Engines repaired
Received today my reset tool and both pistons are now true. New gaskets also. Baby bee had a back and fwd crank play so I put a thrust washer between engine case and prop washer. The other engine I am not sure about the type has one only port in the cylinder and looks that it can run smoothly at low rpm. Since I found qtee quiet fast with the black widow I change it with this one to see what will happen

Re: Engines repaired
They look great! Nice and shiny! Better than new. One of these days I’m gonna start polishing mine up to look like that.

Looks nice and shiny. I did one myself, and although it is a fair amount of work, the pay-off is very rewarding!

Re: Engines repaired
Very nice plane. I have heard of and read lots of the Q-Tee plane, and have wanted to build one for a while but never have gotten around to it. It is on my bucket list, but I will admit the following..... I HATE cutting out wing ribs! Somehow they never come out nice, and I end up scrapping them. I am very jealous of those who can cut out nice wing ribs.

Run bolts through the holes and sand all the ribs in a stack. They come out uniform to each other. That’s for a straight wing, for tapered you have to work in doubles.

Re: Engines repaired
If you make a template from hard wood or plastic (I made one out of bakelite) then it's easy to use it as a guide and cut as meny as you like. You can find this model in a short kit form with all the parts laser cut. It's a nice flyer and you can tell that when the engine stops.
