Got it fixed folks _ check this out: Posted Image Took a bit of lateral thinking. but it works well and the plane is faster with these props at $3.78 for a pack of 6 instead of $4.00 each for the useless originals. :D Like the spinners though, looks good on the model. Tom. |

dont feel to bad about that prop removal procedure :D a few weeks back i was in the local hobby store and there was a focke wulf plane.. the brand excapes me right now.... but the whole prop assembly went on and as you tighten the final nut it compresses the assembly to the motor shaft.. well i put the plane together (pnp kit) and bound to the reciever... tested ailerons, check, rudder, check, elevator, check, throttle 50%, check, throttle 70%, the prop assembly comes off and leaves a very nice beauty mark on the wall in my rc room... oops. fixed that problem... next part of the story has to do with this... it was a 6ch plane for only $179 .. thr, ail, rud, elev, flaps, and retracts first time outside.. taxing down the runway.. and one of the retracts collapses... crap... got my glue and fixed that.. plug the battery back in... hit the throttle and prop spins for 3 seconds and the esc goes out... the plane never made it to the skies... instead back to the shop... i will find something worth flying next time.. and maybe i wont be so cheap cause i now know why the price was soo "great" for a good looking 6ch warbird.. haha |
