SXE10 wheel alignment

As my SXE10 Altezza had been operated on set-back error correction the other day, I did Zero thrust angle establishment early this morning as a pre-breakfast work. Considerable minus thrust angle was observed and corrected fairly. Minus 6,670 minutes angle value was the discrepant error on the thrust this time. As a matter of fact, 17,680 minutes angle value was applied as the rear total toe under zero thrust condition. I'll go on this adjusted and corrected condition for the time being as an Altezza driver.

SXE10 Altezza maintenance

Set-back error in SXE10 TOYOTA Altezza was corrected today, considerable value to plus direction was set into the original constructive position that has been moved intentionally last year. The character of steering reactions became far docile but right side running habit tendency was observed, wheelbase uniforming and thrust angle adjustment to zero would be the future tasks. Only 26,000km used Altezza is a new car for me that even pre-conditioning operation is not yet finished. The burdened Aishin 5 speed conventional torque converter system automatic trans-axle operates so smooth that is completely different from that had been in 20 years old BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model, JATCO made. Though exhaust note isn't so favorable as some European imported cars, the performance of YAMAHA 3SGE 2000cc motor gains 200HP at all with adjustable valve timing system, VVTi-2. This car would be my last one because it would last me till I go or more.

Happenings

My garage is provisionally occupied by a motor cycle belongs to my son, so cannot I move freely in the place. Because, the driver does not pay attentions not to 2 wheel cycles but only to 4 wheel cars as the oncoming vehicle, specific accident happens on the cross-section. It's very dangerous for him as to loose his life.  We hope him to stop riding on any 2 wheels vehicle ASAP.
VW Golf-7 GTI had been ordered by my son and OPEL B-Vectra, SUBARU Legacy LSi US model and SUBARU BRZ would be deserted very soon. Altezza would be used by myself.

A wild bird hit it's head on to the glass shield of my working place this morning and it lost itself for a while, distilling of water drop into it's throat made it possible to fly away again, the name of this bird was Bulbul.

The cause of unstable motor condition of Rookie 20 became clear after disassembling it's fuel tank thoroughly, yes the crack on the connective aluminum pipe was observed. Drifting high speed rotation of OS 32F motor had been brought by this fracture of a very important part of fuel supplying line. Let's see what will happen if this part was repaired. Motor condition plays 50% of the total performance of the model airplane as an OS engineer said before, as for my opinion, 90%?.  

These days

An Israel Bar and Restaurant had been opened at the place of OSAKA Umeda 3ird Station building's underground, I'll try soon. Exhibited National flag of the country reminds me of the Anthem, Hatikvah, also some sweet memories tens years ago.

Very calm and gentle slow time flows at Nara old city, so the atmospheric condition there is completely different from that of KYOTO. A relative of my friend opens Sabou(Tea Room) there and I make it a rule to visit her at least twice a year. She has some enough experience as a confectioner and she has some special feelings to make all the cakes to be served on the table by herself and no employment for the purpose.

Physical labor was done at Model Airplane Airport for the preparation of Air-Show being held next Sunday there. Runway maintenance was my business yesterday. Putting long nails at the end and corners of long and broad industrial mat that prevent the development of weed, 300 meter runway makes the pilots feel some sense of security. Not a few big model airplanes would participate in the show on next Sunday.

A tiny candle fire?

My son is going to desert SUBARU BRZ because of bad ride, he is suffering from hip and back ache after driving BRZ. I have realized that the result must be brought by too hard suspension both with shock absorbers and suspension coil spring. The air conditioning system is alive in BRZ, so I might try to continue by myself? My cars has no air conditioning system, air-cooled VW 1302 Super Beetle, BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model nor XH200 OPEL B-Vectra, all of the A/C systems are out of order and not repaired. It would not be too late to throw away BRZ after this Summer season utilizing it as my airplane carrier only for this hottest daytime use. Though I tried to start it this morning, it was impossible to do that because of the battery ruin. There are several wiring bone by my son, so any current leak must be happened just as same as B-Vectra. He must study that the electric circuitry is the most important for an automobile to be used with relief anytime wanted.
Replacements of axle construction shock absorbers and suspension coil springs into more comfortable ones must be indispensable if I keep it as my own car, SUBARU BRZ, 2m width main wing of Radio Control Model Airplane is the requirement?

Regular concert

Ashiya Symphony Orchestra 81st regular concert was held at KOBELCO hall in Nishinomiya Hyogo Prefecture Art and Culture Center last evening with success as usual. Their capability has come to the revel of professional ones, it a matter for appreciation because all the members are amateurs with another occupations promptly.
A famous Cello player, Ryoichi Fujimori was specially invited there and he actually played with clear and transparent crystal sound.
Subject performed last night was followings:
R. Strauss / symphonic poem "Amusing mischief of Till Eulenspiegel"
Yasushi Akutagawa /  for orchestra and cello  "Concerto Ostinato"
J. Brahms / No. 3 Symphony

Old YS 60SR Motors

Because the comment said it had been "NIB and ONS but some parts are lost", I made a bid on YS 60SR old motor, but the arrived one proved that it had been a white lie at all. A peeping from the plug hole should show and realize the stuck and clogged carbon on the piston top surface and this motor must have been operated by some less experience layman, according to the disassembling procedure, not a few inconvenient parts were found by an amateur fingered Chestnut Lane marks inside. Frontal and main bearing were set with metal sealing condition with the original hard grease packed, sealing cap constructions should be removed and they should be lubricated by circulating motor fuel, all the ill-assembled including the screws of different dimensions were corrected and cleaned thoroughly, in addition, catching  this opportunity, all the YS 60SR motors I'm keeping were maintained in the same manners as done on the newcomer. The free time afternoon on Saturday was spent for the purpose with a little fatigue. Development opportunities are the sake of completeness. Motors in good condition is a key to comfortable and enjoyable flight of Radio Controlled Model Airplane at all.
Sukhoi 31 is not finished for the flight, reinforcing on the center connection of the main wing requires special material, FRP, the kit was arrived the day before yesterday, so, today's task is the dusty chemical material using procedure.

I did enough!

As a task before breakfast, long continued suffering problem on the setback error in air-cooled VW Super Beetle 1302 was corrected. Unacceptable wondering habit by right side going potential tendency has disappeared thoroughly, obtaining the terminal 4 points for scaling is the critical key to know the rate of the setback error. Primitive but effective jig device was fabricated to adopt onto 4 hub outer points promptly. Recorded 4 points on the ground play terminal points to know the constructive geometry error. Actual measuring and acquired numerical datum obliged me to adjust the right sway bar bush holding blacked reposition backward 0,90mm. I wanna write down here again, there is no individual habit that cannot be correct in a passenger's car however long and persistent it has been drawn on the specific automobile.

KYOSHO Sukhoi Su-31 40 with 1380mm wing span had big operation to accept YS 60SR motor as a stronger power source. Span was increased 120mm into 1500mm and the tail moment has also 90mm extension. Time-consuming modification as it was, this Su-31 model airplane would fly as an old full sized one with a 10cc motor.

In order to prevent the influences on the Radio and Servos by the crank shaft's torsion and knocking vibration, some rubber insulator were applied between metallic engine mount and the wooden motor bed. The assistant while taking-off to bring the airplane to the run-way would feel the difference of the vibration. The compliance for the mechanical and destructive vibration of the combustion motor would play a good part of our hobby life.

Sensitivity on my thumb figer tips

My storage of F3A hobby 30 years ago has been revived on the tips of my thumbs gradually these days and some desire comes up in my mind to get into a regular F3A aircraft for the competitions. Consequently, I'm going to desert trainer models like Rookie20, Rookie10, but the fixation of YS fuel pressure system is not well done, this research should be continued and be finished as the things with the real result. The goal is visible.
Right side rolling axis on Yoshioka Pegasus 40 Acro was corrected yesterday, aileron differential function in FUTABA 10J 2,4GHz S-FHSS system make it very easy and no mechanical linkage adjustment is not required like 30 years ago.
Found out I some specific motor character in OS 40LA like Fox 35 Stunt model for control line field, with four stroke driving on horizon flight and 2 stroke combustion begins when upright, this is convenient tendency to make maneuvers.
I will go on my hobby on the steps rather than push forward at once, probably Sukhoi 31 would be the first as a stunt training model, Majestic 40, Astral X60, Sonic　Acro 160 would follow in future. All of the power sources would be 2 stroke YS motors.
