91" SkyWing ARS 300 Assembly Thread
Been plying with some 3DP Air Dam Ideas. So hot off the bed are two creations. I like the curved one better I think The though would be to glue the flange on the inside of the cowl.- AKNick

Scale 20cc DHC-2 "Beaver" Kit Build from Moustache Model Works
Park Flyer Plastics has a 6" and 8" plastic molded 9 cyl radial for $8 The 1/8 scale FTE is 5.75" @ $33 and the 1/6 scale 7.75" for $40 and resin, so durable, but maybe kinda heavy. Based on my calculations a 7" dia would put the dummy engine about flush with the front of the plywood engine box...- AKNick

@Snoopy1 you can buy the XT-90S that have the spark resistor built in. @FlyingClint thanks for the measurements I really only need two. Here is the 3mm T-Nuts from micro fasteners. Sooooo much more robust.- AKNick

Scale 20cc DHC-2 "Beaver" Kit Build from Moustache Model Works
Saw on FB someone used a resin 1/6 scale (7.25”) dummy resin radial from Frank Tiano Enterprises. But they had to cut the valve covers to make it fit right. Thanks @David Eichstedt for getting the information. https://www.franktiano.com/product-page/dummy-engines- AKNick

Mine had a plastic bushing inside as well. If you have a caliper and can verify the dimensions for me that...- AKNick

I need help timing a 3w-546
Had no idea you had a video out there! Always something to learn. You got a teaser video? As far as the timing question, I still think it would be beneficial to contact 3Dub directly for information If you hoping to do it all yourself. When I'm defeated it does usually mean to call the pros or...- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
I did fly the wingtip into the ground to make that happen HA HA. Wing was solid - without the struts. If the struts were on the window probably would have been fine. I wish the design used cross braces, thicker ply, stronger cabin structure, and lots more glue. I really think this plane is...- AKNick

I need help timing a 3w-546
Isn't that what @stangflyer does too...?? There isn't a whole lot out there that I could find for information. I cannot even find a specific engine manual, just the generic. https://3w-modellmotoren.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Operating-Manual.pdf How are you starting this engine? Sounds like...- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
Happy to help!! Below is my original post about my gear fitting, so yes, just like yours. The welded cross brace and the left spring strut I had to bend to fit. The struts where they attach together inside the bracket I had to file to fit so they wouldn't touch in the middle. The forward bracket...- AKNick
