Re: Buying a Slipstream Beaver Quote:
 I have a set of floats for her but haven't had a chance to try them out. We're planing on going to a float fly in northwest Ontario this summer to try the Beaver in the environment it's best suited for. Rick |

Re: Buying a Slipstream Beaver I have the 5" dubros inflatables on mine again now for the winter. I just replaced the horrizontal stab and elevator due to rot. It must have been soaked with water one to many times lol. Aztech aeromodels have all the parts and are very good to deal with. I ordered the H. stab and elevator and he shipped both horrizontal and vertical stabs with rudder and elevator for $40 shipping included. I emailed Great Hobbies to get the parts but they didnt respond to me. The Slip Stream Beaver at Aztech sells for $200. |

Re: Buying a Slipstream Beaver Here is mine with a DM-33 engine. As said many times on this thread already, its too much power but I put a huge 20x6 prop on it so it slows it down quite a bit. I'm working on a float set right now and I just finished installing the windows. They really add to the looks of the plane. I once flew when it was -15 deg C and I had 3 aileron hinges break... Made for an interesting landing haha. I replaced them with small 1/8'' robarts. Too bad I cannot replace the one in the tail due to me perma gluing the U wire that connects both elevators and also the tail wheel wire glued into the rudder. Not sure this plane is going back on wheels unless i find some gigantic tundra tires  Fun little plane ! |

Re: Buying a Slipstream Beaver The floats are a Great planes 60 size kit that I covered with resin( 2 coats). My wife taped and painted them for me. They are V bottom and all wood(resin outside). I only have video for about 1/8th of the flights with the beaver. I am using Ipone oil at 32:1 and it seems to keep the engine and muffler very clean, smells good too. |

Re: Buying a Slipstream Beaver Good for you! I'm a firm beleiver that the more you run a gasser, the better they run. I have an old G62 that must have a 205litre drum of fuel run through it. I actually mounted it on a glider tug near Christmas. Had the muffler off, it was amazing how nice the cylinder was. I've owned that engine twice out of the 5 owners since about 1999. Over Christmas I ran 15L of fuel through a new ZDZ90 on my test stand. Represents at least 8hrs running. So you must have several hundred flights on your Beaver. (Nice to watch the use of rudder). -Dale- P.S. Have some side photo's of your floats?

Re: Buying a Slipstream Beaver Looking good Dale, get some 5" inflatable Dubros for it now. I have about 25 Liters of gas through mine now with some hard landings and deadsticks but is still going strong, actually better. Good luck |
