Title: Merry Christmas!!!!
Post by administrator on Nov 7^th, 2013 at 5:28pm

Merry Christmas to me!! Merry Christmas to meeee!! Oh my, Xmas has come early!!! The first and second pictures are the Hanger 9 P-51D Blue Nose 60 and the FG-21 gas Saito for the plane. The third, fourth and fifth pictures are the Hanger 9 Spitfire MkII 60 and the FG-17 gas Saito for the plane. The sixth and seventh picture is the Hanger 9 1/4 Scale PA-18 Super Cub. I have not ordered the engine yet and wanted to stay with gas; however, the recommended Saito 182 twin glow will fit without cutting the cowl up while the recommended Zenoah requires some cowl modification. Have not decided or ordered the engine for the Cub yet. What do you guys think. All the other stuff is in my hobby room ready to be built.

I decided to go with the Saito 182TD twin cylinder glow engine. It's expensive; but, I just couldn't cut up the cowl on the Super Cub. Have to go back to work to pay for all this.

Guess I better dig out my 1/3-scale Cub for next year. Got a Zenoah G-62 on it right now but it's a bear to get started. Want to change to electronic ignition.

BTW, Bruce, I can't wait to see the Spitfire in the air. One of my favorite planes!
