Hey Chris,
I don't read German very well, but I believe I understood the plans showing 0.5 to 1.0 degrees of up thrust, can you confirm this, and let me know what you ended up with on your Eagle?

Thank you,
Manny

Here the Engine has been installed. The cowl is really big and makes the four cylinder look very small under the hood, The intakes on the cowl are not directley infront of the cylinders so we will have to build the baffles to correct this.

Manny did I send you the translated instructions that my wife did. There broken english but they helped me. I have to get the plane out of the rv then I can measure the thrust. I cant remember anymore.

FR1GeeBee · 06-25-2009, 09:42 PM

After talking to a friend that was there when I built it, he remembered it was 1 degree of up thrust and it didn't say in the instructions.

OK what,s Ginger??

The two fuel tanks have been fitted with all the fuel lines, clunks, vents and the over flow....
The Throttle servo is in place and is a JR 8411 Digital. Next we will place the foam around the fuel tanks to keep the vibration down and start to install all the fiberglass body panels.

Its another name for a "red-head" i was referring to the red-cylinder heads of your 3W

FR1GeeBee · 06-30-2009, 09:54 PM

Manny, I found the pics of the baffeling. This probably won't work for youc four cylinder. You should look at Barry's Cub It's more like the way the real Eagle is done, that will cool the rear heads better.
