Martin,

I bought everything at Aircraft Spruce. The bearing is part # FMN12. I bought a short length of 4130 3/4 x 0.095" tubing and a short piece of 7/8 x 0.065" tubing to mate together. For the plate I bought a small piece of 0.071" sheet 4130. In hindsight I would buy at least one size thinner. The stuff I have is pretty heavy but I wanted to make sure everything was heavy enough in the absence of any engineering. Simply buy tubing that will fit snug (nest) together. If you do an internet search there are several guys that have info, including Ben Haas with his 801.

Good Luck,

Joe

Hi Chris,

 

Nice plane. I wonder if I could ask a question ?  Oups, just did !

Another then...You used to fly with a 70 inch 3 bladed Warpdrive on a 912ULS (100hp), what was the pitch (degrees) you setup the blades at ???

I noticed somewhere else you said you were getting around 90mph cruise, is this still valid ?

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Normand

Hey Chris

Good idea... but am I missing something here? Id there a rod or tube to connect both cranks together... seems to be missing in the parts shown. What size are the bearings?
