Control Line: Speed

CONTROL LINE SPEED Its too cold time year kind Speed flying year 1997 gone should getting ready 1998 building new airplanes reworking new engines Meanwhile Im going Bob Whitneys contest Florida should warm hope bring back some nice photos Sidewinders need new Class D airplane Class B what should build Should conventional upright-style models boomerang-shaped sidewinder aircraft Bob Ytuarte has doing 195 mph OS 65powered conventional model others such FABS team Phil McGee Charlie Legg FAI Federation Aeronautique Internationale fliers using sidewinders dont like looks flying characteristics sidewinders probably because Ive built couple neither flew very well dont think built correctly floundered through air like wounded ducks didnt last long Hopefully can now build correctly John Newton vastly experienced Speed flier California many-time member US Speed team can supply 65- 29-size sidewinder-type fiberglass fuselages other parts think will build couple sidewinders Class D aircraft same Phil McGees Nationals Nats-winning model fuselages molded fiberglass epoxy light stiff strong match magnesium DARP pans developed Nick Arpino just have cut off rear part pan proper length John also makes stabilizers carbon-fiber cloth reinforcement long bonded ready-to-go aluminum wing skins want information call John Newton 626 964-5363 build sidewinder some metalwork necessary wing mount monoline mount milling machine nice really necessary can adequate job hacksaw file belt sander have make aluminum adapter matches airfoil shape wing bolts pan usually has stub spar another full-length tapered spar bolted fiberglass fishing pole makes excellent spar just find has correct taper match wing thickness usually try 3/s-inch airfoil thickness inner fuselage end 1/ wingtip monoline unit connection should inside pan mounting bolts come loose unit cannot let go tricky part sidewinder airplane construction should have paid attention other modelers solve problem connecting elevator pushrod control horn yet allowing two halves taken apart has removable yet strong reliable either have make own monoline unit buy special think Ned Morriss reverse jet units will workthe control horn opposite end monoline button have make metal block bolts inside pan monoline unit can clamped connect pushrod inside airplane easy use pen-bladder fuel tank metal tank would have removable make pushrod connection think Ill make bolted pinned connection pushrod point metal pan fiberglass fuselage meet Ill make connection just before bolting body engine pan Another way would use torque wire

flying wire take airplane apart would unbolt block let slide out back after removing wing wing mounting adapter isnt difficult make own monoline unit need three loops 018 music wire torque unit must soldered securely whatever mounting block use get mounting parts finished Ill photograph future column Sport Jet Jerry Thomas told Mike Hazel others Northwest getting interested Sport Jet changed Texas rules slightly now allow Dynajet engines stock except having cooling fins cut off used jet engines out fins cut off ease mounting reduce weight also fly two 70-foot wires instead 60-foot wires sounds bunch guys going fly should fun use same methanol-propylene oxide fuel AMA Jets use runs quite well stock Dynajet engines Ceramics always claims rumors about ceramic pistons being used small engines havent seen have seen few modelers using ceramic ball bearings Speed engines so-called hybrid bearings have conventional steel races silicon nitride balls silicon nitride ceramic hard possesses exceptional compressive strengthqualities make excellent material balls 40% dense steel lighter weight reduces centrifugal loading skidding allowing much higher operating speeds silicon nitride about twice hard steel hybrid ball bearings have 3-5 times useful life all-steel bearings coefficient friction about 20% steel However bearings expensive ball costs almost much complete steel bearing power speed never cheap Ceramic Engines About year ago Lloyd Burkett East Elmhurst NY ORDER HOURS Superior Balsa & Hobby Supply 700 AM 700 ttpllpw2netcomcomk-balsalsupenorhtm balsa@ixnetcomcom
