Spit fire had a 49cc strimmer engine in it two stroke acctually flew very well .. sold it because I was affrade of crashing it
I forgot about my steam days too. I used to build 00 railway lay outs then I semi built a live steam 0-6-0 saddle tanker .. I bought it off a chap who never finished the kit ..I finished it off and joined the steam club .. only problem was not enough track space I needed a bigger garden it drove nice with the tender housing a water tank as well as the seat to sit on and drive it. Spit fire was the same semi built unfinished project. 1/3rd scale took me 3 months to finish it always fancied jet engines I looked at a helicopter once that was a turbine one just expencive if they go pete tong |

Its amazing how far technology has come, now you can buy a tiny plane weighing 38g with all the rc gear in there, motor, battery, elevator, rudder, some even have ailerons too. They fly very well for such small planes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPbIRGqiHkU Oh! and batteries, that was the main thing! the batteries. When I was a kid everyone flew petrol engines, because NiMh batteries (dont even think about lead-acid) were too heavy and could not provide much current. Now when Lithium Polymer batteries appeared it was a game changer. Now I can draw 25A reliably from a 850mah capacity battery, its almost hard to believe. Most household appliances are limited to 13A! Last edited by Goran; 8th August 2014 at 08:46 AM. |
