The prop that comes with the Gizmo Geezer front end is a Peck. Nice looking but not efficient enough for a somewhat overweight model. It would have worked if I had made serious attempts to lighten it. I should have gone with my first thought and changed it to an Ikara prop. The Czechs make really good rubber props. I'll finish it later, put on the the trim details and paint on the cowl, and change the prop. It will probably end up a 45 to 60 second flye, not contest material but a good, reliable sport model. jgood, Comment for image # 4399 09 Sep 07 21:37 Sorry to hear of the prop troubles Howard. Glad you were able to get some pics of the event though! hjlittman, Image # 4400 09 Sep 07 18:37 Jim Springer's Cessna 150 was second with a 76 second flight, on rubber. He backed it up with a 75 second flight. hjlittman, Image # 4399 09 Sep 07 18:36 Cessna 170 by "Stuka" Dave Gee on it's nose behind mine was winner with 77 second flight with Gasparin CO2 engine. 300 series Storch was also by Dave. I had prop troubles and finished last. hjlittman, Image # 4398 09 Sep 07 18:32 Close up shows Gizmo Geezer free-wheeling prop with adjustable hub. Formers scallopped between stringers where tissue does not need to be attached to insure smooth tissue, Wheel mounting is temporary. I just needed to get it flying Sunday morning.

Stab and rudder pinned down while shrinking to eliminate warps, Wing tissue shrunk with a 1/16 inch wedge under trailing edge of tip rib to build in washout. hjlittman, Image # 4396 09 Sep 07 18:26 Detail of nose modifications, Front of plastic cowl was cut off by rotating it, on it's back on the board, against an Exacto blade attached to a wooden block of the right height. Cowl front filled with balsa. hjlittman, Image # 4395 09 Sep 07 18:19 Wing reinforcements are lengths of bamboo barbeque skewers.

Please excuse low-res images. I had to resurrect an old camera. My Nikon was stolen. Build Thread, Page : [ 1 ] (9 posts, 20 posts per page, 1 pages in total)
