Sung Kim's "everyday"
FIREBIRD.
And here is
another outstanding finish by Brian K Mariani on Sung Kim's other
FIREBIRD.
They call
this "The Phoenix".

We are pleased to announce that the
new Multiplex Rhino Digi-4 servos, arms, and mounts are now available.
These parts are designed for heavy-duty applications requiring power and
holding strength. The servos are somewhat larger than standard sizes and
feature an extremely large and tough gear set.

TAPERED FILL
ADAPTOR WITH MINI-COIL
A simple but
effective way to couple your air pump to the 1-Way fill valve. Just push
the tapered nylon fitting into the valve to create a temporary seal. The
line automatically recoils, stays neat and out of the way. Available in
red, green, or yellow.

JMP’s HUSTLER 100 oz. CENTER
FUEL/SMOKE TANK
This
custom fiberglass tank will deliver either turbine engine fuel or smoke
fuel engine. A JMP Accumulator is embedded into the tank to save
valuable fuselage space and deliver a bubble free fuel supply to the
engine or smoke pump. The center baffle controls rapid fuel weight
shift. A machined aluminum truss provides for easy mounting in the
Hustler airframe or other similar model designs. This JMP fuel tank
comes fully assembled and leak tested for the perfect fuel delivery
system.

Great Britain's Colin Gardner at
Abingdon, U.K. with his JMP
FIREBIRD.
"There
was about a twenty knot wind blowing that day but
it didn't seem to worry the Firebird. Out of fifty-odd models
only five flew."

In 1986, I was
privileged to be able to ride with Lt. Col. Wayne Yarolem of the Indiana
Air Guard in an F-4 Phantom. This event was chronicled in the December
'86 issue of RC Modeler. The person who orchestrated this was Mr. Merv
Crowder of Terre Haute, Indiana.
I was
recently contacted by Merv, and we discussed creating a website
dedicated to the story. Follow this link for the "Ride of His Life"
and some great F-4 video:

For a person who
loves jet aircraft, this is absolutely one of the most exciting events
that can occur in one's life. I am pleased to be able to share it.

JMP Custom Thermocouple for
AMT Engines
The
photos below show the JMP Custom Thermocouple. This thermocouple assembly
is designed specifically for AMT engines to replace the stock temperature probe
that has long been supplied. The new design cleans up the side of the engine and
in many cases makes the close fitting turbine cover an easier fit. Just drill a
hole in the turbine bypass and pull the mini plug through to clear the flow
path. These assemblies are a K type thermocouple with a machined Inconel
mounting base.
Installation:
A ¼”
hole is drilled into the turbine engine exhaust nozzle. The approximate position
is shown in the photos. Remove the thermocouple mini plug and pull the wire
through from the inside of the nozzle into position. The hex nut will hold the
assembly in place. Re-install the plug and the installation is complete.
#T-1 has a 12" protective stainless overbraid with a mini thermocouple
plug installed. (An EXT-3 extension wire cut to a specific length will
be needed in most installations to reach the ECU)
#EXT-3 extension wire with plugs installed can be ordered to a specific
length.
Prices: #T-1: $50.00
#EXT-3: $12.00
