OMG , where are you getting these stuff from, i wish i had more doe

I would have used the word "vintage" (or "classic" or something like that), instead of "old".  Using the word "old" makes them seem like old stock or used ?

 :thumbsup: Anwar >>>> edited how does it  sound now

its here thanks, will put the build log

Warbirds would be more apt. Seeing the subject I thought there would be some Vintage model kits, but only to see ARF's of Vintage A/c.
Any way the VQ range is solidly built. Those who remember my VQ Hawker Hurricane would know   

My all time favourite The Wurger - FW 190. Can this baby practically be converted to Electric?

nope

Why not?

yes they can be converted into electric....one can convert a 100CC gasser into an electric..

1.for starters Focke Wolf into electric? all FW pilots will toss in their graves,
2.those who love Warbird models and have gone great lengths to put a 4s or RCV engines on them will kill VC.
3.Thirdly it is Blasphemy to do so,
4. Last but not the least, CG issues are very difficult to sort, unless you want that stupid motor to also carry Ballast as well.

I am a electric enthusiast, on a giant scale Focke Wolf an electric Motor? GGRRRRR >:D

I Agree with you sir...after maximum 30 size for electrics.....After that you have to smell burning ,slimy, sticky Castor oil...
Or burn gasoline in the air

Gusty, I heartily agree to what you say, except #4. Actually when it comes to CG issues, electrics do have a huge advantage in the form of useful ballast each of them should carry and appropriate placement of this piece of ballast obviates use of any dead ballast which we slimers are forced to add to the nose of most of our warbirds.
Going by the experience of my Hurricane, one would anyway require plenty of lead upfront to balance these.
Here are two pictures to give you an idea what I had to do to move the CG at the correct location
1. First picture - A box built for the 2400 MaH battery as far forward as possible. You can detect the box just under the engine bearers, with two shiny screws for securing the box lid
2. Ply Plate added on one side of engine bearer and then lead weight secured to the plate    

And BTW before someone asks, this model met its demise on the main runway just in front of FIS hangar

Thats gr8, just today, i did that to my slow stick , put the batt almost under the motor,
i was skeptical aabout the giant scale, did it balance CG ? could you put a smaller mah batt (I mean did you have the flexibility for the batt?). May the Hurricane's soul RIP, may have been a QFI ka sathaya hua ;D

PS
Thats what makes this discussions gr8, every hour and every day you are learnin more..

wow.. very nice models praveen... keep it up...

Gusty,
I needed weight in the nose, so went with the heaviest bty pack availble, yes in terms of current requirment I could have gone with a smaller pack but then would have had to add more lead.
Most large (i.e 40 size and above) warbirds end up needing additional weight in the nose to balance. Therefore when you are powering with electric setup, you have the flexibility of moving the battery pack to a suitable location to reduce dead weight as much as possible 

When you have bucks,  "does" will always be around ;D

That would be "dough" !

The FIAT looks absolutely sexy. If only I could clean - or at least thin - out my hangar of the "yet to be assembled/built" models!

That was the intended pun.

he is talking about... a deer, a female deer ;)

Oh Deer

Like the Sound of Music to my ears.

for those who no longer have a memory of it

Thanks for bringing childhood memories of Sound of Music back to life, we did this in a inter school play, and of course "Hello Dolly' brings more naughty memories from the Staff College.

"Doe (Depending on experience) Pay", shortened to doe, can also be used i thought  ???,
 
Doe (the Deer) ? Something similar was my first 2 ship callsign, back in the early nineties. ;D

Guys!!
this is the thread about Vintage warbirds, if you please, not some zoo,
VC was right, forum has gone WILD

thanks sujju

Iam sure the fiat would find  space in your  hanger specially with all your collections of rare engines and models it shouldn't look odd amidst them

Gusty Adrenaline/typhoon & Tigercat soon to land

Adrenaline 90 is one pitchy fellow, super plane, book it for me

Warbirds need nose weight because in the days whenthey were designed the engines had a lower power to weight ratio. So the nose was naturally heavier. One can go for the new smaller size gas engines which have a lower power to weight ratio. But for 250 dollars one should try to get something better than an unbranded engine.
