If you plug the bottom vent, you'll have to use a syringe and needle small enough to let the air out around it when you fuel it. That vent tube extends all the way to the top of the tank, so it can't leak much. It's not usually a problem for me

Thanks guys
Rusty I think it is leaking at the joint between the pipe and tank ? A tiny bit of JBweld maybe is not a bad idea . Golden Bee will get a refurb Very Happy

When you say external tank ? Do you mean on the back of the motor or a completely separate tank ? ( as in if I beam mounted the TD ? )
When I mentioned an external tank I was thinking of a 3/4oz wedge tank. It didn't occur to me you were talking about the addon radial mount tank. I'd forgotten about those. To me, that big long assembly is begging to be snapped off on your first nose first encounter with the ground.

On the stuntman, one of these is my opinion of the strongest mounts for a Tee Dee/Medallion/Norvel/etc.:

Or my favorite, this replaces the backplate:

Just unscrew the engine to swap or service. Here it is on my plane:

The mount that screws into the back of the motor is a clever plan . Any idea what pitch and size the thread is ?

No I don't, but I bet one of these glowheads hanging around here will know. I wonder if the head will screw into it. FWIW, I know you can screw one into the cylinder base threads.

I have never used landing gear !!! It's heavy , lot's of drag and when I land on grass it just noses over ??? I'll live with a busted prop every now and then . Very Happy

Looking at this plane reminds me of my first cl plane from way back when. It was very similar to the baby ringmaster but had the leading edge of the wing swept back like your stuntman. I can't recall what it was called or who made the kit, but I am pretty sure it was called either a Stuntman or Stuntmaster. Does anyone recall a stuntman kit with a built up airfoil wing?

duck.co.za Fri Oct 24, 2014 12:50 am

I think Scientific did a Stuntman with a built up wing and 'log" fuselage ?

Scientific sold Walt Musciano designs and there was a Stunt Master with a hollow log fuselage. But it was more like an 18" wingspan with a 1/4" thick shaped balsa airfoil. Double check on Blackhawk Models under Musciano and see if there's something else closer, but I don't think so.

The plane is coming along nicely Dave.

Cant wait to see it after paint.

I think that's my newest flying buddy Bob Zambelli in the red hat beside that table. He and Walt were good friends abd I think he;s built just about every one. He flew the Red Hot Angle at the contest last weekend.

Looks similar but mine was a profile plane and I think it was a newer kit. I suspect it was a version of the BRM I had. The kit would have been bought around 1965-67 or thereabout.

Found my plans of the Stunt Master from 30 plus years ago Affraid or WOW!

Hi Dave

No I have not. I have my hands full getting my .15 size trainer flying some more. I want to get further with the pattern. But the winds here in Gauteng has been terrible.
