    You should know your aircraft have a check list of all the major control linkages wing attachment points all of the main thinks you do before your flight take off your engine cowls check the engine mountings. DONT wait for you hundred hourly inspections things can work lose long before that . As far as lames go word of mouth find one with good rep.

    Hi Justin the ailerons were set with to much down throw creating heaps of lift and produing to much drag in level flight . There is a standed for setting up of the ailerons yours might be different becuase you have flaps not familiar with your set up..
  9. skyfox1
    Hi Justin also check the ailerons to see if they are set even l have fixed to drifters that flew terrible because the ailerons were set with to much camber you always had to have heaps of forward stick pressure to fly level.

    Hi Bacon as far as l know l havent heard but if there is it is most likey for legal reasons not the oil its self . The reason they stop making the green slim {which was the best oil } some one try to sue them over it when it was used in an aircraft not sure of the details ,hi have had know problem using the penrite hi-per .. cheers Geoff..
  19. skyfox1
    l use Penrite Hi-per two stroke semi synthetic low smoke this was the replacement for the green slim l buy it in 20l drums though my mates shop..

    It did fly but not good it weather cocked all over the place and change the ailerons when the wing move the aileron push rod would alter, he landed ok .

    Hi Tex only one wire broke the paddock was real rough the motor was moving a bit and the prop caught the wire.
  22. skyfox1
    Hi Tex mine are quite tight l was supprised when Wayne Fisher told me how tight they should be . My mates were so loose the prop hit it and broke on take off it wasnt very nice to fly to get it back on the ground. l have move mine back to the front bolt on the elevator it gives a lot more clearance from the prop.
  23. skyfox1
    Hi Tex it is only a dull twang
  24. skyfox1
    Hi Justin dont twist any more than five times thats about max.
  25. skyfox1
    They should be tight enough so there is no movement side to side with the wings there is no set tension in lbs that l know of but you should be able to flick it and make a dull twaning sound thats how it was explain to me by Wayne fisher over here as he is the drifter manufactor here. make sure you measure the distance so each wing is equal distance
