Video of the above commentary. It flew for about a half a second, at least.........LOL!

is prop blowing air rearward? prop correct way with numbers on forward? and motor running correct way vs. prop rotation? and is it easy to roll on ground, not binding by the wheels?

Would a low battery still let it roll on the ground? Or no? If yes, then I must've put the prop on backwards. Remember: It flew off my desk faster than a bullet, so I know everything is working right.

with the power you had in the video, it should rolled. perhaps not as in the end, but earlier.
If wheel are "stuck", normally it would tipped over(or tried to) though.

In my testings of a plane, i take it out the lawn, at a place with medium height grass, Can it move, superb , if stuck, just tipping forward/rearward, i know forward moving power is ok, just not correct surface for the plane. Our airfield is quite nice cutted low, or i can also easy take out the lawnmover tractor, and cut it even more. Or even roll out a length of plasticgrass. who is superb for any plane/small wheels)
On asphalt every plane with wheels should roll easy. Dont need full power either

Wheels are awesome. You can lightly blow on them & they turn. I'll check the prop & see if I inadvertently put it on backwards.

take a look on this. The plane have selfmade wheels with bushings from pop-nails. weights approx 700g (?)with a 2200 3S battery.. Power more than enough though... i did put in a 2212 motorlaying around not used, a 2208 eg would be enough. 10" prop, 8 or 9" would also fit. a 8" on the 2208 . but look how easy rolls, and the movement when holding in one wing, and gives power. With a smaller motor, i wouldnt be fully alike, but anyway something similar perhaps not as "quick" moving.

Excellent. Even the slightest throttle moves the plane. I'll check my propeller today.

together with rotation on motor vs prop ;-)

I filled the virtual skies with WW1 aircraft. Now I will do it in the real world!

ACHTUNG!!

I found CW props in a Power Pack F.......



(EDIT: Yes, I know I ordered some, but these came right out of the Power Pack F box)

 

[Baron VonHelton]

Never underestimate the destructive power of these power pack motors!! You do so at your folly!!

[Baron VonHelton]

Is it normal for props to come loose like that & just spin freely??

Nope

 

[Matthewdupreez]

You didn't tighten the lock nut enough

Do I have to screw the prop all the way to the base of the motor? Or can there be a gap?

No GAp... Otherwise it's very loose.... Must be flush with the base...
Pls post a picture of the motor you're using.
