Excellent. gutsy project and it lasted flight. Well done. I fly a 1960's build of the VooDoo with an Enya .29 on 60' lines, only a maniac would attempt an RC version. Nice!
nice video. im following your build of the Tomboy senior and I would like to know how to setup the controls for the IC engine. Unlike electric I dont see how to start and stop the engine remotely. I guess you can stop the engine by pinching the gas line but can you start it and/or control speed in flight?
Hi Jim, it all comes down to whether you engine has a rc throttle or not, if it does you can set the controls on the transmitter/reciver so that you can totally close the throttle, so stopping the engine. If no throttle, you either have to wait for the fuel to run out, so you would have a limited supply for the flight time you required, or you would have some other mechanism to pinch the fuel line or prevent air entering the venturi. Hope tht helps

Really a wonderful plane.
Thank you very much, so pleased you enjoyed the video, thanks for the comment
It certainly does fly very well. Maximum fun for minimum cost. 👍😆
Hahaha, absolutely, and you dare not take your eyes off it!!
Not everyone's cup of tea but you can't deny that if adrenaline is your thing and you want a reliable no frills model this fits the bill.
