Sounds good to me, we will take anything. I love that cover photo. You have to get another one with the Dalton, only belly in so we can see the tailwheel.

Thats not too much to ask is it?

Thats funny, John!!!! HAHAHA!!!! That is a rarity in itself!!!! I guess it was a good thing that Mark Fadley was there to take pix at the XFC!!!

The Xoar 30x12 ENP showed up today. Incase some of you don't know what the ENP stands for, it stands for "Eagle Nose Prop."

Basically, it is a wooden prop, with a Carbon fiber tip that is glued onto the prop. It is all sealed up, and virtually no seam line between the 2. A very nice prop, IMO!!!! I know when Hahn had one on his DA 150, it brought the engine to LIFE!!!! The 30x12 is the PROP to run on a 150 class engine!!! No matter what!!!!

So, off to the dungeon of doom to clean up and get the Dalton in there and get a prop drilled!!!!

I hate balancing props!!! Just so ya know!!! I've given up for the nite...................

I can get the blades balanced 3-9 o'clock. But as far as 12-6 o'clock, the prop slowly rotates towards the 1 o'clock position, and then to about 130-2 o'clock. No matter how much weight I put on the light side of the hub. I've tried to sand a little on the heavy side of the hub, and more weight on the light side..... Still slowly drifts towards 1:00. I've got fuzzy velcro on there, as well as CyA AND clear spray!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Like I said before, I'm done for the nite..........

I know why I'm having issues..... I'm not drinking Bud Light!!! I done all 3 of Hahn's Fuchs props in 1 nite, by drinking beer!!!! That was 2 33x10's and a 30x11. All 2 B's.

Are you cursing yourself while you are trying to balance it? Might be the hot air flowing....LOL

[Bunky F. Knuckle]

I must be getting your hot air over here, Fick!!!!!

Decided against working on the prop last nite, for fear of health reasons to it!!! HEHEHEHE!!!

I did mount the ign sw, and finish up the batteries, minus plugs on the main packs. And then comes the TW set up!!! Got some good pix, and some that hopefully will end up on John's site.

[Bunky F. Knuckle]

Here are some pix from the TW set up with Akky-batical Concept springs!! Hope John uses a couple on his site!!! And yes...... The TW is drilled wrong into the fuse...... Lightly angled.....

Couple here drilling the prop, and then finish building batteries and shrinking!! Nice little action sequence there! My g/f enjoys the Nikon D40X I bought her!!!! We still need to get some enhancement filters for it.

I've wanted a Dalton 300 for a long time....I was really thinking about getting that one when I saw it listed. Glad it is going to go to someone who will fly the crap out of it..

[Bunky F. Knuckle]

Yes, genious!!!! I'm talking about the D40X................

I do plan on flying the BEJEESUS out of it!!!! I'll PM ya........... when I get home from work......

[Bunky F. Knuckle]

I always seem to get mine a bit crooked as well. Should be no problem.

If you ever need to redo it, a cool tip is to CA a white nylon bushing like you get from home depot in a chunk of balsa and glue it in the inside the fuselage for the wire to go up in. It never wears and holds it straight. Only issue is that you have to have access to the inside of the plane.

I snagged a few photos and put them on our Customer Gallery. When you have a RTF or inflight photo with our tailwheel I will swap it out with the one on there.

[Bunky F. Knuckle]

Cool, John!!! I'll have to take a look back at your site!!!!
