Default RE: Aurora 60 Build Thread - Electric Power


... Pete donated all the goodies you see in the box including 2 sets of those hard to find Gator Plug-In Wing Adjusters.
No problemo. Im happy they found a better home in a great looking model. I think that was the last of anything 'pattern' in my shop <sniff>.

If I didnt have 40 projects in the que already, Id take a crack at machining a variable pitch mechanism for your electric along the lines of this pic. Cant you just picture this bad boy with a 3 blade prop? It would be a totally retro-vintage touch. I could forsee 10 meter smokin takeoffs.... & probably even shorter 'braked' landings <g>. Didnt Steve Helms run one of those units on is Aurora circa late 80's? We would of course fix the F5B folder blades into permanent 'stick-out' position.
