks (4 ribs — oneless blank) between 1 and 4, andsandwich 4 balsa blanks (5 ribs — oneless blank) between 4 and 8. Duplicatetemplate number 1 in balsa, and youhave all the ribs. If there is any questionas to the number of blanks needed,count all the ribs In the panel, includingthe ribs the templates are made of, andsubtract one.

Since Cnry Hail's {Omaha, NE) Kiwi wjis painted Rreen and >'filow, a familiar farm equipment color combination, the name John Deere under the cockpit was a natural choice.He added check cowls to the kit desifin and mounted the motor upriKhl instead of inverted.

83 FLY IN 5TH ANNUAL CONTESTA .steady increase in the number of cnnte.slant.s ha.s marked theannual KCt-IORether started in 1974, but no one was quite readyfor the enthusiastic Kang of SiR kit fliers who arrived this year.Entries were about double last yciir and not enoufth Roodies wereon hand to Rive every one of the contestants their souvenir flight kitand Sig cap. So names were taken of late arrivals and prizes weremailerl to them later. Luckily, Bud had ordered plenty of food forhis big free feed and it managed to stretch enough to fill everyoneup and a few hud seconds. Main course on the menu was deliciousbarbecued beef.

With so many contestants, it turned out that there wasn't time forthe usual four fun events so only three were held. The prizes intended for the fourth event were distributed to the other threeso that more lower placed fliers received awards.

A good assortment of Sig kits were flown. Kougars predominated,with Komantlers and Kadets running a close race for second place.Newest kits in the Sig line, the Kavalier and Kiwi, were well represented. Also seen were Skybolts, Liberty Sports, Clipped WingCubs, Komets and Klippers.

Plan to attend next year and get in on the fun!

Bottom Left: Sharp Kougar by Bemie DeBaer (Le Mars, lA).Bottom Right: Judy Skiles (Doer Creek, IN) and her Kavalier. Shehas not been flying long but is doing fine-

Clark Wade installed the K 6c B 6.5 FR RC engineand a Top Flitc 8-3.''4" x 6-1/2" pylon racing prop onhi.s Koug:ir and turned it into a real wild cat. This.40 |>owered streak of lightning appeared to be its fustor faster than some .60 [wwered Kougars. In theOctober, 1978 issue of Model Airplane News, engineexpert Peter Chinn .said", . , the K & B 6.5 FR RCis far and away the most powerful pattern type .40tested to date." Clark's Kougar demonstrated thisspectacularly. Since Cobra Field is out in the boondocks and does not require mufflers, he t<K>k off themuffler supplied with the engine and substituted thestraight pipe that comes on K & B's pylon racing engine. As you can see. some nose modification was required, but it muke.s a fine performing model.

Powered by an O.P.S. .60 with a tuned pipe, there wouldn't have been much kite left if he hurl hit it! Above Right;You can almost hear the rat-tat-tat of machine guns as the Kougar (if looks like Chuck Percy's) peels over at the kite. The kitedid a pretty good j'ob of defending itself this year, bringing clown Gene Strauss' (Falls City, NE) Komander that hit it dead on.but not hurting the model much. Dave Lilt's (Omaha, NE) Skybolt hit the siring, cut the wing and went in hard. Another modelended up with a ball of string on the prop. Next year, back to smaller paper kites instead of big plastic ones and lighter weightsiring! Below Left: Joe Trouba (Omaha, NE) flew this silver and black Komander. .40 powered.

team, that's the way it goes. Have theteam elect its own captain. Assign eachteam a winch. Fly for one hour with twosimple rules: (1) a team may only haveone frequency clip at a time and (2) ateam may not use the same color for twosuccessive flights. At the end of onehour, stop all scoring, set all planes onthe ground, and take a ten minute break(you are going to need it). Rotate teamassignments on the winches and go foranother hour. Take another ten minute

break and do it again for a total of 3 onehour sessions. One other rule which

forces a little more strategy is that eachpilot must fly a minimum of four flightsduring the three hours or take a 500point penalty. Also, flight points arelimited to 500 per flight. Scoring is set atone point/second for Duration and 25points for landing in a 25' diametercircle.

Each team has to retrieve its ownlaunch lines and maintain its assignedwinch equipment. If it breaks, get it tiedtogether; if it tangles, get it untangled. Ifyou pop off, start the clock and fly it asbest as you can. Hurry up — he'salmost down, who is going to be next?A brief example of what happens is as

follows. Team One is starting with OIW.Team Two with PIW, and Team Threewith BIIW. They launch and it's earlymorning with light lift. Team Two landsfirst, about two minutes later. A helpergrabs the transmitter, runs to frequencycontrol, turns in the transmitter and PIWclip, grabs the BRIW clip andtransmitter, runs to winch #2 helps histeam member hook up, and away hegoes. Hopefully, another team memberhas remembered to retrieve the winch

line. Team One lands at 2:15 and

wanted BRIW but it's gone so they grabPIW and fly. And so it goes for the nexthour. With short tow lines and two

minute lift, you have to scramble. Theneat thing about all this is you neverknow for sure when you are going to flyand you are always busy timing,retrieving a tow, running a transmitter,or relaxing by flying. It Is a good way toget the new pilot Involved In contestflying.As for our contest, using 3 one hour

periods for a total time of 1B0 minutes,the winning teams duration was 152minutes, 45 seconds, for 29 flights with20 landings. The Second Place teamhad 150 minutes, 44 seconds, for 33flights with 21 landings. The Third Placeteam had 137 minutes, 42 seconds, for32 flights with 19 landings.

The maximum duration scored by oneindividual was 44:51. Maximum number

of flights by one individual was nine.Most landings were seven. Seventeen

Dear Bill & Bob:

142 Tabard Drive

San Antonio, TexasJune 30, 1978

Do hope all is well for you both and "HOT STUFF". Here's some thoughts of mine that perhaps you'd like to know. As aprofessional scale model builder, I use many techniques and products to help me duplicate full size aircraft in model fomn.I've used your product "HOT STUFF" since it was introduced by R/C Modeler, and I must say it's strength and instantsetting time have become increasingly valuable in my work.

I've enclosed several photos you might like, such as the Douglas World Cruiser. Sikorsky S-42 Clipper, P-26 PeaShooter, Winnie Mae, Ford Tri-Motor and my latest project, the Curtiss Condor, which was the last of the luxury airliners tofeature sleeping accommodations. All models, of course, have full interior detail.The Curtiss Condor is now on display permanently at the Nut Tree Restaurant near Vacaville, Calif., so if you ever

happen to be on U.S. 80, between San Francisco and Sacramento, stop in at the Nut Tree airport. Don Birrell, the designdirector, commissioned me years ago to build scale aircraft for their extensive display, and I'm sure you would enjoybrowsing thru aircraft of years gone by. The dining is great, so the visit would appeal to your wives also.We had eighty-nine visitors to view the Condor at my shop in San Antonio prior to delivery. Most were model builders all

interested in model building of some sort. Many were already "HOT STUFF" users and the rest were azed to learnthat the entjre Condor was built with your wondedul product.The Curtiss R3c-2—will be next and the Nut Tree is interested in an 8 ft. DC-3, lots of "HOT STUFF" will go into that.

Sincerely yours.

maxes were scored. Shortest flight was27 seconds near the end of round two.

Average flight time was about 4minutes, 42 seconds. But thesestatistics are only indicative, the realchallenge is team performance.The advantage of this type of contest

is that it is easy to run, has a definiteending time, and is a lot of fun. Try it byvarying the number of winches, timeperiods, andlor minimum number offlights, but set it up to get everyone

involved and kept busy. Five or sixpeople on a team is about right. Try it outand see if it sparks some interest in yourclub's contest. Bring a movie cameraand record some of this madness foryour next meeting.

Frank, it sounds like you people had areal ball, the spectators can really let itout on this type of competition.

♦The contest season is coming to a

close, building picks up to a rapid pace,the holiday season is on us. Where doesthis circle stop? Never! Everybody havea joyous Christmas and may your newyear be the best ever.Good lift. □

NEW FREQUENCIES

The AMA has been working for sometime, preparing a petition which theyhope to submit to the FCC before theend of 1978. A position paper has beencirculated for comments throughout theR/C industry. Briefly summarized, theobjectives are as follows:(1) Use of FM on current and future

frequencies.(2) More 72 MHz R/C frequencies,(3) A new band of R/C frequencies,

30-42 MHz (with relatively simpleconversion of 27 MHz equipment),(4) Exclusive R/C frequencies or at

least sharing only with low power users,I understand Kraft Systems has been

delivering FM sets on six meters in theU.S. and on 35,40, and 27 to 30 MHz inEurope. I'm also told they are workingwith only 10 KHz separation. If ail the 27MHz CB rigs were operating legally, FMmight even make 27 MHz R/Cfrequencies usable again. Anyway,sounds like the AMA is doing everyone afavor. We'll keep you posted on futuredevelopments. □

ELECTRA-FLI

from page 61

We believe that electric models will

open many new flying sights to modelerswho otherwise would be grounded.This turned out to be one of the most

complete kits that we have built. The useof the motor batteries to serve for the

receiver battery pack is truly unique. Asthe batteries drain from motor use, theCVR unit cuts off the motor, saving-enough battery life to operate yourreceiver and get your plane safely to theground. This completely eliminates theuse of your airborne receiver battery. □

sandpaper.We covered our models with Kwik

Cote from Hobby Shack. Any of the lightweight, heat shrinkable plastic films willwork very well. The covering was usedto hinge the rudder and elevators. Ourtechnique is to lay the upper side of theelevators on top of the upper side of thestabilizer with the hinge edges lined upevenly. The film is draped over thesehinge edges and ironed to them, Thenthe elevators and stab are unfolded outflat and the film is adhered to all the outeredges. When the bottom covering hasbeen trimmed, the upper covering isapplied in the same manner. The samemethod is used to hinge the rudder to thefin.

The covering on the center portion ofthe stab must be adhered securely to thebalsa on both the upper and lowersurfaces. Carefully cut and remove thestab covering in the areas where thestab is epoxled to the fuselage andwhere the fin is epoxied to the stab. Thisis necessary as epoxy does not stickvery well to plastic film. The trim wasstriping tape and trim film.

Our models used the Cannon TinyTwin-Block radio which has to be theeasiest of any to install. For other typesof servos, install servo rails to suit. Keepthe servos toward the rear of the cabinas you will need space in the front for thereceiver.

Sullivan semi-flexible plasticpushrods were used for control hook-up.Holes must be drilled in bulkhead F3, inl ine with the servo arms, toaccommodate the pushrods. A dab ofepoxy will secure them in place.

The landing struts are merely insertedin their respective holes at each side andpushed into the slot across the bottom. Abit of epoxy will hold them.

After everything is assembled, thereare three important checks to be made.

First, take a good look at the engineposition to verify that you have the downand fight thrust adjustment. If not, shimwith washers to correct. Second, place astraight-edge along the fuselage sideand beneath the bottom surface of the

wing and stab; they should be flat on thestraight-edge. Third, and mostimportant, check the C.G. by placing aforefinger at the aft edge of the front sparon each side of the fuselage. Gently liftthe model and it should balance with the

nose slightly low. If any adjustments areneeded, try shifting the battery packand/or receiver to get the properbalance. Use additional weight only as alast resort.

We are confident that the RClVl 1/2A

Basic Trainer will provide you with manyhours of flying pleasure as it has for us.Enjoy! □

PITTS S2A

from page 42/40

Southern R.C. Products Flex-all. Normalsport fuel, up to 25% nitro, will not affectthis type of finish. Whatever method youuse, try to keep it light.Final Assembly:

Make up and install the tail wheel.Hinge and mount the control surfaces.Add the control horns. Using epoxy, gluein the cabane struts making sure theyare bottomed in slots. Glue the strutmounting plates over the struts inside ofthe fuselage sides.

Before mounting the fuel tank, removethat portion of the building crutchbetween the firewall and former #2. Thisallows you to mount the tank at theproper height. Install equipment, engine,etc.

Position the servos to balance themodel as shown on the plans.

To install the top wing, a certainprocedure must be followed: mount theinter-plane struts to the bottom of the topwing. Notches in struts fit around thedowel in the wing. They will fit only oneway. Holding one strut in each hand, andwith the leading edge of the wing facingyou, place the bottom end of the struts inthe slots of the bottom wing at a slightangle. Engage dowels with struts androtate the whole assembly forward untilthe holes in the tabs are aligned with theholes in the struts. I use 6-32 nylon boltsto mount the top wing.Flying;

Caution! The recommended controlsurface throws are as follows: Aileron3/16" each direction: Rudder 1/2" eachdirection; Elevator 1/2" each direction.Do not attempt to fly until these areadjusted. We know from experience.

Make sure that the C.G. is still correct.

If you have wheel pants, make sure thewheels cannot rub the pant when thewheel flattens, causing it to binid. I feelthat this is one of the greatest causes ofground loops. You might want to makethe first flight with the pants removed.One last check — everything tight,

engine running correctly, range checkokay? Increase power slowly. Add asmall amount of right rudder and releaseafter the tall lifts. Once the tail has lifted,the Pitts will track straight for as long asyou want her to. Break ground byfeeding in a little up. Once airborne, gainaltitude for trim changes — it's safer upthere.

Good flying and I hope you enjoy yourPitts S2A as much as we do. □

had to go back and correct mine. Wellnow, after 32 steps we now have twowings.

The tai l Is next and verystraightforward — just some sanding toshape and you are about set for finalassembly and finishing. Only 10 stepsthis time.

Now on to the wire works. This isusually a most difficult part of a biplane,but not in this case. It's easy — justfollow the instructions, measure andsolder carefully and you will be done in 9steps.

The wing and strut installationinstructions are complete and accurateand require 13 steps to complete. Nowyou have all of the constructioncompleted and it's time to start thefinishing process.

Jack suggests a finishing method thatworks good. 1 elected to do something alittle different, however. I covered mymodel with Coverite Permagloss. In thethree rolls that I used, I noticed someflaws in coloring and weave which arenot as obvious after it is ironed on. I didhave a time trying to match thePermagloss blue color with paint for thestruts, cowl, and wheel pants. I used R-SPerfect Paint which still was not a match.For trim I used Bridi Quick-Stripe TrimTape.

Well, it's time now to install yourequipment. I used Prather motor mountthat came drilled and tapped for myK & B .61 Pumper, fviy choice for radiogear is a Kraft 7 channel, which I am verypleased with — quality shows! Set it upfor the surface movements that arecalled out in the instructions. After youget everything all set make one morecheck of everything. I saved an airplanerecently by checking the receiver batterycondition with my D & D ElectronicsBattery Management System and foundthat my charger had gone over the hilland had failed to tell me. So be careful!

150

After everything is double checked it'stime to fly and fly it does. The K & B .61Pumper is most adequate power andvery easy to set up In the cowl. Thisengine Is very dependable at all speedsettings and really makes theAcro-Sport perform.The Acro-Sport is a super flyer! It will

do anything you ask including verypleasant slow speed landings. Any ofyou planning to fly the IMAC routine willbe very pleased with its performance.You should see John Lockwood do his

inverted flat spin trick it'sspectacular. I have flown 3 differentAcro-SportsMhat each have differentweights — all of them fly beautifully.

If you are looking for a biplane that cando it all — I think this is a good choice.The kit builds quickly and displays thesame good quality and personal touchthat Is evident In all of Jack Stafford

Model Kits. You enjoy the end results!For my next maneuver... □

HAWKER TYPHOON

from page 38

Hawker test pilots weresent to visit with these squadrons, In anattempt to reassure them that theTyphoon was not a rogue aircraft.Although it was a Hawker design, almostall of the 3,330 Typhoons built wereproduced by the Gloster Aircraft Co. Ltd.The Typhoon was to be replaced by theHawker Tempest in 1945 and virtuallyevery Typhoon was reduced to scrap.

While the full size Typhoon was a flopas an Interceptor; the Trueline Stand-OffScale model of this notorious aircraft isvery good. The kit features a foam wing,that is pre-sheeted with hardwoodveneer which goes together very rapidly.The wing trailing edge, ailerons, andtips, are all balsa. The tail surfaces are ofpre-cut balsa sheet. The fuselage Isconstructed by first gluing the bulkheadsto 1/4" X 1" balsa side strips, using theplan sheet fuselage top view as a guide.This produces the basic fuselagestructure. All of the round or ovalportions of the fuselage are foam, whichis pre-sheeted with the same hardwoodveneer that is used on the wing. Thismethod of construction greatly simplifiesand hastens the fuselage assembly. Ifyou have ever planked an oval, tapering,shaped fuselage you can wel lappreciate the work and time that issaved, via this construction technique.The remainder of the fuselage is ofconventional balsa sheet and blockconstruction. The cowl, fuselage lopaccess hatch cover, wing root fairings,and engine exaust stacks are moldedABS plastic. A formed clear butyratecanopy, filled fiberglass engine mount,and an aluminum spinner are alsoincluded in the kit. The kit quality is very

WHO NEEDS WHALES?

We ail do. From life in the oceanscomes what is most important to us onland—food and oxygen. The whalesplay a vital role in maintaining themarine ecosystem. Our future may welldepend upon their survival.What we don't need is whaling.

Man is slaughtering the last of the world'sgreat whales—destroying creaturesmany scientists believe have an intelligence equal, perhaps even superior,to our own. There is no reason on earthto kill whales.Greenpeace wants whaling to stop. For

the past 3 years our members haveplaced themselves between the whales andthe whalers' harpoon, non-violently

protesting whaling at sea and focusingworld attention on this critical problem.From the North Atlantic to the mid-

Pacific and off the shores of Australia wewill continue our struggle to save thewhales from extinction.

In order to continue we need yoursupport.

THE WHALES NEED YOU.

HAWKER TYPHOON

from page 151/38

good with one exception — the plansheet is below average, due to itsinformation deficiencies. For example,the landing gear is not shown in anyview. Plywood landing gear well coversare included in the kit and, since they arenot symmetrical in shape, there is noway for the builder to determine whichway they should be mounted to thelanding gear legs. An excellent source ofhighly detailed information and scalecolor data is the Profile Publications

Booklet #81, entitled "The HawkerTyphoon". We used this valuable aid inconstructing and finishing our testmodel. We installed the fixed landinggear which is Included in the kit,although the wing is sufficiently thick toallow the use of retracts, if retracts were

to be installed, the builder would be wiseto strengthen the wing with a plywoodspar and additional fiberglass cloth andresin, due to the large wheel wellcut-outs that would be required.Our Typhoon was powered with an

OS Schnuerte .40 R/C engine, whichwas mounted in an inverted position witha Semco helicopter type muffler. In aneffort to minimize the possibility of

engine failure on low throttle settings,due to its inverted mounting, we installeda "C" size 1.25 volt nicad battery on thefirewall, with a micro switch which wasactivated by the throttle control cable.This system works just fine and evenallows the engine to be started withoutan external battery. Since the Typhoonnose moment is relatively short, all radioequipment (except the aileron servo) isinstalled directly behind the firewall withthe fuel tank. This area is larger than itseems at first, and any relatively modernradio system will fit into it easily.Although there is cavernous spacewithin the fuselage, over the wing saddle

HAWKER TYPHOON

from page 155/38

area, placing the radio components inthis area will undoubtedly produce a tallheavy aircraft. We used WestportInternational's Variant radio system inour Typhoon, which was finished withK & B Super Poxy primer and R & 8camouflage enamels. The bottomsurfaces were sprayed blue-gray andthe top was finished with a dark greenand sand brown camouflage effect. TheRAF roundel decals, which are includedin the kit, were applied and the entireaircraft was given a final coat of R & Ssatin clear enamel.

Our finished Typhoon ready to flyweighed 91 ounces.

Before evaluating the Typhoon'sin-flight qualities, we would like to

strongly emphasize that most WorldWar II fighters do not make good R/Cbeginner type aircraft. The Typhoon isno exception, both from a building andflying viewpoint. The Typhoon requiresthe hands (or thumbs) of an R/C pilot,who is experienced in four controlfunction as well as low wing experience.We mention this not as a criticism of theTyphoon, but rather in the hope that anybeginner will resist that common urge tobuild, as his first aircraft, a plane thatlooks great, but is simply not suited forlearning to fly.

In rating the Typhoon's flyingcharacteristics we attempted to keep ourcomparison based on other scale typeaircraft. The reader should bear this inmind — that to make any comparisonwith sport or pattern type aircraft, forexample, would be grossly unfair. As ascale R/C aircraft, the Typhoon does,however, fly quite well. Take-off is

smooth with only a slight amount of rightrudder being required. Take-offs shouldbe made by first picking up sufficientground speed and then applying a smallamount of up elevator, to becomeairborne.

in-flight characteristics are good andthe Typhoon will perform all the usualaerobatic manuevers fairly well.Landings are not a problem providingthe pilot maintains a rather brisk landingapproach speed until the ship is on final,when it can be flared in the conventional

fashion.

To summarize: the True Line Hawker

Typhoon, in spite of its below averageplan sheet and written informationdeficiencies, is still a good kit. Rapidassembly and the fact that it is arefreshing alternative to the current flockof Mustangs, Corsairs, Focke-Wulf190's, etc, make the Hawker Typhoon amost appealing R/C scale project. □

Instead Of Giving Up Your DreamTo Fly Radio ControlPerhaps You ShouldGive Up The Expensive Radio!There are many people who would like to get into radio control, but onething more than any other stops them — Price! Also, as a modeler gains inexperience and has built many models to fly, he finds that being the ownerof several radio systems is desirable. The dream of getting into radio control, or of adding extra systems, may be forgotten by many who feel thatpurchasing an expensive national brand radio system doesn't make any sense.

Now, the Hobby Shack Aero Sport Systems offer thousands of people exactly what they are looking for. Aero Sport has all of the reliability, performance, electronic technology and all of the other advantages of the higher

y .|l|r priced systems, but at a realistic price! Instead of of-95 YAtUfc fering a radio systemand ha mg the manufacturer

Instead oftrying to make a large profi on a few hundred systems, we reduce the prices < id make a smaller profiton thousands of Aero Spor Systems. Aero Sport isthe kind of radio system wl ich is inexpensive, goodlooking, and will give you o itstanding performance— Aero Sport can make yoi r dreams come true!

RIDGE RAT

from page 35/32

the fuselage into the breeze.Stab and Fin:

(1)The stab and fin are assembledfrom 1/8" balsa and 1/8" square sprucestrips in the simplest fashion. Trim theedges of appropriate length sheets andglue them together. Use drafting ormasking tape to hold the pieces togetherand then put the pieces down on a pieceof Saran Wrap weighted with an oldbook on lop to make sure they dry flat.(2) When the pieces are dry, slip them

under the plan and use a pin to mark thecorners. Leave the elevator attached

until after sanding, and cut out to theoutline.

(3) You might do a bit of shaping if youlike that sort of thing, but be careful tokeep the underside of the stab flat whereit connects with the fuselage. In anycase, at least sand the stab and finsmooth, with a rounded leading edge.(4) Cut the elevator off, and bevel its

leading edge like you did the ailerons.(5) Attach the stab and fin to the

fuselage, with the appropriate 1/4"triangle stock.(6) The tali group may be primed and

painted or covered with light iron-onplastic.

Flying The Ridge RatThis discussion assumes that the

• reader has no experience with an aileronship, but is fairly capable with a rudderand elevator glider.

Setting Up The Airplane: First, putthe Center of Gravity in the place shownon the plans. This Is important, in fact it ismuch more important to have the C.G. inthe right place than to save a fewounces. For starters, set the ailerondeflection to 3/8" down and 1/2" up, andthe elevator throw 3/8" each way,The differential throw in the ailerons

can be achieved by using a servo outputarm with holes that are swept aft orperpendicular from the pivot point about30°. The idea of the differential Is to

cause the inside and outside wings tohave equal, or close to equal, drag whenstarting a turn. Since the droppingaileron causes more drag for the samedeflection, it is deflected less. The way totest for a proper relationship is to flydirectly away from yourself at eye level,into the wind, and bang the ailerons fullone way, and then the other. Note whenyou do this if the plane yaws one way orthe other from unequal drag. It is best tohave the plane remain pointed straightor yaw just a bit to the inside of thefollowing turn.

aileron differential, then when you roll upfor a turn, the nose will be dropped toomuch. When you get It right, the planewill roll up via ailerons and just wait therefor awhile until you pull on the elevator.

For the first flights, select a hill that Isnot disastrous to crash into, on a day thathas a moderate breeze, when otheraileron ships can stay up easily, butaren't going really fast.

If you can fly a rudder and elevatorglider, then you will have no trouble witha Ridge Rat. There are a few differencesbetween flying aileron ships and rudderand elevator gliders. However, whilemost rudder and elevator planes can beflown almost without the use of theelevator, you will find with the Ridge Ratthat you will use the elevator much more,On an aileron ship, the ailerons don'tmake the plane turn, rather, they controlthe roll of the plane. In order to make aturn, the plane is rolled up via aileron toan appropriate bank angle, and then theailerons are neutralized as you feed inup elevator to bring the plane around.Too much elevator, and the plane willfloat up: to little, and it will slide off theInside of the turn. To terminate the turn,neutralize the elevator as you feed inopposite aileron. When the plane Isstraight and level, all controls areneutralized, or perhaps a bit of down isheld in for a moment to counteract the

zooming tendency caused by a possiblespeed Increase In the turn.

Start out making big gentle turns,which require very little elevator, so as tostay out of trouble. As you gainconfidence and skill you will find that youcan roll the plane up to vertical and pullvery hard on the elevator to make asharp beautiful pylon turn. After a littlewhile you will find that your Ridge Ratcan be maneuvered at will, like a go-kartof the skies, and you may wonder howyou ever even flew that clumsy rudderand elevator airplane.

I like to adjust the aileron throw so thatI can use full aileron to roil up for a turnwithout having such a rapid roll rate thatit is difficult to end the rolling In a preciseposition. I have heard stories aboutaileron flyers rolling up for a turn the firsttime doing one or two complete roils, sostart out cautiously!

I like to adjust elevator throw so thatthe plane can be flown inverted with halfto three quarters down stick, I also like tohave the elevator response rapid but notjumpy. If you find that Inverted flightrequires so much elevator that responseIs jumpy, you might try moving the C,G.back a bit, but watch out because theplane will be less pitch stable, acondition some people favor anyway.As far as flying the Ridge Rat, there

really isn't much to It. It doesn't stallseverely, you don't have to worry aboutbreaking it in the air, and it is alwaysresponsive. One quirk of low-dihedralaileron ships you should be aware of: in

silhouette from near side view, it is verydifficult to tell which direction the plane isrolling. This is very disorienting andscary if you are close to the ground at thetime. Usually this happens when flying infront of a bright sky, when you take youreyes off the plane and then come back toit. There are two ways to alleviate thisproblem. One way is to always follow theairplane carefully so that you can tellwhat it is doing from what it was doingbefore. The other way is to make the topand bottom of the wings different colors

and lightnesses. I recommend a darkcolor for the bottom, since it is usuallydark anyway. □

Headquarters by now have available anexhaust manifold and Quarter Scale

instrument panels.Their mounts are cast aluminum alloy,

heat treated and machined for true

alignment. The mounts are drilled andtapped for the engine specified and aresupplied with all engine and firewallmounting hardware.They intend to provide a much wider

line of accessories and items for the

Super Sealer.•

House of Balsa has come up with areally neat idea. How many times haveyou glued a wing up on the buildingboard, checking that the ribs werevertical to the board and then come back

and found you had goofed, and a coupleof them were not as close to vertical as

you might wish? Well the guys at Houseof Balsa have a little plastic gizmo theycall "Up-Right" and it will do the trick foryou. It is slotted for 1 /16"-3/32" and 1 /8'"material and will assure your wing ribsare all at right angles to the board whenyou put them In place. Retail is 98 centsin the U.S. Watch for it at your localhobby shop. You'll think as I did, "Nowwhy didn't I think of that?" Simple andgood, the only way to fly!

members participating In that activity.Perhaps one of the greatest

advantages in having a not for profitcorporation is in your "holding out" to therest of the community. When you knockon the door to order printing, negotiatefor the flying site, or any other activity,you have an individual who is doing soon behalf of an existing, recognizedlegal entity, not just "a group of fellows."

Another advantage Is that you have abody of law that serves as your guide inthe formation, operation and eventermination of the group. Keep in mindthat the corporation can buy, hold andsell property In its name: that it can enterinto contracts, sue and be sued in itsname.

Because every state recognizes theneed for such corporations, andbecause states recognize that thesecorporations are operating for purposesother than profit, the costs involved interms of establishing a corporation,

RC FLYING AND THE LAW

from page 166/19

franchise taxes, and other fees, aregenerally kept to minimal amounts inorder to favor such organizations.On the other hand, you do have to

keep in mind that there is the formality ofcorporate existence: you can't just dothings because a few people feel like it orit suits their needs of the moment.

Everyone has to function in line with theadopted bylaws and the authority vestedin the board of directors and the officers

of the corporation. You have to follow the

procedures set out in the bylaws of thecorporation, have minutes of meetings,take formal votes and generally operateas a democratic organization. You alsohave to file an annual report with thestate and have a designated registeredagent, which I recommend should beyour attorney. There are also costsinvolved in establishing the corporationand there may be fees for the attorney interms of organizing and helping youmaintain the corporate existence.

In general, the leaders of the group orclub that want to consider incorporatingwill sit down with an attorney who willexplain that state's rules concerning notfor profit corporations. You will then

need a set of incorporators (in Illinois 3are required), and you will be asked todesignate initial directors of thecorporation who, in turn, at the firstmeeting of the corporation (once thestate has granted it a charter or issuedits Articles of incorporation) will electofficers. Unlike business corporations,there are no shareholders; insteadthere are members and the corporationissues membership certificates. Usuallyyour incorporators, who will most likelyalso be directors, will elect officers (adirector can also be an officer) and thequalifications for membership will beestablished. The corporation may ormay not issue membership certificates.

One thing the club may want to consideris this matter of whether to issue a formal

membership certificate: it looks like acertificate of slock in a business

corporation and can be a very nice gift toan incoming member.The attorney will also guide you

through establishing your not for profitcorporation bylaws which lay out suchthings as the election of directors by themembers, the election of officers by thedirectors, the duties of officers, thereplacement of officers and thequalifications for membership in theclub. Decisions will have to made as to

how often the board will meet, how oftenthe membership meets, when elections

take place, and the like. There can alsobe different kinds of membershipincluding voting and non-voting.

Under current postal regulations, anot for profit corporation which puts outan official publication may qualify forlower postage rates. There are all kindsof areas and functions about which yourattorney can give you advice andguidance.Once again, the R/C club organized

as a not for profit corporation shouldmake certain that each of its members

has the AMA insurance (obtained byAMA membership) and that the clubfollows through with the necessaryforms to obtain an AMA charter and.

thereby, the club will be covered by theone million dollar AMA policy; of course,the same admonition is applicable tonon-Incorporated groups.A sense of organization is a sense of

solidity and soundness. The corporateroute is a sound one for any groupseriously engaged in R/C modeling. Ifyou haven't as yet, you and your friendsought to look into this matter.

For illustrative purposes, R/C Modelerhas reproduced a sample of theapplication for corporate existence tothe state of Illinois for a fictiousness R/C

club. Your friendly attorney at law willhelp you with your state's forms andrequirements. □

events? All fun. First, put twenty beansin a cup on top of your model, and flyonce around the field. ICQ points if youdidn't lose any, five points off for eachone lost. Talk about your gentletake-offs, banks and turns! But thebeans kept coming out anyway.Second, the egg drop. Egg in the cup,

with a streamer. The streamer, unless'carefully folded, would get caught in the

airstream and pull the egg out. Nomatter; so long as the plane wasairborne, the drop counted. Nocomplicated rules. Just fun.

Third, remove your watch and, with nohelp, take your plane off and keep itairborne for exactly 100 seconds. Try it,it's fun.

Last event — take-off and climb under

power for 35 seconds, then shut off theengine and glide as long as you can. Tobe sure the engine is dead, push fullthrottle after ten seconds in the glide, ifthe engine picks up -- - you'redisqualified. In this event, Gary Korpi,flying an old Taurus with a .60 and tunedpipe, went straight up almost out of sight,

floated around in "green air" (as thermalpilots call it) and landed 5V2 minuteslater. Great fun.

In this great sport of R/C flying, thereare perhaps 500 "serious" contest fliers.And, in contrast, there are probably aquarter of a million sport fliers — or, as ilong ago dubbed them, "Sunday fliers."Louis Lopez expressed their feelings —your feelings, if you prefer. Theexhilaration, the satisfaction, the sheerfun of flying.

Don't ever lose it. And write me about

your latest adventure, so we can share itwith ail the other thousands of Sundayfliers in the world.

SUNDAY FLIER

from page 172/15

It's a great fraternity — ask my friendElmer Haynes. Or maybe "fraternity"isn't the best word; comradeship mightbe better. Ask Dedra Jo and Karen,they're enthusiastic members of thegroup also.

I'm glad — and proud — to belong tothe Sunday fliers" internationalcomradeship.So tell me what's going on at your

field. I'll pass it on. □

ENGINE CLINIC

from page 12/10

brass shim stock between the back ofthe flywheel and what would normally be

the prop drive washer to eliminate anywobble. You want the flywheel to runtrue within one or two thousandths in allplanes. If not, you are going to have badvibration as you are experiencing.

Dear Mr. Lee,Just recently, I purchased an OS Max

.45 Marine engine for a Deep V boat thatI am building. Being new, however, toR/C boating, I have the followingquestions:

(1) Why are water cooled throttlesused?

(2) Should I use one in conjunctionwith my jacketed head?

(3) Should the water flow first to thehead and then to throttle or vice versa?

(4) Is it a good idea to restrict thewater discharge to keep the engine at amore constant temperature?

(5) What percent nitro can I safely usewith my .45 RSR engine?

I hope you can clear up some of thesequestions. Thank you.

Sincerely yours,Michael 0. Szemety

Elyria, OhioTaking your questions in order, Mike:(1) You did not say whether you are

talking about a carburetor or exhaustthrottle. If an exhaust throttle, then watercooling is just another means of coolingthe engine and taking away heat. Theexhaust area being the hottest part of anengine. If you are referring to acarburetor throttle — getting a coolermixture into an engine means a densercharge and more power.

(2) As far as using one it is not going tohurt anything and can only help.

(3) If an exhaust throttle, the waterflow should be to the head first. If acarburetor throttle, then to thecarburetor first.

WHY CHOOSETHE VARIANT?

Well, for a start, the unique, patentedR.F. transmission system is totally unlikeany other used for R.C.

Then, the VARIANT'S performance on 72 MHz is outstanding because of its' ability to reject interference — lots of which comes from non-metallic components of our helicopters. We'll bet that thereare a lot of choppers hanging in shops that refused to fly because of radio problems. No need tobond parts as has been customarily thought.

The same may be said about servos. Servos, quick and powerful enough to produce the "right now"forces needed for helicopter control.

Yes, our encoder is different. Though we try hard somebody is always ready to show we didn't thinkof everything. But the Custom Variant can mix electronically several channels — at adjustablerates — can selectively vary the stick rate to conveniently preset values — can reverse the servoswith the flick of a switch.

We feel that the serious flyer should own a multifrequency, reliable, interference free, versatiletransmitter with the mode of his choice and airborne packs in all his craft capable of being controlled-with the Custom Variant. Yes, a pattern ship, pylon, sport, flying scale model or helicopter ofpractically any size would be entirely practical.

For you pattern flyers we will have a metal stick assembly that will be a worthy addition to theCustom Variant.

We're working to be the Hasselblad, Leica and Nikon of the R.C. field.

Dear Sir,I have a question that concerns

mounting of tuned pipes to the aircraft.Specifically the aft or exhaust end of thepipe. I do not know if I should make themounting point a rigid, no-give type

mount or if it should be a sort of shock

mount — that is. to say, isolatedthrough a vibration absorbing plate ordevice of some kind. The anchor pointfor the pipe mount will be in the foamwing. In short, what is the most reliablemethod of mounting to keep the pipefrom vibrating loose while the plane is inthe air. This is my first pipe mountingand I would like to get off on the rightfoot in this area for a change.

I would also like to make a suggestionabout an article on tuned pipes. Sincepipes add so much to the performanceof an engine, why not an article that tellsthe do's and dont's of pipes? It wouldalso be quite helpful to us novices to

have something like a table that tells uswhich manufacturers make pipes andfor which engines.

Also, if there are adaptors on themarket to adapt a pipe to ones presentengines. Whether pipes are availablefor smaller size engines and if they will,in fact, work as well on the smallerdisplacement engines.

I subscribe to your fine magazine andreally enjoy each issue. If theinformation I have asked for is hidden inany of the back issues, please indicatewhich back issues the info is in and

press ahead with the good work. If not,please advise as it is nearly that point in

Introducing The CALIFORSTIAlirOur new Californian Kil is the hybrid offspring of two

jpf Astro-Flight's most successful kits. Like most trueybrids, it gains advantages beyond those of both predeces-ors. One of these, the ASW-15, is a rugged — beyondlief, high-penetration model ideally adapted to the hardy

lope conditions found along the Pacific Coast. In spite ofjts success, many of our customers expressed a desire for arsion of the plane with greater wing area to improve its

hermalling performance.

At that time we were finalizing the design of our Superonterey Kit. it was felt that the new wing and tail

Eonstructions used would be the ideal complement of theSW-15 that we sought.As the two designs were mated, further Improvements

ere incorporated. We're more than pleased with the result

•;'ând think that you will be, too. Thanks for suggesting whatj; .ê think is one of our best-ever aircraft designs.

construction where I should install thepipe mount. Thapks.

Sincerely,Doublas E. Powell

Boiling AFB, Wash. D.C.Pipe mounting isn't really all that

critical. Most fellows just use some sortof a metal strap around the tail pipe.However, this does sometimes result inthe tail pipe breaking off. A strap aroundthe main pipe body would be moredesirable. If you wanted to go to the

trouble of making some sort ofanti-vibration mounting, it isn't going tohurt anything but really isn't thatnecessary.

Regarding articles on tuned pipes — Ihave done several over the years. Thefirst appeared some years back as areview of the then new E. D. Power Pipe.This was the first tuned pipe offered forpattern use and was a little ahead of itstime, Modelers weren't ready to acceptpipes yet (other than U-control speedfliers). This article is reprinted in theAnthology series booklet "The R/CEngine" Vol. I (page 38). There havebeen several subsequent articlesanother of which is in the "The R/C

Engine" Vol. II. I have more recentlywritten another article on tuned pipes Inthe January 1978 "Engine Clinic."There are any number of pipe

manufacturers. Both Rossi and OPS

have a line of pipes that, althoughintended for the Rossi and OPS

engines, can be used as well on othermakes. The OPS .60SS pipe is anextremely popular pipe among the toppattern fliers. Rudy Thomas, ofInternational Products, offers acomplete line of tuned pipes andadapters. Although Rudy's line wasinitially Intended for the boaters, hispipes and adapters can be used for

Our final letter this month is the kind i

like to receive since it requires no brainwork on my part, if any of you other guyshave an idea or have come across

something that you think might be ofinterest to the other readers, don't beshy about sending it in.

Dear Clarence Lee;I have had the same problems as

several of your readers. How do youplug the holes In the exhaust stack ofK & B and Fox engines when you installa muffler? A simpler solution thansearching all over town for aluminumplugs which never seem to fit Is to useclear slllcone rubber cement. First

clean the exhaust stack inside and outwith alcohol and a toothbrush (an oldone I hope). Lay a thin layer of thecement inside the stack so that itbridges the hole. After it starts to skin(about 10-15 minutes), fill the hole fromthe outside. That is all there Is to it. Thecement will act as a flexible rivet. After

several years of weekly operation, theslllcone has never burned nor blown

out.

Keep up the good work.Best regards,

David E. Pastor

take-off. We all know (I hope) that theaircraft should be headed directly intothe wind at take-off. Many heavy patternbombs with trike gear can make a goodcrosswind take-off, but lighter trainers,and two wheel geared aircraft need to beheaded into the wind to minimizetake-off problems. Lots of tail draggersare going to take-off right into the windanyhow — they know what they aredoing, even if old fumble thumbs on thesticks doesn't, i have watched many

182

pilots screw up a take-off of a tall draggerby fighting the aircraft's natural tendencyto turn into the wind. 'Nuff of the wind.

Next in line for a problem is pluckingthe aircraft off of the ground before it hasreached flying speed. The result is afterplucking It off of the ground, pointing thenose straight up to the sky... you watchyour pride and joy toss in the towel anddie. Sure, some aircraft can get off of theground quicker than others, and somepilots can aim the nose of the bird up intothe wild blue and get away with It, butthose pilots have a "feel" for theiraircraft. The best take-off Is one In which

the aircraft moves down the runway,picking up speed to flying speed, then Isgently lifted off to climb into the sky. Youcan feel when the aircraft is ready, justlike in a light plane. I know that a 727airliner blasts into the sky with a climbangle that makes a homesick angel looklike a piker, but you're not flying in a 727,you don't have to climb out over cityskyscrapers, or get along to the nextairport In time. You're trying to learn howto fly your bird the best way that you can.Grass fields are harder to take-off from

than are paved fields because the dragof the grass keeps the aircraft belowflying speed longer, it's really surprisinghow many of today's kit and magazineaircraft plans are designed by peoplewho do all of their flying from pavedfields. Quite often smaller wheels are

used, the aircraft has a high wingloading, thus needing a longer take-offrun, etc. If you're flying from grass, andthe grass is not closely mowed, then bea bit careful in your selection of aircraft tobuild.

Once your aircraft is In the air, andflying, you need to give some thought tothe idea of defensive flying. It's much likedefensive driving — you need to givesome thought to what to do in anemergency. In training pilots to fly fullsize aircraft, a lot of time is spent thinkingabout what to do in an emergency. Whiledriving, If you don't know what to do, orwhen to do It, well — It's your neck.Flying R/C is similar. There is more toflying than just getting up and down andjack batting around the sky in the middle.You need to know what to do when

things go wrong. For example, aftertake-off, and while your bird is climbingaway from you, the engine quits. Youcan make a turn and try to get back to thefield ... but chances are about 100 to 1

that your airplane won't make it; it willstall out and crash. The best thing to dois to give It a bit of down elevator to buildup speed from the climb and then let itglide to a landing straight ahead. Sure,you may have to walk over to pick it up,but probably a broken prop is ail that youwill have In the way of damage. Anyonewho knows anything about flying willapplaude your decision; only the dummywill criticize you for having to walk back.Of course. If your aircraft Is pretty highwhen the engine quits, say 100' or so,

you can make the turn and come in for alanding but, generally, the engine quitsat about 15' to 20' above the ground.Kind of an unwritten law in engine land Ithink.

Try another problem. You're flyingalong, dumb and happy, enjoyingyourself, when suddenly your aircraftdevelops a mind of its own and fliesbetween you and the sun. Naturally youdidn't put her there, she just did it byherself! But, you're blinded, you can'tsee the ship at all. First, if you don't flythe airplane in that spot you won't getyourself in this trouble. But, if you do,and you can see that your aircraft isapproaching the sun, use yourtransmitter as a sun shade by extendingit at arms length and use It to block outthe sun on your face. The aircraft willpace across the face of the sun, and youwill see it coming out the other side. But,if you're too late, and you're blinded,shut your eyes, and chop throttle. Don'tmake any other correction. Stick yourtransmitter up for a sun shade and openyour eyes, they should have time toadjust in just a second or two. (Editor'sNote: From the McDonald Douglas RCClub newsletter - "Extensive tests

performed by members of our clubIndicate that when you fly your planeInto the sun, you are blinded for only fiveseconds. However, it has also beenfound the airplanes crash within threeseconds.") Look below where you wereflying for your aircraft, determine whatposition It is in, right it if it is diving orbanked away from you, and graduallyfeed power back to il. Chopping throttleis the best plane saving device there is. Ifyou get disoriented in the sky, or are Intoo much of a power dive, or anythingout of the usual, then by chopping thethrottle you will gain precious time tomake a decision on what to do, or toshout for help. If you think that you areexperiencing a radio problem,interference, or failure, then chopthrottle. If you've cut back the powerand, if .the aircraft crashes, it will not beheading all-out for the ground. Get thisIdea firmly in the back of your mind —chop the throttle when in danger. Thissame safety idea is also the best onewhen you have started to make atake-off that goes screwey. Chop thethrottle if your aircraft goes nuts andstarts its take-off run into the pit area;chop the throttle and, in the case of a taildragger, give it full down elevator. Thiswill dump the aircraft over on its nose,but it will stop It. Up elevator just mighttake you into the pits, or into a car or aperson. Full throttle will always get youinto trouble if the take-off has turnedbad. It is much better to dork an airplanethan it is to unleash a runaway, propswinging monster into the pits or thespectators — engines make nastycontact with people. It's yourresponsibility to abort your flight ratherthan to crash into people.

at defensive flying. Remember, keepbuilding during the winter, someday It'sgoing to be flying time again. □

After that time, the individual copyprice will be $2.25 and an annualsubscription will be $24.00. We're sorrythat this increase in price is necessary,but it is something over which we haveabsolutely no control. There are only twosources of income for a magazine —advertising and sales of the magazine.We have raised both proportionatelyand, hopefully, this will meet theinflationary production costs that wehave been experiencing in the past fewyears and which we have attempted toabsorb, ourselves, for as long aspossible. ^

On the subject of money, here's apiece that appeared in the newsletter ofthe Torrey Pines Gulls:

"The $25.00 I paid to enter the 1978LSF shindig started me thinking aboutthe amount of money I spend on soaringcontests in one year, and these costsare going up. In 1978 I will attend about25 contests. I will pay $142.00 in entryfees. I will drive 7,250 miles at 17^ permile. I will stay fifteen nights in motelsand spend about $200.00 for food. Thiscomes to a grand total of $1794.00.During these contests I will fly 103flights. Each flight will cost me $17.42. Atan average of five minutes per flight thiscomes to $3.48 per minute.

When you come to think of it — this isa hell of a lot cheaper than sitting in adoctor's office!"

Within the next issue or two R/CModeler Magazine is going to present its1979 Design Contest which has been sopopular in years past. We hope you willstart thinking now about a design toenter in the contest where you will get ashot at some top RG prizes as well as geta chance to see your design published InROM as well as getting paid for it!Another contest, dreamed up by theROM staff is the Ubiquitous Pop TopPull-Ring Contest. If you're wonderingwhat that is, the demented mind of ourstaff has decided on a one time onlycontest for the person who can submitthe most number of modeling uses forthe Pull-Ring Pop Top that adorns thetop of our favorite beverage cans.

HOW IT FEELSTO HAVE A

HEART ATTACKThe way a hean attack feels can vary. So

how can you be sure that what you're feelingis realty a heart attack?By remembering this.If you fee! an uncomfortable pressure, full

ness, squeezing or pain in the center of yourchest (that may spread to the shoulders, neckor arms) and if it lasts for two minutes or more,

you could be having a heart attack. Severepain, dizziness, fainting, sweating, nausea orshortness of breath may also occur. Sharp,stabbing twinges of pain are usually not signalsof a heart attack.

Your survival may depend on getting medicalattention as quickly as you can. Call the emergency medical service immediately. If you canget to a hospital faster in any other way, doso.

Don't refuse to accept the possibility that youare having a heart attack. Many heart attackvictims do just that. They say it's indigestionor tension. They worry about embarrassment.They often wait three hours or longer beforegetting help.

But before those three hours are up, oneout of two is dead.

Remember what you've just read. The timemight come when your life will depend on it.

This 1/10th scale MRC-Tamiya R/C edition is every bit as exciting, every inch a precision electricrace car with uncommon speed andcontrol.

FOUR FRONT WHEELS

INCREASE CONTROLThis six-wheeled, multi-axle arrangement, affords the R/C drivernot only speed in the straightaways,

but increased agility and control intight turns and corners. Alt four frontwheels are engineered to respond tothe Tyrrell's proportional steering.This MRC-Tamiya race car hasoperating rear end differential gear,which combines with a coil springfront suspension to take tight turnsand corners with ease. And it's two

forward and two reverse speedshelp keep pace with the best of themon any course.
