Hey guys.... Need help!

I am in desperate need of a Bolly 36x14 propeller. I can purchase it from you or make a direct trade for a new 37x13 wood propeller. I know some of you guys have a few of these laying around but I need to get another for testing purposes. Can anyone help me?

Hey Guys,

I am real sorry I haven't gotten the Realflight files out yet... I know it's been FOREVER ago that I promised them to you all. Life has just been pretty crazy lately (brain surgery a few months ago and now working LOTS of mandatory OT).. and whatever "hobby time" I have had has been spent in the basement trying to get the 41% Trueworthy Pitts I bought last winter ready to fly... I know I know.. the season is almost over... but anyway.

The files are all done... the only reason I haven't made them available yet is that I have been wanting to send out a nice set of written directions with them as to how to get them into the sim. This is because some people (like snap... the guy I really did the files for) are new to the sim and don't know how to do that part yet. I SHOULD (hopefully, fingers crossed) get some time this weekend to finally get these out.

I'll do my best guys... keep your fingers crossed and maybe send my wife an email telling her that I simply won't be able to do any "honey do's" this weekend! lol

See you all soon!

Scott

Hey Scott, Masterpieces take time to develop so don't worry. And Thanks a lot for your time on those awesome Snappyplanes!

Bill, I remember checking the CG by I don't remember where it was, here is what I did, I installed all equipment where it's supposed to go except for the 2 receiver batteries, I put them 12 to 18 inches behind the canopy.

I will check mine too next time I fly it but I can say that it is a little on the nose heavy side which is good for a model that size.
