Del, it looks like we have another prop nut. There is propnut Prop Nut and prop_nut. I was confused with two so now with three I have to be extra careful!

hi guys...maybe i should change my handle eh?....will site admin let me?

ill email them..

my name is tim. i like to consider myself one of the bealmear mob...

the prop is 20 or 22 inch..ill have to check. the motor is a turnigy 5065-270 kv running at 6s lipo. predictions are around 40A maximum throttle...so around 900Watts max.

thrust should be around 1:1.

as its an ARF and built originally for glow, its very much overbuilt and overweight. the weight of the axle wing and battery access hatch is mind boggling!...

ill re-weigh it and get back to you.

this is a partnert in crime to the sopwith i finished some months ago.

Bealmear mob huh. lol:

Good to see you here Tim. Yes, I'd try and change the handle, you don't want to be associated with at least one of the Prop Nuts here.
(Just kidding David)

Now, if we can just get Russ on board.
