We had a little problem with the landing gear on his big Mulligan or it would have flown but I’m pretty sure it will be fast with its thin wings.
TimD what prop are you using and what RPM are you seeing on the ground/air?
My FG84/Keleo is modified by Ray English and turns a Xoar 24x14 at 7400rpm in the air. It’s in a Top Flight Corsair and weighs about 27 pounds dry. Just for comparison...
The Mulligan has a 100 inch span and has the 90 in it.

Solved my overheating problem with this muffler wrap from Summit Racing.
By the way, I measured the clearance in my cowl. My spark plug caps have a 17mm clearance on one side and 13mm on the other. My plug caps both fit in the air channel blisters on either side of the cowl.

Hi Guys,
just picked up this plane and starting the build. Thanks for what is a very informative stream. I am at the point of attaching the Sierra main retracts. Does Darryl make a conversation wood kit for the mains? I thought I remembered someone had mentioned that.
Thanks
John

We are actually using our 1/4 Scale FW-190 Retracts for this plane.
They used really long struts just like the Full Scale.
We made a slight Modification to the side plates to make them fit the plane better.
We are starting to ship them this afternoon
Better get your orders in now while we still have a few in stock.

Sierra retracts are a drop in fit it’s just that the rails in the plane need shims as described earlier by wingspar. DrScoles made a comment that a conversion kit was available? If not, not a big issue just build it up like wingspar did. Thanks again to everyone for a very informative thread!

I have looked at the site but there are 1/4.5 and 1/4 and Im not sure which set work for the toprc arf. I thought that maybe its the 1/4 size with the 6" wheel that was my question. Thanks for the assist.

Darrell from sierra said in his post that they are using the 1/4 scale gear for the Toprc fw190 so it the 1/4 or the 1/4.5 gear that are needed. I have the retracts for a vailly fw and the kit but I am wanting the arf for me thanks.

Send Darrell a email, I'm sure he will get the right set to you.

Hello Guys,
Just wanted to let you know that I am up and running again in case someone needs a fan that fits the toprc Spinner backplate an toprc cowling.
I have made a special jig to ensure they are a perfect fit.
