hoe did you post such a lrge picture all I ca post are thumb nails

Dunno, it was below the 150kB limit though. Actually, it isn't an image per se, it is a url to an image on another site. I pasted the url, then highlighted it, then clicked on the IMG button.

I ran two tanks through the 25FX, holy carp! 13,800 RPM on 5% with a 9x6 MA. (static) That calculates to .7 horsepower and about 3.8 lbs thrust, or 77 miles per hour! (ignoring drag)

Zing!

Jeff, I still have not finished that Mustang. I have done nothing in the workshop for several weeks. It has been a good lesson in coro building and I think I am going to use most of your techniques to make some planes for next year. I'm leaning towards the ME-109. I think it would be a very straightforward wing to build. I think I prefer the shrunken pop bottle method for cowls. I found the all coro cowl a bit finicky to try to get the cowl and spinner backplate to match up. I'll have the old patched up Corsair and a zero for Sunday. I hope to get the zero flown and trimmed out this week. It still has not flown. I took out that crappy Thunder Tiger and put in a reliable O.S. It's a lot easier to test fly when you have proper engine runs and I like the remote needle better than the ones that are so close to the meat grinder at the front.
Best Regards.

bob I still use a pop bottle over the corro all you have to do is get the corro close and the pop bottle dose the rest.

All the combat guys around prefer running on there os 25fx a MA 9x4 with cool power 15% fuel. All stock. Get it broken in right and you will have a strong engine. You will not need to even throw the plane. Just let go. This is on a 3 lb bird or lighter.
