yes. The prop is a 28x10 3dB. and its a no limitz 4.5" sfiberglass spinner

Oilsands · 11-03-2008, 10:25 AM

Harv,
Did you remove the center post, I think it is called a spinner nut, from you engine or is that the way it came?

harv · 11-03-2008, 08:11 PM

No, i didnt remove the center post from the motor. The prop is unusually thick at the hub, so it reaches jsut above the post, and wit hthe backplate, it pushes it a even more past. Not a big issue though.

Oilsands · 11-03-2008, 11:11 PM

Just wondering, in the picture it looked like it was not there. Not an issue with these spinners as they don't require it.

Spent a hour or so today protecting the wood on the engine box and the cannister tunnel with "Balsarite"----no picture, just smell

Oilsands · 11-04-2008, 08:01 PM

With all these new builds going on, I can't wait to get mine and get started as well. Feels like a little kid waiting for Christmas day to come and be able to open up gifts. LOL. Lots of good ideas and tips being posted.

harv · 11-06-2008, 06:47 PM

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates. Ive just been really busy these last few days. Although i did manage to get a few things done.

The wings were pretty straight forward. There are 4 JR 8411's with swb(non double locking) servo arms. and 1 jr matchbox per wing. There isnt a fishing wire in the wing, so i had to tie a nut to the end of a string and add them in myself. There is no lack of throw and the control is very smooth.

There is plenty of room for installing equipment. As you will see in the picture i am using a single reciever setup.(r-149 DP)

I decided to go with a double servo for the rudder. The master servo(the one with the full arm, is a 2 inch hitec servo arm modified to be a 4 inch double locking. And i currently have a single sided hitec arm on the rear servo. All the rudder hardware is dubro(links, cables etc.)

Im using an 8411 on the throttle. Ill more in depth on that when i get to doing all the motor mounting and etc.

Wheel pants were a breeze. I did as it said in the manual(but i havent done that wheel pant mod though). I used a spare servo and put it on the back of the wheel pant so both sides would match.

I will get to mounting cannisters as soon as i get the motor mounted completely.

Also, i will be using a sullivan skywriter pump for smoke.

enjoy

Harv, I have a double Hitec servo arm you can have for your rudder setup.............I feel sorry for your pool table

Major_Smackdown · 11-06-2008, 08:12 PM

ha ! at least his pool table is getting some good use !

harv · 11-06-2008, 08:34 PM

That pool table is soo old its not even funny. Although when its clean it makes good competition against the parmanator .

CSpaced · 11-07-2008, 01:23 PM

Thats when a work bench is most happy, when its covered in airplane parts

regansm · 11-07-2008, 02:40 PM

Can anyone tell me the thichness of the Main Landing Gear? I'm hoping it is at least 3/16".

Shawn

Islandflyer · 11-07-2008, 02:58 PM

Shawn,

The main gear is 3/16".
I have done harrier landings, and have not bent the gear at all.

harv · 11-07-2008, 06:26 PM

The gear has got a nice spring to it. IT willl be good for cushining the landings.

harv · 11-08-2008, 05:55 PM

Thoguht you guys would be interested in seeing the 1-1/4 inch standoffs dad made.

There tooo good.
