    Pretty sure Chris showed the building of the vertical tail in his Ballerina build blog.

    The amount of info out there is quite impressive [if you know how to find it].

    Tim - He looks a good fit, what scale is he? Do you have any info on him?
  7. Steven S
    I still plan on building one and will be following your progress. I have my plans unrolled and will be marking them up with any hints you pass along as you do your build.

    Tim – have you done a preliminary C of G check yet? I assume the Tiger Cat’s long nose is really there to accommodate the nosegear, it will be interesting to see if you need it that long for locating the battery for a proper C of G.   I would like to have a short nose on mine, more like on the De Havilland Hornet. I like your choice of a 3 bladed propeller.  It looks like the Hornet used a 4 bladed one. Edited By Steven Shaw on 01/01/2018 16:19:58

    This Coverite trim sealing iron works well for me. Here's the **LINK**

    My last battery came with an adapter connector. It fit very tight and works for me. https://www.venompower.com/collections/battery-device-plugs Edited By Steven Shaw on 22/12/2017 18:02:49

    I never really paid much attention to them until I saw them on a model of a Zero the other day. Thanks for clearing this up.

    Could someone tell me what the significance is for the red outlines painted onto some warbirds? I have seen them on several models from Japanese Zeros to British and American fighters. I picked up this magazine the other day and may get the explanation next month, but thought I would ask here now.

    It is quite addictive isn't it. I've gathered quite a collection of props since I set up my test stand.

    Chris - It sounds like you are testing an 8x4, 3 blade prop. don't know why, but when I have compared 2 and 3 bladed props of the same diameter and pitch, the 2 bladed ones are always better, by about 20%

    I had no trouble with my servo tester. Complete control through the full RPM range. It's wired up as you see in the first picture and I've used it with both a 30 and 40 Amp ESC.

    BTW - this is the Banggood link **LINK** It's a well built piece of kit, but your homebuilt version will do just as well. As far as I can see the trust readings are good for comparing different prop outputs and the luggage scale should do that function just as well.

    It seems work quite well for comparing propellers in grams or ozs, but yours should also, maybe better, as you can test your luggage scale with a known weight. I get a good readout and can compare many props on the same motor, but have no way to know if the thrust reading [of 854 grams] is true. I run my different props on each motor and have set up a spreadsheet with the results. Edited By Steven Shaw on 02/12/2017 16:10:25

    Still here Chris. I was going to make my own test stand also, after reading the article in the magazine last year, but ended up buying these components from our friends at Banggod. I did make my own 3cell to 2 cell adaptor though.
