Using 6 inch Guillows prop with 30 inches of 3/16 rubber, a single 15 inch loop. With a 1/32 shim for right hand thrust model does 90 foot right hand circles. 900 turns is good for 45 seconds flying time. . |

| Well 750 turns was around 30 to 40 seconds. A ramp style free wheeling prop will not free wheel with braided rubber. That along with damp air tends to keep flight times down. It also helps if you use removeable landing gear. |

| I hear those Lancers REALLY GO !! How long were your flights? |

| I really like that Winding Stooge - it looks like it was pretty humid and sagging the tissue - very humid here also - as soon as I step outside the tissue sags and droops, and my Air Camper will not even hold level fllight. |

| That was at Patriot Park just south of Michigan City Indiana. It is the largest open public area i could find around here. There are a number of large open fields , but they are private . |

| Where do you fly Donkill? It looks like a big park. There are no rc planes or rc drones allowed in our Jackson Park. A guy was flying a huge drone at dusk with several underside navigation lights, 300 feet in the air, and filming the sun,stars, etc etc, to send away the film for analysis (amateur astronomer) - told me he wasn't allowed by law to fly above 100 feet. Then the "Auxiliary Police" showed up - I high-tailed it out of there with my Cabinaire when I saw them coming - they talked to him for a long time - kicked him out - don't know if he got fined or not - there are real planes, 500 feet above ground level, flying to and from the airport over Jackson park in Windsor, Ontario. |

| I just made it from aluminum channel and 1/8 inch plywood. The rubber is two strands 15 inches in length or one single 15 inch long loop. The 600 series Guillows Lancer has a 24 inch wing span. Next time out i am going to use a 4 strand 1/8 inch motor about as long. This model is a bit under powered with the single loop. |
| LASTWOODSMAN, Comment for image # 38950 | 28 Jun 17 16:01 |
| And what is the wingspan on this? |
| LASTWOODSMAN, Comment for image # 38950 | 27 Jun 17 19:48 |
| Great idea for a winding stooge donkill! I like the rear uprights to hold the rear motor pegs of different sized models. Looks like that plane could fly forever! I don't know the lingo, but I am assuming a "single loop of 15 inches" = 30" when stretched out straight- is that right ? |

I added 1/32 of down thrust and a trim tab to the rudder to give it some right hand turn. |
| bsadonkill, Image # 38951 | 27 Jun 17 16:05 |
Model flew straight and level below 400 turns. |
