Started a spare parts list

Tough call 🤔 -
Yes OS is probably still the most popular

No. But many engines (like my own childhood engine) hardly got any run time on them before being jammed in the back of a drawer. So quite a few near new ones pop up. They are popular for stunt because there's a certain speed you need to fly, any improvements on power are wasted in this case. There's a few Ruskie and Ukrainian engines around too.

A number of guys are running Fox 35s at the club 🙂

Id say you should email them, but they've gone broke in the meantime 😄

From the build manual. Doesn't look like that big a deal to me. And I still don't understand what YOU don't understand about having different radiators for aircraft with different performances. Its as if you couldn't see that maybe a radiator from a F1 car might not perform exactly the same in a LandCruiser 😇
-
The port size is 22mm, not as small as you are probably imagining
-
It's much the same size in the similarly performing zenith and savannah 701. What's your theory then, since the radiators are roughly the same price? Seems to me a slow aircraft could do with a larger radiator. Maybe you ought to write to the bush plane manufacturers and tell them they've been doing it all wrong 😇
-
I reckon maybe that one is for general low wing plane use, and slow draggy planes like mine are best off with something a bit different
-
Damn, that's clever work 😎

Interesting news concerning the airline and possible culture/lack of training issues https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/air-india-pilots-suspension-boeing-777-stall-warning-b2780259.html

Nice work rotating the motor. I've built it's brother the Spitfire, so I know it has hardwood engine bearers. I presume you left those out and fitted a radial mount to the firewall?

Look what I just won at the clubs annual dinner raffle ☺️ This kit is for carrier class. If you fly it in that class, it's 3 line control for throttle. Incidentally, I've found the quickest and easiest way to keep my photos upright here is to just screenshot it 😁

I pushed the new Durafly Rare Bear Reno Racer to 170 MPH !

Impressive, but the video to these old eyes is mostly looking at some lovely clouds and lots of humming ☺️ -
I didn't randomly choose that radiator.. people much smarter than me, aeronautical engineers, chose that part number. Now I look at it, it seems bigger than the standard Rotax jobby. Considering that it's a low n slow plane from a hot country, and the particular location of the radiator, I'm guessing they crunched some numbers on a variety of options and this one did the job for a reasonable price 😇
