Sauer 101
Pete Moore casts his eyes over Sauer latest rifle the budget-busting - well certainly cheaper - 101
Sauer has a serious reputation as a rifle maker and their bolt-action 202 must be one of the most popular guns in Europe with a strong following in the UK too. To be honest I am not a fan, nothing to do with its ability or quality, it's just the case sometimes that you don't get on with something and I'm uncertain what it is. Shoots well, works well, but not for me! So I was intrigued this year at IWA when they showed off their latest design, the 101, which is very similar mechanically to Mauser's M12.
Given both companies along with Blaser are part of the SIG group, this parallel development is hardly surprising, however they both offer specifi c design features that should encourage brand loyalty. Even Jamie Garland (Sauer distributor) admitted to me that the two guns are near identical! I can vouch for this as I tested the M12 last issue and now have the pleasure of the 101 for this one. It's not often you get to follow up on a story like this so quickly, and also posses the leading question of: is there a clear winner?
In truth the 101 is very 202-like though the former shows good and bad areas. It also scores in some aspects over the M12, whereas in others I feel it lacks. However, putting my head on the block I already prefer the 101 to its older sibling and whereas I would never buy a 202, its younger brother is a consideration and not just for price alone!
This got me thinking as to why I donft favour the 202 and I have identifi ed three aspects of the design, since using the 101.
1 - The single column magazine needs to be removed to be fi lled and though an adequate capacity; in truth I prefer a four or fi ve shot staggered column unit.
2 . The ejection port is adequate for the job of getting cases out but therefs little access to get in to clear a stoppage or single load.
3 . The twin button, push up/down safety with SAFE located on the tang and FIRE inside the trigger guard, though clever, is a bit involved.
The rifle shows an all-steel, fi xed barrelled action and some unconventional thinking. Most notable is the barrel fi tting as the receiver is heated up and the chase forced into it then pinned in position in what Sauer calls: 'a tension-free HEAT LOCK process.' Secondly the EVER REST bedding, which consists of a large square alloy recoil block that pins to the barrel and sits in a pocket in the action void. It is then bolted into position to give what we are told is maximum stock isolation.
Traditionally twin action screws pass up through the bottom metal and into the underside of the receiver. Not totally in this case as the rear one goes into the tang with the front screwing into the forward nut just holding the bottom metal. Better or different - we shall see!
The action is very 202 but again with some surprises. The large and solid bolt uses 6-lugs with a swept back handle with a 60° lift angle, the face shows twin, plunger-type ejectors. The ball end is fl uted plastic! Feed is from a 5-shot (four in Magnum) polymer magazine with the release button at the front. Taking a leaf from the Browning X-Bolt there's a combined bolt removal/unlocking button (SAFE OPENER) on the rear right of the action that if the gun is cocked and on SAFE you can still open the action.
The DURA SAFE safety confused me as when I first saw it I thought it was a de-cocker, as it's placed at the rear of the bolt, it put me in mind of the Sauer 90s tang-mounted design only higher. However it's a normal ON/OFF system, which locks in SAFE mode by an integral button, which has to be depressed fi rst then slid up to FIRE. To return it pulls down with no button operation required. The 202-like receiver shows a slightly larger ejection port.
There are two models and two options; the wood stocked 101 Classic (grade 1 walnut) and the synthetic 101 Classic XT, which shows a soft touch polymer build. Both are available in Standard and Magnum options with the latter showing a 24.5" tube as opposed to the 22" of the former. Calibres: Standard - 22-250 Rem, 243/308/270 Win, 6.5x55 SE, 7x64, 30-06 Springfi eld, 8x57 IS and 9.3x62. Magnum - 7 mm Rem Mag, 300 and 338 Win Mag, capacity differs being 5 and 4 accordingly. Like the M12 I am confused why they have not offered anything bigger like 375 H&H etc, it's not like the action could not take it! At 42 and 44" long and 6.725 lbs or 6.94 lbs accordingly the 101 is a good looking and feeling rifle.
The soft touch stock is very much to my liking with a decent 14.5" length of pull, cast-in gripping panels back and front along with an ambidextrous butt shape and pistol grip, and a good rubber recoil pad. Two QD sling studs are fi tted in the normal places with a third in the tip of the semi-Schnable forend. Comb height is near perfect too. The 101 Classic comes in wood in an identical build, take it or leave it! I have not seen one in the fl esh but the quality of timber looks about the same as the Mauser from photographs; for that read average at best. I was told by Garlands that there is no Grade II upgrade option as there is with the M12, well at least Sauer don't rub it in your face!
Interestingly this is also refl ected in the price with the wood being £1595 and the XT a staggering £1395. Making them £100 and £200 cheaper than the comparable M12s though the Mauser comes with bases, whereas the 101 does not, but a set of Warnes or similar will only set you back about £40 so there is a saving. The rifl e came from UK importers Garlands with a set of real Talley mounts and a Swarovski Z6i Mk II 2.5-15x42 HD scope, so no complaints on optics!
The barrel is button rifl ed and we are told by Sauer that it's a match grade tube. It shows what I would term a light/medium profi le and comes threaded 14x1mm (no spigot) from Garlands. They told me that they will not be offering ½ x 20 UNF, which I think is a mistake, but things could change. Iron sights are an optional extra but as standard the guns come barebacked.
For me the 101 shows both positive and negative features. The ejection port is just large enough to top load the magazine, but you can't single load by just dropping a round onto the platform as when rammed it nose-dives into the breech face. The safety is a tad too high for easy thumb operation as you break your fi ring hand hold; also you have to remember to press the button too. It's not a big deal, just not that well thought out. A standard, tangmounted design would have been better; sometimes I think certain features are put on for the novelty! Hey let's fit a normal safety; to hell with that let's make something different then justify it! The bolt runs smooth and slick and the action cocks easily, plus those twin ejectors really kick the brass out. The magazine free falls from the well nicely and the stock shows a most practical layout and dimensions. The trigger is crisp and light breaking at a quoted 2 lbs; I would not disagree. However, I would say be aware of this and get used to it as it's easily pulled… Sauer have been smart as the receiver is shaped and drilled to accept Remy 700 mounts, so no problems getting bases! Ammo-wise I picked two weights; in 150-grain were PPU soft point and Winchester Power Max HPs and the heavier GECO 165-grain Express ballistic tips. Accuracy was good though not amazing and like the M12 the 101 showed a distinct preference.
The 150s were a bit disappointing shooting 1.5 - 2". I cleaned the barrel as it was fi lthy and tried again with similar results. Switching to the GECOs confi rmed my thoughts as groups shrank to an inch with a few going sub that. The M12 shot best with GECO 170-grain PLUS. However and in fairness I just picked three brands and two weights and like any rifl e it's down to you to see what it really likes as they all differ. Feed and function were 100%. At the end of the day I like what the Sauer 101 has to offer and would not be unhappy with one at all. The XT would be my choice due to its good stock and mad price. I think synthetics are best as you are not worrying about buggering up good wood, probably not a problem in this case!
Well made and shootable rifle at reasonable money given its pedigree
Safety a bit weird and could do with a larger ejection port
You won't go far wrong with a 101; get the XT and you can afford a quality base and ring set too!

Wikipedia : Sonia Gandhi Has Billion of Dollars In Swiss Bank Accounts
UPA Chairman and President of All India Congress Committee "Sonia Gandhi is around 9.41 billion dollars (345 crore to Rs 42) and 18.66 billion dollars (900 crore to Rs 83), the Swiss bank accounts, according to an article on Wikipedia.
If these reports are true then India is a bigger problem, you might have imagined. Since there are so many Indian politicians, who should be in Swiss bank accounts of the Bank.
Although 20% of them have bank accounts still have billions of dollars in India who are languishing in a Swiss bank.

This account can also be linked to contents in the book kgb State within a state ,by yevegenia albats (isbn o-374527385) which was written after much research in Russian archives.It is shockin to read how the money was given to polititians in exchange of award of certain favours/contracts.The rot had started from jeep scandal of 1948 and number of scandals soared to more than 205.Public is entitled to know the punishment awarded to these people and where the money has gone.we should all pledge to desseminate this information to all indians,support team Anna,Ramdev and similar people launch a vigorous campaign to put the culprits behind bars ! jai hind.

• Hello Enforcement Directorate (ED), you have started very good job after 63 years of independence. If you have time, also check why Sonia and family visit to SWISS and what happened to Bofors and so many other scams money done during Congress rule. FYI-Britishers were able to rule on India because of GADDARS. In modern India time-Some Govt. Agencies are doing that role.
• Question is not why Ramdev is being probed. Point is why this probing can't be done according to the priority based on time and magnitude involved. Why can't this ED probe Black Money and Corruption Issues effectively, in spite of Supreme Court asking and Indians are demanding? Answer is simple, Corrupt Congress wants to suppress such voices raising against them. CBI and ED like agencies are playing on Sonia's fingers rather than doing un-biased probe themselves. Of course, let Ramdev be checked but will ED probe Corrupt Congress Nexus after it? Do this ED has will power or soul to do such Patriotic tasks. I have big doubt about it? -

Boychuk on waivers??? (self.canes)
submitted 2 years ago by gregorkafka
Leaf fan here so I haven't seen much from Boychuk (since he won back to back golds with at the world juniors). Thought he was going to be a star in this league. His AHL numbers look pretty good.
Why do you guys think the front office soured on him? Was it just a roster spot issue?
[–]bryanwalsh 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (3 children)
They brought Nodl up. They put Boychuck on waivers with the intention of putting him back in the AHL.
[–]ronzeh 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (2 children)
I'll be interested to see if he clears this go around or not. I know he cleared waivers back before the lockout but I don't think any GM was going to be claiming anyone in the middle of that mess. Right now though you've got a couple teams that have some injury issues and Zach's an affordable gamble right now who'll be an RFA next year.
[–]A-Bear 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (1 child)
I've read speculation from a lot of teams this morning about Boychuk... I hope he clears, but there seems to be greater buzz this time around.
[–]gregorkafka[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Seems like a comparable situation to Hickey getting claimed by the Islanders from the Kings earlier in the season.
[–]gregorkafka[S] 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (2 children)
Looks like the Penguins claimed him.
[–]A-Bear 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Yup, link.
Hate to see him leave.
[–]ccarico 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I see this as a huge mistake on our part - I think the front office was not thinking this through clearly. He cleared waivers before the lockout and they thought they could do it again. I didn't really want to see him go, but with the injury bug going around on some teams if we could have gained something else from it then this could have been a great success and smart move on our part.
[–]ispoiler 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (2 children)
Chucky just never seemed to get it going on the NHL level. Kid was a beast with the Checkers but whenever he got the call up he had a little bit of deer in headlight syndrome and just never fit the system. In the grand scheme of things I dont think it will be a big loss for us BUT it sucks that we didnt get anything in return.
[–]gregorkafka[S] 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (1 child)
I'm guessing you guys don't miss Philippe Paradis much. We don't either.

Green Energy: A Breakthrough for Hydrogen Storage?
Technology from the Soviet space program adapted by Israeli and German scientists may offer a safe way to deliver the volatile gas to power laptops and cars.
Automobile companies are looking into producing Hydrogen-powered vehicles. BMW has poured millions into the project.
Israeli entrepreneur Moshe Stern admits he didn't know much about alternative energy when Russian scientist Evgeny Velikhov first approached him in 2005 about a novel technology for safely storing hydrogen gas. But four years later, the 62-year-old Stern has become an expert-and a believer. He is convinced that the Russian invention could play a major role in helping scientific institutions and industrial giants harness the commercial potential of hydrogen as a green energy source.
On Nov. 25, Germany's Federal Institute for Materials Research & Testing, released results of nearly two years of tests on C.En's technology, which involves the storage of compressed hydrogen inside bundles of thin, strong tubes of glass, known as capillary arrays. "The lightweight storage and safety factors give the technology a huge commercial potential for a whole range of industries," says Kai Holtappels, who heads up the working group at BAM that has been testing the technology since February 2008.
The timing couldn't me more fitting, as hundreds of delegates, scientists, and world leaders gather in Copenhagen for the UN Conference on Climate Change to discuss how to reduce carbon emissions and support eco-friendly technology.
Batteries for Electronics
A team of scientists first invented the capillary array technology at Moscow's Kurchatov Institute for use in the Soviet space program. Stern thinks his system can be adopted by the electronics industry to replace conventional batteries in portable devices such as laptops and mobile phones. He and C.En's chief scientist, Dan Eliezer, already have begun meeting with potential corporate customers. "We're planning to license out the technology on a company-by-company basis, with the first agreement during 2010," says Stern.
The automotive and aerospace industries could offer even bigger opportunities. Hydrogen-powered vehicles have long been explored as a means to reduce pollution and curb Western dependence on imported oil. Germany's BMW and Japan's Honda Motors have poured hundreds of millions of dollars in recent years into developing hydrogen-fueled cars.
The challenges of using hydrogen, though, have always been the size of containers needed to store the volatile gas and the risk of explosion. C.En claims to have overcome those problems with its leakproof capillary arrays. "Glass has proven to have three times the storage capacity at only a third of the weight of steel containers that are now commonly used for hydrogen storage, and it's far cheaper," says Eliezer.
Outside experts are impressed at the potential, but are taking a wait-and-see attitude. "If C.En's capillaries can withstand the external pressure, the technology could be practical in vehicles and electrical devices," says Yoel Sasson, a professor of applied chemistry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, who notes that another critical factor will be the cost of producing the capillary arrays.
Worldwide Investors
C.En was founded in 2006 by Stern, who serves as its chief executive. The Kurchatov Institute will be paid royalties as the original creator of the technology and Velikhov has been appointed honorary president of the company. Over the last two years, the company has raised $25 million from investors in Israel, the US, Russia, South Korea, Japan, and most recently from Italian insurance giant Assicurazioni Generali -- all of whom are betting that Stern can turn Velikhov's original idea into a winner.
Of course, the issue remains how users will obtain cheap sources of hydrogen, which despite being the most plentiful element in the universe is frustratingly rare as an available gas. Some progress is being made on that score. In March of this year, German engineering and gases giant Linde revealed that it had developed a process for sustainable production of hydrogen from glycerin, a by-product of biodiesel refining. And startups such as Silicon Valley-based Bloom Energy are working on fuel cells that can create hydrogen from water and solar energy.
Developments like these could boost C.En's prospects. If Stern and Eliezer's technology proves viable in commercial applications, the entrepreneurs would be on their way to transforming the global energy picture-and finally harnessing the potential for hydrogen as a major fuel source

back to crack repair and concrete resurfacing surfacing page)
Homeowners can now have a sigh of relief. Poured in concrete foundation cracks can be fixed permanently* without the need for expensive & time consuming exterior excavation. Low pressure polyurethane or epoxy foam injection is a practical and inexpensive solution for many typical shrinkage cracks.. With a 1% callback rate & 99% success rate of fixing the crack problems injection has been an accepted method of filling cracks. Almost all foundation repair contractors are switching to injection technique because it is-Cost effective-Reliable-Permanent* (polyurethane-epoxy foam injection procedure) Block Wall Foundations
Construction block foundations have mortar around every block making hundreds of joints which can lead to leaking. Construction blocks are hollow which means they can fill with water. For these reasons, if you have a finished basement, or planning to build a finished basement, we recommend you always repair it. There are only two repairs available to fix this problem. You can do an exterior repair or an interior, both repairs are good but we usually recommend a French drain that is installed from the inside.
The French drain is a much less expensive repair then outside system. You are guaranteed to solve two problems simultaneously. This system will deal with water coming through the wall and up from under the floor. With the more expensive exterior repair, you are often only successful in waterproofing the wall but not able to improve the drainage. Reason for this is because the weeping tiles around the rest of the house might be plugged, damaged or nonexistent and you would still not be able to control the water from under the floor. With the French drain we are actually creating a new drainage system inside and under the floor. This will control the water coming through the wall. We never have had a problem with this repair.
What we do is chip up the floor along the leaking wall. We dig a trench and install a modern 4 inch perforated weeping tile and cover it with gravel. Holes are drilled in the bottom course of block to allow the water to drain out. A waterproof membrane is installed over the trench and up the wall as water diversion system. The weeping tile is routed into a sump pump. If there is not an existing sump pump we will supply, install and plumb one for you. We warranty this for life (excluding the sump pump-its warranty is usually 1-3 yrs).
Hydraulic pressure* is a common problem, that is a result of a collapsed or plugged weeping tile or no weeping tile or sump pump installed at all. This will prevent water from being taken away from under the house. To repair this problem of a wet basement - a new weeping tile or o-pipe-perforated is installed either inside or outside often in conjunction with a sump pump-sometimes called a french drain. Our most common weeping tile installation is an interior repair called a French drain.
The floor is broken up along the leaking walls and a trench is excavated. A Four inch perforated weeping tile is placed in the trench and covered with clean gravel to help with drainage. All excavated materials are removed from the site.
A Delta or Platon waterproof membrane is installed to cover the wall and travels under the floor connecting with the weeping tile. The drainage system is routed to a sump pump which carries the water away from the house. New concrete is poured to repair the floor. The same results can be achieved from outside but the cost is considerably higher and not usually our first recommendation.
*Hydraulic pressure is water pressure forcing water up through the basement floor due to outside drainage water pressure coming down the outsides of your foundation wall-this downward pressure of draining surface water from e.g. spring rain falls or winter thaws -this forces water up through the floor-the opposing pressures try equal out.
If we have to repair from the outside or exterior-this type of repair requires excavating along the outside of the leaking wall or structure exposing the wall from the top down to the footing. After the wall has been cleaned and repaired, a waterproof membrane is installed to cover the entire wall. This system will prevent water from being in contact with the wall, and will solve the problem permanently. A short slideshow on an exterior membrane install-repair. *Cracks in poured concrete walls that are larger than 1/4", cracks which are increasing in size, or cracks which are otherwise indicative of foundation movement should be evaluated by a professional.Before repairing a foundation crack it is important to diagnose the cause of the crack and its effects on the building structure. The significance of any foundation crack depends on the crack's cause, size, shape, pattern, location, foundation materials, extent of cracking, impact of the crack on the building, and possibly other factors as well. If there is an underlying ongoing problem causing foundation movement or damage, that problem needs to be corrected too. With a 1% callback rate & 99% success rate of fixing the crack problems injection has been an accepted method of filling cracks. Almost all foundation repair contractors are switching to injection technique because it is-Cost effective-Reliable-Permanent*
stage 1 Seal the surface-Use a 2 part epoxy adhesive to seal over the surface ports and exposed cracks. The paste cures in about 20 to 45 minutes to provide a surface seal with excellent bond characteristics that holds up under injection pressures. The entire exposed crack is covered with the paste, leaving only the port holes uncovered.

For any sort of steel cutting my preferred method is to use my 4.5" hand-grinder with a very thin cutting blade (I think they're 1/8"). It'll cut thru just about anything including EHS guy cable (very hard) in seconds. Second is an aggregate steel cutting blade in a Skilsaw/circular saw and you probably already have one.

mooli paratha is a very common breakfast in north indian houses. its not only simple, but tastes great as well. though, i never tried it with curd as a mixing ingredient. will surely give a try n let you know....
05/07/2009 - 09:15
This sounds really good.. Aren't there many more varieties of these type of parathas... I had aloo parathas a few months ago and I loved it!! Couldn't you post some more of such paratha recipes!
05/07/2009 - 20:04
I have tried this mooli paratha at one of my friends and it tasted so good. I liked the way mooli is grated in to fine bitable pieces, the feeling was simply great! Mooli when eaten raw leaves some sort of burning sensation, but when made into paratha is just awesome! Well, the one I tasted was a lil more on the spicier side; my friend had powdered Kashmiri chilies too added - And I love spicy stuff!
Well what can I best serve this dish with - dahi alone or may be some pickle rite?
05/09/2009 - 09:08
The mooli paratha is great with dhaniya chutney and even mint chutney... though i have to use ketchup at times when dhaniya chutney is not available :(
05/10/2009 - 20:14
Hi Sarita, I tried making this, but the parathas tend to stiffen or harden after making. Do i need to add some softening agents in the dough mix before preparing the paratha and leave it for sometime to set? I though I would try adding some yogurt, will that help?Please let me know
05/15/2009 - 20:03
Yes Sarita. I have heard and read it somewhere that you need to cover the prepared parathas in a cloth so that they remain moist! Would that help in any way? Also, another things I wanted to ask you about Mooli - when raw raddish tends to leave a sort of burning sensation in your tongue. So when made into paratha I think mooli probably wouldn't have that taste right?
05/17/2009 - 01:08
i just love these paratta varieties - however radish is not my pick, wondering whether I can substitute boiled-n-mashed potatoes and try this paratta.. will come out well rite?

Lower Grill Expanded Metal Insert
I was able to make an aluminum lower grill insert fairly easily.
The toughest part was removing the bumper cover, but that is comparatively quick and easy. I purchased a sheet of 3/4" expanded aluminum from a local truck body shop. Cost about $35 for 3'X3'. I chose aluminum because it would be lighter, easier to bend, less likely to corrode quickly, and strong enough to offer some radiator protection. Measuring the lower grill opening and the angles I came up with a pattern. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps945ba9ef.jpghttp://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...psa037ef46.jpg 36" in length, 4" top section,' 4.5" middle section, 1" lower section. Upper angle approx. 140 deg., lower angle approx. 40 deg. Primed, painted, clearcoat. Would work easily with bedliner or any paint. The insert fits into and around the lower opening and was secured with ss bolt and nylock nut and washer above insert. This will not work with a front receiver and it was secured in a similar fashion from the bottom in that case. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...psb8023fdd.jpghttp://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...psb6c77a7b.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps8b2af758.jpghttp://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...psfd828b9e.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps101e56b6.jpghttp://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps9085a30e.jpg The aluminum is easily trimmed with snips to allow clearance for tow hooks or matrix fittings. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps7002ed5f.jpg Sorry the light is not good and the photo's don't show the insert well, but as it is Dark Khaki, it is hard to see here. Good luck.:thumbsup: TC |
looks good!!
Tip of the hat to you sir.
Where did you get the expanded sheet from? |
Nice job! :thumbsup:
The local Lowes had no idea what I was looking for. I purchased it at a local Truck Fabrication shop, named J&J Truck Bodies. Try your local shops that use these products, farm supply, etc. TC |
Thanks for that mod!
I will be doing this and glad you did it that way. I started to look into it but no time to take the cover off and explore. |
I came across this on the expanded sheet grille thread. Do you have any better pictures of how this is attached?
Lol I was just looking at this earlier too and was wondering the same thing.
It is secured with nuts and bolts through the upper fascia.
I drilled two holes in the upper lip of the bumper cover as you can see in some of the photo's. The profile of the metal bends under the opening at the bottom and is bolted above the opening at the top. If you look carefully at the photo's you can see the two bolts and the lim in the metal going underneath the grill opening. I hope you can see it. Even after snipping out parts for the tow hooks, the metal was still very secure. TC |
The time now is 10:12 PM. |

KMOV-TV reported that Michael Antonio Perez, of Chesterfield, was accused of first-degree burglary, misdemeanor stealing and felony stealing after the weekend Wildwood break-ins.
Police said Perez was arrested when he showed up to sell the stolen items he listed online. A subsequent search of Perez's home turned up cash, jewelry and electronics, according to police

Hobbykins sell the spinner your after... Turbo spinner.. |
Thanks much for your input! ~S*H |
You sure that applies here, or is that just a guess?
I know it's usually seen as 'CAD/CAM' (worked in the environs for many years) but even so, fail to see the specific connection with these props. I've also seen 'Competition Altimeter for Models' as relates to ALES (Altitude Limited Electric Soaring) and while potentially related to CAM, it also doesn't satisfyingly bridge the gap. Gotta mean something else!! |
Well alrighty then!
Still don't see how it applies to a prop tho, unless maybe they made the mold(s) with CAD/CAM, or maybe CNC'g the spinners. +++ BTW - re all the talk about the P2K's weaknesses & shortcomings, junk motors & ESC's, overheating, etc. Turns out my club's training officer has a P2K....brought it out to the field & I got to watch about 30 minutes of sheer fun! Pretty stiff winds, especially aloft....he launched & it climbed like a jet, followed by some pretty crazy aerobatics - rolls, wingovers, loops inside AND out - he really wrung it out for me. Needless to say he is very skilled - usually flies 3D & Pattern; been flyng RC for about 45 years, and has nothing but praise for the Phoenix. And it's BOX STOCK!! Motor, prop, ESC, everything. Hasn't even changed the clevises!! (Tho he agrees they're junk, & said if one breaks he plans to change both those and the tail pushrods.) Even after watching many P2K's in videos, gotta say I was kinda surprised how fast it is! That thing got UP there, QUICK! I guess it goes to show, you rarely hear from the folks who get 'good ones'....& more usually just those with complaints. *LOL* I'll be starting my build early tomorrow, in hopes of flying at our Club Meet Sunday. I just hope it turns out near as well as his! Clear Skies! ~S*H |
Another couple of flights today with the new upgraded motor:
TURNIGY AerodriveXp SK-3530-1100kv / 335W Very impressed with how cool this motor comes in after some reasonably hard flying. The original motor would have melted the front of fuse! This one came down barely warm. For those looking for an alternate motor DO consider this one! |
That's exactly the case. Graupner uses CAM to make a "perfect" propellor, afterward they CNC the blades. I think they use it for the molds.
I'm in final steps of assembly in hopes of getting 'er maidened today & ran into a problem. Hope someone sees this quickly & can give me an answer:
What's best way to get a servo out of the wing??? I've got one that in neutral or mid-position (on servo tester) is about 2 notches off-center, & I need to move the arm to center in neutral so it'll match up with the other wing's. Can't get at it with the screwdriver until it's removed, ergo, I'm as stuck as it is! |

servo removal
Thanx BlueG, I used that - the screwdriver 'prybar' method, from a tip in another forum. Thanx BO and Invenex for your suggestions too.
I have a plastic ruler with a raised 'gripper bar' down its center - used that for a fulcrum & to spread the pressure as evenly as possible over the wing & keep from making a dent. Applied (as suggested) "persistant pressure" & it started cracking loose, then suddenly let go, coming out clean with minimal foam damage - only a few flakes still stuck to the servo. For anyone interested, another part of the tip suggests first wrapping the servo with blue painter's tape - makes future removals easy w/o foam damage. Center a pea-sized glob of hi-temp hot glue on the servo, quickly pop it into place & hold pressure for a few secs for the glue to set -- good to go. To remove, pour some slightly less than boiling water over it; softens the glue for easy removal. Didn't get to maiden the P2K today....first I dropped a screw (the only one like it in 12 surrounding counties, don'tcha know) and spent over an hour crawling around on the carpet sweeping with a magnet....finally found it about 15 feet away from where I dropped it! Incredible how tiny things can bounce, innit? THEN, thought I's gonna make it to our club's field late but still time for a short flight, and during pre-flight discovered I had a bad elevator servo that'd only move in one direction. Hadn't brought any spares so in a pinch swapped it with the rudder servo, but by time I'd finished it was too dark to go up. ♫ Tomorrow, tooo-morrowww, there's always tomorrow.....♪ |
Considering that excessive motor heat is apparently an inherent problem with the stock-configured P2K, and other 'hotliners' as well due to the development of 'turbo' style nosecones, I'm wondering if anyone has thought to make their own open-nosed spinner & try it.
The plastic spinner should be easy enough to either bore out a hole or cut off the tip, & I'm planning to do just that -- modify the supplied spare spinner cone -- unless someone can give me a reason (ie bad results from) to not do it. I plan to run some test flights with the un-mod'd cone, swap to the mod'd 'turbo' cone & repeat. I've got an EagleTree Systems data logger with Brushless Tachometer and 2 temperature sensors which I normally run on the ESC & LiPo. It'll be interesting to see what difference the open-nose version will make. But first, due to the spin of the rear surface of the P2K's motor I'll need to order one of the loop-type sensors so I don't get wires tangled in the motor. Anyway, thought I'd ask has anyone tried this? |
Used the right way with very little modding it's a great glider ... As a sloper it's even better,once you sort the clevises and dont use or remove the motor . . Where did you get the idea that the Phoenix was a hotliner ? ? Warmliner maybe . . I have a Multiplex Blizzard , now thats a HotLiner , the Phoenix is and never will be in the same class . . |
