Re: .010 size airplanes ?

Hey, Nut, thanks for the closeups and explanations. Maybe balsa is the way to go. I previously was thinking of some sort of carbon cloth with epoxy, and my cue stick. Or even better, my wife's old beat up cue stick Lol. I think Bob Zambelli made his Stunt Rocket out of fiberglass, so if I ever do something with materials like that I can tap his brain. I really do love the sleek birdlike look. That's what first drew me to the Baby Flite Streak early in my stunt career, and I enhanced it with the 35 sized Osprey. Not sure if you ever saw it. Crude compared to the Li'l Speedy though.

Here's Bob's old fiberglass tube Stunt Rocket. He still brings it out to fly. You can tell it's old by the color of his hair in this pic.

Rusty

P.S. I wasn't giving you near enough credit for that scratch design and build. Very impressive. I bookmarked the thread at RCG for future reference. I'll try to do it justice. I'm famous for talking more than doing, but I do have a list, 3 deep right now, and want to do them all. Stuntmen 23s, Mock Hyper Viper, and now a .010 micro Skorch/Li'l Speedy

I like the Knight Twister. Comes with a pack of Pall Mall King non filters. lol!

larrys4227 Thu Jul 30, 2015 9:22 pm

Wow ... I completely missed that Rusty. I think the Cyclotron had my attention. It looks similar to a Perky.

Eric,

I was planning on making the Dancer for the Travelling Engine! I have the Jan '66 issue of MAN and saw it last year while thumbing through the issue.

No worries though, I can build something else. Very Happy

Thank you Larry,
They are Profi 1/2A pipes you can still buy them here is a close up mounted to a Fuji .050 race car engine.
Static test 27,616 rpm with a APC 4.2 x 4 will do about 30k unloaded 115+ mph 1/2A RC. Eyebrows

I want one for my TD .020 so bought some carbon sock to make my own micro pipe.
Here is a close up of the Profi.

larrys4227 Fri Jul 31, 2015 5:13 am

Nice!! Impressive setup .... and its all shiney too .... Cool

I got alot of experience with tuned pipes during my Nitro boat racing days in the 1980's. Getting "up on the pipe" was a thrill .... when you got it .... you had your hands full with a water rocket. cheers

1/2A Nut Fri Jul 31, 2015 6:19 am

I did nitro boats back in the mid 80's to mid 90's we use to polish everything for a chrome look. These lil pipes come unfinished my old boating days had me going to the buffing wheel with a stick of rouge. The upswing of polished metal less chance of hot oil stains. I did TD and Queen Bee powered scale hydro's, riggers and mono's a few tunnels power up to 40 size engines. I have a OS 26 Surpass good for up to 19k and want to do a 26in cracker box with it one day as time allows.

the dancer was my first suggestion... wanted to come up with something different, simple to build but better than a micro Beginner RM for the traveling engine that could bee used with a pee wee engine as well. looking for a design to offer as a kit.

i am still looking and may just resize some other design.

That's correct Roger had mention it as I was asking if he was going to make anything for the TE, And from there this thread appeared , Ron as far as I am concerned go ahead and build it and I will find something else now that a lot of options are coming up , I am still up in the air about what to build Small Cox Logo

Rusty a pool cue stick is a great idea good diameter ranges for .010 thru .049's
Ply is the way to go so much more stronger and will eliminate repairs like you would get
with balsa. I make mention in the thread what size thickness I used for the .010/.020.
If a CL plane with a .010 the only way to go is light light and lighter dragging lines takes all the peep out of the wee engine so it needs a simple low drag design.

I plan to go to the local sports store on my next build to surf the isles for a pee wee baseball bat for a TD .15 project with an open cockpit to park a pilot figure.

You can't post pdf's
I would like to see it if you don't mind emailing it to me and I can convert it to jpeg and provide a download link for the pdf

Great, thank you for finding it there. I found it on another site, but did not know how to link it to there, or if I was allowed to link to another site. Anyways, thanks again.
