    I think you need a bigger truck to haul that one with :)

    Best throttle servo

    @Bunky.F.Knuckle here is the picture of the cowl. I noticed that there is a drip on the bottom of the cone. Any ideas?

    Best throttle servo

    The carb has the 3W 90 degree horn on it with the pulse port hose from the carb connected to it. I will try to send you a picture of the front of the cowl.

    Best throttle servo

    Other than it being loud because the canisters aren't on it yet, for the most part, yes. Still trying to work out the mid range burble. getting closer, but afraid I will end up to lean on the top end when it is done. If I lean the bottom any more, the throttle sags when you accelerate quickly...

    Best throttle servo

    Hmmm may have to take a look at the gaskets on the 106 to see if one of them pushed out on me :)

    Best throttle servo

    Have you double checked the linkage to make sure something hasn't loosened up? I did just replace the ignition on my 3w-106 and it cleared a lot of things up, but I am still having trouble getting the engine to idle down when coming in for a landing. I am going to swap out my throttle servo and...

    3D BH Design 50% Edge 540

    Nice work Rob! The fuselage looks very similar to a 30% Edge that I had covered and flown a couple of years ago :)

    Frank Bowman rings low compression

    Well, I just replaced the ignition on the 106 with an RC Excel ignition and WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I picked up 1,000 rpm on the ground, the idle is much better and the throttle response is instant, the way my 150 runs :) Happy camper here guys! Hope I can get it in the air tonight for a little bit...

    Real Flight 7.5...

    @Terryscustom if you can send me the digital images of the Viper scheme, I can try to make the scheme work with a Yak or another plane that is included with RF. I am actually going to work on a scheme for the Extra 330 to match my 103" 3DHS Extra after I get the Crown Royal scheme done :)

    Real Flight 7.5...

    If you have access to graphics editing software that will allow you to create separate layers, it makes it a lot easier to do. It can be done without creating the layers, but it takes a lot longer and can be VERY tedious.

    Real Flight 7.5...

    @SleepyC Yes they are still a flat file. You are looking for .tga files. I am not sure how the file structure is laid out on a Mac, but on a pc with Windows 7 Pro, you go to your Documents library and open the RF 7.5 folder. Then you go to the Vehicles folder and then to the schemes folder. The...

    As you can see some of the alignments are off. That is just a matter of trial and error with this particular scheme :)

    3W Ignition timing manual

    The main reason I put this up is the 106 is running ok, but just didn't think it was what it should be. So I put the degree wheel on it and NOTHING made sense! The hub has 2 magnets and neither one was anywhere near 28 degrees btdc, so I asked a few 3w gurus from around here and nobody had the...

    3W Ignition timing manual

    Hey everyone, Thought I would post this manual in case anyone else would like instructions on setting the timing for the engines with dual magnets and using the 3W ignition. Hope it helps someone else out :)
