Okay guys and gals we have a finished prototype for the Tulsa Time models/kits by Walter Umland Profile Gieseke Nobler.
Special thanks to Russ Main for taking countless hours to build and paint the Profile Gieseke Nobler prototype.
Russ chose to use an ASP 36 on it, so I am sure Russ will jump in to answer any and all of your questions.
Specs: Wing Span: 50"
Sq. in.: 510.88"
Length: 37.1875"
Eng: .35-.40

*The third photo down shows a solid rudder, we were testing to see if a solid rudder would be better for
this kit but we decided to stay with the model's original type and went with the built-up rudder.

That is a very nice looking plane! Awesome!

Walter, as always, your building documentaries are splendid. I learned a couple really useful things from this. So, thanks much!

Where did Russ get the ASP 36? I would be interested in a review as to how well that engine runs side mounted.
Does anyone know if the ASP 36 has the same dimensions (mounting hole spacing, crankshaft length, etc.) as the Magnum 36? I have a spec sheet for the ASP engines. I hope it is accurate. I can't find a spec sheet for the Magnum 36.

Hi Jim,
I got the ASP a while ago and thought this would be a good application for it. Jim Lee made the venturi, I haven't flow the plane yet. The weather has been nice while I am at work and the weekends have been raining or windy. As far as same as the Magnum? I have seen many people say it is made at the same factory and the specs should be the same. I think there is a post on these engines some place here so you could probably do a search. I'll post a performance follow up soon.
I would like to point out the tool used to slot the hinges. It's called Areobroach, I saw it at the Weak Signals Show in Toledo. You get the tips and I used an Exacto knife handle. I tried it at the show and it cuts real nice through the trailing edge. I still use an alignment tool to get the center, but I didn't like picking out the waste. It was not expensive and it's my go to tool for slotting.
I doubt I can say anything new about Walter's kits that hasn't been said. Top quality, makes building easy, I would never scratch build as long as Walter is putting kits out. You just can't duplicate the quality. This was a fun build my first kit was a Nobler and I still love them today.
