Using a Power Pack F.......

Ok.. so the prop must be flush against the motor, and the nut must be tight enough that when you hold the motor and try to rotate the prop it doesn't slip

Hmmmmm.........That makes doing cowlings a bit difficult, but I think I know a way. We make a plastic extension of the prop shaft (complete with 9 cylinders!) Slide the extension through the cowling & bolt the prop onto it.

Forgive the crude drawing.....We can make them with 7 cylinders, 9 cylinders, Oberursel or Clerget or any other rotary.

Not a good idea... As it can mean that it breaks every time you do a hard landing...
Rather move the motor forward..

just plastic to hold the prop isnt a good solution at all , as @Matthewdupreez says, move el. motor forward.
Always mount prop on el.motoraxle/prop mount on el.motor axle.

I understand your concern, but I believe it will work. This not only allows us to pierce through a cowling without friction, but it also allows us the flexibility to place the prop where we want & even add plastic nose cones!!
One of these days, when I win the lottery, I'll buy me a 3D printer & a spool of grey PLA & make one. Dunno what happened to the 3D guy. Guess he's busy doing other things.

I also need a laser cutting table as well, it seems.......

Halberstadt D.II

Video follows.....

Ah skins! What fun! I guess it depends on what you mean by the word "Skins". For clarification, are we talking about digital images created to be wrapped around a digital frame for use in computer games and simulations? Or Digital graphics created to be printed at hi-resolution on foam or paper for foam board RC planes? I ask because the above look to be wonderful examples of digital images created to be wrapped around a digital frame.

Skins indeed.......!!!

UPDATE: Despite the cooler weather, I was able to get more done on the Halberstadt D.II

I may try to get a Kitty Hawk out of this plane. Maybe 2 wings are better than one?

Ok, I'm gonna hafta ask the mods to step in. Y'all are posting WAY TOO MUCH in my thread.......

A stranger walks in with 20+ years in the Flight Sim Community & an amateur historian of 30+ years. He proceeds to build not one, not 2, but 3 WW1 aircraft, all in historically accurate livery.....

AND NO ONE BATS AN EYE??!!

Happens all the time, does it?



Oh, and I totally forgot to set my expo & throws in my transmitter. No wonder it was acting like a bucking bronco!

.....I'll fix it & try again!

Well. I for one don't watch any of your videos, due to the fact that I stay away from strong language.
Your builds look great . But honestly I don't have time to comment on every single post

 

[Baron VonHelton]

Well, I hung on my prop twice.........

My bad, I didn't know you were a minor. There I go assuming again........My fault.

 

[Baron VonHelton]

If I get a bit of warmth tomorrow, I'll secure the battery with a strap. That should finally give me a Kitty Hawk.
