RCCOMBAT Forum

Guys, I would be lying if I said I didn't miss it, I do. I keep thinking about building up a couple and making a meet or two...one of these days, maybe. You know what I really miss? Me, Ed Scott and Jp pimping Cottontail all over God's green earth to try to get 2548 going...all the designs that we'r...

Hi everybody. I've been out of combat and the RCCA for a couple of years now. If I said I didn't miss combat, I'd be lying, I just like what i'm flying now a little better...but I think I could do this, easy build, no pressure, minimal rules.
Just need a couple of guys local here to fly against.

Hey ya'll, it's been a while since I visited. I've thought long and hard, and decided to hang up my Combat goggles for good, at least as far as SSC goes..I'm keeping a couple of scale birds. Anyway, I have 5 wings, 2 of which Evan Winger gave me, 2 stock Avenger wings, 1 Battle Axe wing, 2 Avenger f...

Nice pics Ed..you are officially Squadron Photographer now..

For anybody interested, the major dimensions that really matter in 3696 is the wing area and wingspan..can't be over 250 square inches, or bigger than 36 inches span, plus keeping the nose and tail moments reasonably to scale. Timo's Yak is 34 inches in span, has 225 square inches, and is very close...

Hi Timo, thanks for the kind words. I've gotten into Old-Timers, so I've been off the combat forums for a bit..I've found that I like to build..a lot[:)] Anyway, I think that the Y ak would make a good conversion to our 3696 class..I think it would hold up well as is, or a builder could build the fu...

Soooo...how did it go? While I've been sucking up sheetrock dust and tearing out my <i>sanctum santorium</i> you boys have been chasing streamers! Who did what? Anybody hit the windsock?[:p]

Lee, I disassembled the shop...I was thinking about building a shop in the back yard, but Teresa just basically said to take over the whole garage...so I am[:D] I'll have room to build oldtimers, SSC birds, and other stuff without banging a wing into the wall, or tripping over everything I'm working...

My shop is basically disassembled., and it will probably be 3 weeks to a month or so before it is back in shape. Once Iget my stuff back in house I'll be good...

I can vouch for Timo's designs, the KI-43 I have is based off his plans and parts..
Nice work Timo!!

Just got some in from Hobbypeople, they list the 8-3 under stock number MA0830, same as tower, but I got black props with no decaling. They're 8-3's allright, just black and no "combat" imprinted on them. BTW, Tower says that the MA0830 is blue...

Just want to add my thanks to everybody who made the LSN what it was, lotsa fun despite the weather..I especially want to thank Ed Kettler for serving as my Morale Officer, and Even Winger for letting me beat up his gear in SSC..I appreciate it..![:D] Glad to see some faces that I don't see often, a...
