I know Herve will stand behind the products he sells and tries to keep all his customers satisfied,,,,,,,without replacing peoples hanger rash & mis assemblies (I'm not referring to you) and the "perfect" ARF's are a rarity.

When you give your plane this extra lovin to make it the way you want, it will reward you back in the air

.......I know mine does-----I love it!!!!

Thanks Scotte I'm working on it

tailstrike4 · 03-26-2009, 01:43 PM

Thanks Scotte,
I am working on it I am in the process of making cowl baffels and I am going to make baffels to rout the incoming air around the back of the jugs.
I am going to enlarge the luver (so to speek) on the bottom of the cowl to creat a low pressure area at the bottom of the cowl and a luver at the exit for the canister tunnel.

Those baffles are sweet! I was just going to make a thin plywood plate from the packing materials in my 43% but those shaped baffles are going to work really, really well.

JohnVH · 03-26-2009, 02:03 PM

Ive never made or used baffles before, looks good!

Scotte 540 · 03-26-2009, 02:07 PM

Looks like you are givin the plane some lovin,,,,,,It will love you back

I posted a pick of my baffels but I can't find them, apparently you-all can see them but I can't. I don't know where they went.

That's because its cold here. You need to wrap the motor with warm blankets!

When its 110 outside in the shade the motor likes to have some baffles.

Larry they look great.

Oilsands · 03-27-2009, 05:19 PM

Where do you find the number?

tailstrike4 · 03-27-2009, 05:47 PM

The # should be on the root rib of the wing and on the wood ring of cowl that bolts to the fusalodge.

Oilsands · 03-27-2009, 06:49 PM

I have #17. I have not put it together yet, but when I got it I gave it a once over and the only things I found was some glue from the hinges on the elevator had got onto the surface of the stabs and the canopy got some very minor damage (it got bent in one corner enough that the paint came off in that area). Herve exchanged them right away for me. The rest of the plane looked very good and should be going together in Arpil some time. Again the 2 things I mentioned were very minor and only cosmetic. Really looking forward to flying this one and the PAU Ultimate I got as well. All the dealing with PAU (including Galvin Air Model who is the CND dist) have been excellent.

tailstrike4 · 03-30-2009, 05:26 PM

When I put the Slimline on mine I needed to trim with a dremel the bottom lip off from the firewall.
