Al Rabe rudder

Well my Sig stunter (can't remember which model but its in the same range of the Super Chipmunk) was never a great flyer in outsides. So I was reading up about the Rabe rubber which I have on a stunter I purchased and decided to try it. So it works as designed i.e. right rudder on down and slightly less on up. Still have to try it. I have also put a OS46LA up from as well. Hopefully that will help line tension.

Google Searches - we know better than you.

I have just picked up a half built control line stunter and thought I would see what Google had to say about it, so I typed in ‘Playboy stunter’ as my search term (that’s what its called). I suppose I was asking for trouble with the term ‘Playboy’. Anyway Google in its infinite wisdom decided I really wanted to search for ‘Playboy stunner’ and gave me the results for that. Wrong. Just because 1 million punters searched for Playboy stunner doesn’t mean I want to ;o)

OS40LA Stunt

Welcome to June 2010 ;o)

I bought a OS 40LA to put it in a stunter which had a OS 40FP. Actually the first engine I bought off Trademe was a worn out "special". The liner had lost most of its nickel coating!! So thats in the spare parts bin unless the seller feels he misrepresented the engine and refunds me the money. Anyway, I got another LA off a fellow club member. I reassembled the engine and put the stunt venturi from the FP in it and bingo we have a stunt engine. Ran it this morning with a 10x6 Master Airscrew and it appears to run well on the ground. If the weather was better I would take the plane out but alas its too windy.
