Mike - yes...crazy, crazy busy this year.
Danny...Never seen anyone have a problem with an OS 4 stroke this side of crashing them. I've got 3 of them and love them.... including two 70's waiting for the right twin to come along.... In any case, parts are readily available Through Great Planes from your favourite hobby shop..a complete head is not that expensive (relatively speaking...)

A lot depends on the type of fuel that you are using..Byron and Sig have way too much oil and gunk up pretty badly, while Cruel Power doesn't have enough and a lean run or a bit of moisture (unheard of in the lower mainland, I'm sure..) will will do serious internal damage....
I've got both Saito and OS 4 strokes and have never had problems with either (except for the one I crashed at Frys....)

The moisture here is pretty solid and white, and abounds in massive quantities. It stopped snowing this morning and the sun came out. It is supposed to warm up to +3 on Christmas day - I might be able to sneak out and go flying!!

:D

Hi Danny, did you get the springs for that 91 ?
I'm heading over to Norburns tomorrow and can put a order in if you like. :)

Thanks Harv. :wink: I sent you an email. Make sure you hold them for me, I think Mike is going to try to scoop them up before I do. Shocked

I want to get the Extra up again soon. After I get her trimmed up properly, she'll be lots of fun. 8)

Temporarily suspended so they could squeeze in another fall-winter-spring cycle, I guess..... T shirt weather is supposed to be back next week, I hear....

Hi-Way_Man · Posted: Fri May 07, 2010 9:23 pm Post subject:

Yes, the weather has improved out here as well. More sun these last few days.And has dried out considerably.
A friend gave me a Ultimate I'm just dieing to take for a flight. It's a Carl Goldberg kit and was built in 06 some time.I think there discontinued now so it's a bit of a classic now a days.I seen it fly last year and it flew well. It has a Saito 150s under the hood.I think that's plenty of power for the type of flying I do. It's not covered like this one but the design is the same.

Hold on a second. :? That's not a War Bird. I think you should let me have it. LOL

You should really enjoy that plane. 8) I understand that the Ultimate is a favorite for Bipe pilots.

Hi Dan, If I use some imagination, some camo covering and maybe mount some 30cal. guns on the wings . It could become a War Bird. :)
But the previous owner may not approve. :?

You may have something there. First minor hangar rash repair should be a good enough excuse to refinish her in full War Bird colours. Can you get operational guns? LOL

Heli makes a good target. Let me know when you maiden. I'd like to see her fly.

Wayne, I hope that bird pumps water or generates power. Rolling Eyes

And now that the snow has melted off it maybe you can take it for a flight or two... :wink:
Just kidding.
