Hi Guys, thanks for the replies.

The part was warped right off the board. It was, as I said earlier, weighted and pinned down to keep it straight. I had used Titebond because I wanted the part...

Hi Quikturn,
Thanks for the reply. I hadn't thought of the J'Tec. That's a good thought. Have you matched it up against the plans to see if it fits OK??? I like that idea.

What's a GE P-51???

Hi everyone,

I need a little advice. I'm starting my own TF P-51D (B-conversion) and have two engines available; a OS 95AX and a Saito 1.25. My preference is to go with the 95AX because it will...

Zor, I still believe in my definition about the cavitated air, so we can agree to disagree. My position is that a 2-blade, and even a 3-blade prop has the opportunity to move beyond the air...

One theory that I heard of for why 4-blade props aren't as efficient is that the prop blade is still not clear of the disturbed air from the retreating blade, i.e., it's in cavitated air because of...

I've run 3-blade props and didn't notice much change in HP. I don't know where I'd get a 4-blade prop that I could fit to the .125. I've never flown a 4-blade, either... All I know is what I've...

Thanks acdii,

Thanks for that information, Todd. I'll look into that Keleo exhaust. I'd prefer that to having a big exhaust sticking out of an otherwise nice cowl. I'm getting fiberglass fittings (cowl and...
