Hello everyone. I am building a Belair Nieuport 11 24" kit and bought the recommended motor which has a 1.5mm shaft. Recommended Prop is a 7x4 which I bought the master airscrews electric only prop. For the life of me I cant find an adaptor that goes down to 1.5mm motor shaft the ones that came with the prop are too big. Any advice or links welcome thanks Craig

Glad I joined the forum. Solid advice based on experience and totally free. thank You Gentlemen.

Gorgeous looking bike David.

I feel your pain David. I have scaled down considerably now to one of those little Royal enfield Classic 350's and I only go out on lovely sunny days!

Craig here. 62 semi retired. I live in Stockport area South Manchester. Completely bored with mundane TV programs I decided I wanted to do something more with my "down time" So I purchased a 1/35 scale plastic model WW2 vehicle kit and began my journey of building painting and generally being creative. After completing my first attempt and even doing a diaorama I was quite pleased with the result. What to do next I thought and as I have always had an interest in Aviation in particular WW1 and WW2 aircraft I thought I would build one of these next. However on my perusing of the WWW and various on line retailers web sites my fancy started to become tickled by the thought of actually flying something I built myself. So in my usual compulsive way I bought a kit thinking I'd learn to fly it afterwards. Yes Yes I know I already know now that I have gone about this in completely the wrong way but the deed is done and so contrary to all advice I will proceed with my build and then maybe buy a little RTF trainer aircraft of some sort and join a local (ish) club to continue my journey. According to google I think that Sale Model Flying Club might be the nearest to me. I opted for the Belair Kits Nieuport 11 24" wingspan model as I think Bi-Planes are a thing of beauty and I have been busy buying tools adhesives and stuff. All very exciting. I'm not much of a blogger or vlogger but I might post some photos of the various stages of the build etc. I am thouroughly enjoying reading the various posts in the forum and I am grateful for the resources and the time people take to offer advice and tips. thanks for listening. Craig (my forum name is due to my love of riding motorcycles by the way)
