have you come up with your alieron trim yet skip. i am going to see if i can fit a light bungy cleat system like you described earlier. then a fixed tab for the rudder. the other option i have been thinking about is rc servo operated tabs a bit like ilevil tabs. very simple .

great videos.

They were popular and had a good rep. I don't know if they are still available. Pretty long in the tooth now. It would be interesting to know if it was the engine or the redrive.

Suzuki geo .1.3 Lt car engines are popular in gyros and some planes. They have been used for years. Proven very reliable.

The aircraft version is smoothed out by the counterweight

Hope I didn't offend you. I was joking

Probably the only way to get enough blade area to absorb the power. Imagine the size of a 2 blade on. 2000 HP turbo prop

these photos are off an old thread on this site

The one I saw a photo of was on a pod mounted electric motor that folded away behind the cockpit. Might have been a giant scale model too.

Yes , also used on motorgliders

always one smartarse. usually its me but you can have this one.😁

i agree nothing is perfect. but 912s are pretty close. and it is true bert used to fly up to my friend's place occasionally.

whats being mates with bert flood got to do with it. bert flood used to fly up to a mate of mines place occasionally so i guess he is an expert too. rotax 9 series are a fantastic reliable engine no matter how much you try to convince us they are not.

what is the best prop for cruise and top speed. i always believed 2 blades to be more efficent than 3 and 4 blades. i am talking fixed pitch or ground adjustable.

just read it. now i understand. when the plane in question was circling the maffra showgrounds a friend of mine was watching it with a neighbour and they both thought it was going to stall it was moving so slow. and then it headed off to tinamba . rip
