    Official 3DRCF Review of EME 55V2 and accessories from Mile High RC

    Gotcha! I've thought about putting thin foam strategically in the fuselage to keep the airframe from eating itself with resonant vibrations. I've seen the same thing done with full scale airplanes in addition to insulation.

    Official 3DRCF Review of EME 55V2 and accessories from Mile High RC

    Good Update Bipenut ! I like the full length engine run and tuning. So I've heard that it's good practice to put the wings on during a ground run for a single cyl gasser for vibration dampening - is this a myth or just with the smaller gassers?

    Baffling the Cowl I bought 6mm and 3mm craft foam from Joan's Fabric, as long as it isn't too close to the exhaust or cooling fins it wont melt. The general purpose of doing this is so that the air moving through the cowl's opening is kept/directed around the cooling fins and exhaust port of...

    Thanks for the input. I'm thinking about changing back to 91 and using a 2gal jug instead of my 1gal baby. Ok so without too much controversy what are you guys using for oil/fuel ratio? I've been doing 32:1 but I hear a lot of folks using 40:1? I get a little (tiny bit) oily residue coming out...

    In Alaska, most all gas is ethanol free which makes it easy. I think I started using 91, but switched to 87. It made it easier to fill up my 1 gal tank then top off my truck. But now I'm the proud owner of three gasoline engines, I may just buy a 2gal jug and keep the 1 gal a petroleum based for...

    I did some flying too!! Got about 3flights in with the 71" slick, one with the foamy, and had the beast owner come out and fly it. I have a lot of respect for him. Use to fly RC models in the 60's with the old Kraft radios with just a push button... Must have been a really cool thing back in the...

    ditto. Our main flying site is a shared site, so I feel you pain. Tour buses park in the lot during the summer, and the city dumps snow off the streets in the corner. Complicated to keep going.
