Thanks that gives me a good enough idea of the sort of angle just need to decide on what motor to use next. -

Ive done a scaled down version mine comes out at 66% giving me a 60" wingspan, I will be putting a power pod on it, is there any info about how to attach the wings to the fuselage? I'm looking at having them removable. -
Hi Rich, Yes it does but as you probably know, videos like that don't really show the true speed but it certainly gives you an idea, I'm itching to build another one of your designs.

I'll try & post up the link via a different method, I didn't get to fly it as the weather here want favourable, it's just a short video showing the spin up.Edited By nigel simkin on 14/12/2014 21:12:47

how do I upload a video I've taken on my phone please.

Here's what I've come up with, its the Pre-rotation unit for the Auto G2.
-
I'm pleased to above I've successfully fitted a pre-rotator to my atom & it works. I'll post a photo of it shortly & hopefully get a small video of it tomorrow in the daylight.
-
As our flying strip is not very long, I'm going to attempt to add a pre rotation unit to it & see how it goes, work will commence later today, I'll let you guys know how I get on.

Chris I flew mine initially on the replacement wooden blades for the auto G2 (cut to same length etc) & she flew fine.
-
If I make the gap 14mm then I will only have this small section (the black triangle on photo) touching the blade holder is this correct?
