Wasp check this out it’s not really pretty but I think it would fly.

That ol' girl just needs a little TLC and a Saito to take to the air. Is that a 72 Mhz antenna hole behind the turtle deck I see?

Captcrunch44

Yup
I still use 72 works for me

Yesirreee,

I still use only 50 mhz, ham radio systems. My newest radios are Futaba 9Cs and I have 6 of them! Nothing wrong with that 50 and 72 MHz stuff.

Jim, they took the foil added adhesive to the back and called it Flitemetal and AeroFoil and some soft headed fools actually bought it! I confess I bought the later its a little lighter.

guys, I like this plane in my link, it has potential, a little work on the tail feathers and here and there and it will look like it's straight out of the 30s.
but if I bought it, it would be setting a while, like my Telesport

Old School Model Works : Sky Ranger 40

Jim, their color scheme for that one is pretty cool looking. I like their .20-.51Javelin too.

I have one setting in the box down stairs waiting to get put together. Looking for a saito 56 to put on it.

Reminds me of the old sweet and low.

Jesse Open

One thing for sure, I would move the main landing gear rearward.

Those Astro hogs fly even more betta on Goldberg floats.
been having a cold blast flying off snow yesterday.
Gotta love the hog!
(Even if it is wearing an OS 91)

Jesse Open

Sorry, I was talking about the Sky Ranger 40.
the gear were way forward of the leading edge.

Got two Hogs here to unload. A plane old standard covered in silk and dope and a Hog Bipe. Matching silk and doped. Very light.

for it to come out of the 30s that Sky Ranger would have to have it's seat put back a bit

I like the color scheme too

Jim

Hyjinx

Hmm
Working on organization in my hanger. May have room for a naked Astro bipe. Got shelves of bored Saito's. I love the flight charistics and simple rc design. I am sixty miles west of the city if your the gentleman around metro Detroit. I get into town a bit. And drive a truck eh.

Glowgeek

Hyjinx, if I lived that close to Gary we'd be in a truck race to get that Hog Bipe!

erieqc

Can someone tell me what the difference between the saito 56 and the 56b?
thanks

Glowgeek

Not a lot. The B has a different case with the low profile cam gear housing and a plastic throttle arm. Same bore and stroke as an A.

erieqc

Ok thanks

Glowgeek

Erieqc, a 62 makes 10% more hp than a 56 and has the same mounting footprint. I thought I'd mention that in case you weren't sure if the 56 would have enough grunt.

Saito 56-A

Saito 56-B
Here ya go, one of each

Just walked in the door 5 minutes ago. Left Detroit at 9:00 AM, drove to Columbus Ohio. Dropped off both planes and brought home a very nice, 1949 vintage EF Johnson Viking One ham radio transmitter.
