NEw life in the VFR- RC36TWIN

 AFter a long time- lots has happened in 7 years since I last update this!

 After selling my trx from my other blog I'm goin gback to the VFR. I have 4 now, 2 RC24 and 2 RC36's, I'm going to start again and with lots of spares create 2 rc36 twins. I'm not sure if anyone reads this stuff anymore, might go to videoing as that seems the place to be...dunno though

I'm going to create a twin, I already have enough bits to do this, I'll get out all the bits at some point and run through.

First thing is I have a spare engine and frame, Learnt lots of lessons from the last RC36 with stuck bolts etc. Removed the engine and frame from my spare which has been sitting in the shed for 10 years. Removed the special adjuster bolts that were seized - a common problem with the lower engine mounting.  Once out I did a general clean, scrape off old muck and then run a angle grinder and fiece brush over it, lots of brake cleaner.



rusted bolts- bit of home electrolysis to de-rust stuff - first test- will create a bigger system later.
