Is there a radial engine out there that would fit in the cowl with the extra little bit of power to make simple aerobatics like hammerheads, teardrops, and humpty bumps look good? |

I finished my LA7 last week. Sorry no build thread but I will try to take some photos, and for any of you building one feel free to post your questions here and I will be happy to help.
Regards Al
I fitted an evolution 40 cc petrol engine. I can see its going to be overpowered so I will be using a fair bit of throttle and speed management. It fitted pretty well with only a small part of the cylinder head/ plug cap sticking out and the exhaust tubes. I am now waiting for some extra weathering work to be done and that should really bring it to life, then hopefully if the weather clears I can get some flights logged.

Anybody have any ideas on what electric motor to strap on to the La-7.
I was thinking along the lines of a AXI 5330-24

Cheers Ali will do that then... One thing looking at all my Ref material is how void of surface detail the real thing was / is and consequently how difficult it is to find any decent pics of one that has any weathering at all... Will have my work cut out with this and trying to do something with those huge wings.   Sure I will come up with something though/ Wayne |

Dont forget, the LA-7 was an all wooden aircraft, dont start rivet detailing the wings!!! i am asuming the wings would have been ply covered, these would have been nailed or glued on, or both, apart from gun hatches etc, there would not have been much detail, i would keep it to a general dirty wash, and exhaust stains, cant see there being much else,
do a google images search, there is about 20+pages

Cheers Al, Yep thanks ...I knew the Fuz was wood up to the cockpit but didn't realise the wings were as well.... I have loads of ref pics and books as well just didn't bother to read about how she  was constructed ...Cheers though... Wayne |

I though the big change with the LA-7 was that it had metal wings as opposed to the all wood construction of the LA-5....?

Indeed Martin some great shots and lots of info... Thats one of my ref sources I already have thanks BB-Q but it does confirm what Al was saying its all wood apart from the cockpit fwd. You can see on the wing shots where the covering and paint has crazed... Don't you just love the quality of work though?  (Not) Wayne |

I did some measuring last night.....
The diameter of the cowl opening is 148mm.
Looking at the Dave Anderson plans and scaling them to the correct size for the 148mm cowl diameter it looks like the correct diameter will be 111 mm. As usual we are between standard sizes! I will most likely go for the 115mm (4.5") spinner.
Now the shape........ Again it is neither a parbolic nor standard..... maybe parabolic will look the least wrong.
i want to make an recommendation to the designers/ manufacturers of these great scale kits.....
it cannot be that much more expensive to make these in equal quantities to the kits.
Please include a correct size and shaped spinners with all the models that require them. If somebody want to use something different then it is their choice.

I must admit, I do like the look of this model.
It look as if it is doing 200mph just sitting on the ground.
