Airlock problem ??? Are you rotating it 180 degrees?


TB

No, that would defeat the object, it is rotated 90 degrees so the throttle lever which was on the side is now on the top and the metering chamber is on the bottom where it should be. See this article for more info : http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/gas-...g-while-6.html

Hey Guys.......a question for those of you that have this air/frame.......is the kit supposed to include a "Face/Plate" or anything to finish off the door latch operating mechanism.......I see two threaded holes provided to attach "Something"........nothing in my kit & the manual doesn't seem to say anything about it......what am I missing?

not really sure what you are looking at...there is nothing to add to the preinstalled mechanism.. pix?

The threaded holes you're seeing have machine screws in them coming from the inside. That's where the "locking bars" are attached on the inside of the door.

OK.....thanks guys......it just struck me as "Something" missing........I'm thinking I will make a cover that will include a knob or lever & install using those same threaded holes.......
Thanks Again.....

I’m with you. It looks unfinished and mine is tough to get hold of without anything screwed into it. Be sure and post a picture of what you come up with. I would like to do something.

I did this and I can now turn it easier.

I have the H9 'spring-gear' on my X-Cub and can guarantee thst they are articulated and 'sprung(?)'. Under the black covers there are two heavy duty steel springs for each leg. They work a treat and mine are fitted with the scale sullivan wheels supplied with the kit.

This will work until I find something better.......just a simple plastic bottle cap......easy to turn & pull

I like it. Simple yet functional.

Thank You.....the plan is to replace the screws with round head stainless, probably Phillips drive.......

Has anyone put a DA60 in one of these? How did it fit. I am going to pick one up and have been thinking about engine options. I want good power and a fairly clean cowl. Pics would be appreciated.

The springs that came in my kit are very different from those pictured on demo plane (pic attached scraped from Horizon video). Anyone know if these are available to order? Look much more effective than what I’ve got.
