Biodiesel
Aug 19, 2008 - 6:25 PM - by RCguy
For a while now, I have noticed some people here discussing this & the cost prohibitive kits available.
last weekend I was camping with friends & when Ed pulled up with his F250, it smelled like a deep fryer.
He explained he is making his own fuel now. He buys it from a renderer who charges him 75 cents a gallon for waste fryer oil. His final cost is $1.00 a gallon. He has invested $400.00 in the components to process the oil.
He says it works great, no change in performance. Plus, severely reduced emissions. The first diesel invented ran on peanut oil. Why should you guys have to buy a petroleum product?
Anyhow, here is the site.

Hope this helps,
Mark

My almost finished bench
Jul 19, 2008 - 9:48 PM - by Astroman
I have almost finished building my modeling bench. I decided to build one instead of using an existing bench I had. I am now after some wood or material, I can put ontop of the plywood bench top so I can pin balsa down to it etc... Any ideas?

On top of the bench is my newly completed own design Field box.

Club benefit air show
Aug 20, 2008 - 1:39 AM - by Detroit Dave
We had our annual air show/fund raiser for our local Humane Society on Sunday. It was pretty windy but we all got a fair amount of stick time in.
We had a few visitors who showed up to aid in the support of the Humane Society. The guys are awesome. They stayed in character the whole time in close to 90 degree heat.
We had a good day overall and raised over $1500.00 for the Monroe County Humane Society.
Here are a couple pics:
1 The visitors to the R/C field.
2 The "Leader of the Pack"
3 That's me getting ready to fly the Pete and Poke I built during the R/C Hangout build we had earlier this year.

Flair puppeteer
Jul 07, 2008 - 4:14 PM - by MerlinL14
I have been so inspired by Tim's Bristol and Joe's WWI planes that I have decided to build me a WWI pup.
I am going to use the Flair Puppeteer kit as the starting point. http://www.flairmodels.co.uk/Aircraf...coutframes.htm navigate to Puppeteer on the left side panel.
I will be building this slow and scale, with as much detail as I am gifted with, so don't expect a 2 week build thread this time round
I haven't decided on engine choice yet other than it will be a 4 stroker, probs a .60ish.
The finished 'scheme' is yet to be finalised as there were so many good looking pups from the many squadron's of the Royal Flying Corps and I can't make my mind up .

I should actually get to commit glue to wood this weekend, I will keep you all updated as I go and will be asking for tons of advice

I have started this second thread on the Pup so there is somewhere to put scale photos/drawings that won't then clutter up the build thread.
If you happen across any photos on the WWW or of other modellers Pup's then please post them in here, any references to size/construction would be a bonus.
Thanks.

trainers ? wich one
Aug 17, 2008 - 5:22 PM - by may day
interested in buying an arf trainer over the winter months. I dont want to build a kit yet but do want to learn the basic of installing servos and ect. Ive looked into the sig kadet, hangar 9 arrow 40, hobbico avistar and nexstar. wondering who has flown these and how they liked them as far as flyability and durability.

Added a new one to the operational hanger
Aug 18, 2008 - 10:51 PM - by JohnBuckner
Always loved the Hanger 9 Ultra Lite 120. Have flown a few differant ones with various engines and they were all fun. A fellow local about four years ago put this one together but tore some hanger rash on the fuselage, so he got mad and striped the fuse and covered it all white monocoat. Looked well, looked awful and he never ended up flying it. In a weak moment I bought it about four years ago intending to recover the fuse once agine but its been sitting forever it seems.

Propdinger (RCH) finally embarassed me into getting it going so redid the fuse and did a maiden last thursday. They are such nice flying airplanes I guess I should have done this a lot sooner.

The engine is a new Webra 120 with a new OS #7 carburator. I never messed with Webra's before but this one with OS carb is just the ticket. Man excellent throttling and seems supper reliable.

John
