Nobler Question

[Warren Leadbeatter]

Rob, I have been enjoying the Nobler... got it trimmed and running right now and flew the full pattern 3 times today, it is as they say very smooth in the turns and very graceful.  I really like the stability it has when inverted and with the 4-2-4 break happening it sounds great. Even the local kids riding by on their push bikes have stopped and commented on how good it looks and sounds.

The only thing I haven't enjoyed is all that castor oil that comes out from the Fox .35 and gets all over everything.

I also have a Brodak Original Nobler Kit and a Sig Super Chipmunk Kit... not sure when I'll be building them though... I have to think about getting back into the work force before my wife kicks me out. lol

Current project is a Brodak Cardinal that is coming out very nicely, just waiting for the engine to arrive.  After that? It's something for my new ST G21 46 that I got for my birthday.  I'm thinking about maybe a Brodak Pathfinder because my 1/2A Pathfinder flies so well. Or perhaps something semi scale like a scratch built P51 Mustang. I'm not sure yet but open to suggestions.

I would also like to build something for my OS FS 52. I was thinking about a Strega ARF but have been advised they need a bigger engine plus they are way too expensive to get here. ie over $400 AUD.

Cheers

Warren,glad you are having good results with the Nobler.  I have had three of them at various times of my modeling.  I aint counting the ARF Nobler, guess that is really four of them.

Hi Guys

Just got back from the Hunter Valley Championships. Thanks for all your help and advice. The Nobler and I came in 2nd Place in the Classic Stunt.

Cheers

That's a great job, Warren!

Warren,
That is a beautiful paint scheme.

Randy,
That is the best summation of fuels, etc that I have seen. Thankyou from us all.

To All,
The Fox statements on limited break in required  ("No special break in is required other than careful flying") has an untold story behind it.

Several years ago, while John Lowry was still working at Fox, Bob Gieseke and I special ordered some Fox .35s, requesting that they be fitted tight. We did this so that we can control our own lap-in and break-in.

John told me, at the time, that the newer Foxes are intentionally fitted looser because most people do not want to spend time breaking in engines.

Bill,

You old man you..., The 1st time I personally saw a sand cast Fox, they were out of production 20 years.. I am just a kid who doesn't intend to grow up!

Yeah, I *think* Gail, and I, have been married about a month longer (or is it shorter??) than you and Linda.  Say *Hello* to her from us!
