Diamond Dust Questions????
Just bought a used Diamond Dust. First flight nerve racking but went great.....Couple of questions..
Mine has a OS46 with tune pipe. The plane flew fast but not as fast as the ones I have seen with a .32 size engine. My .46 is turning a 10X6 prop, plenty of vertical.
1..Can I put on a smaller prop for more speed but without over reving the engine.
2.. I have previous seen a PVC stand that is used for starting, any body have pictures or plans.
3.. Anybody found a way to launch unassisted.
thanks

2. NO...
3. Put some partial ribs between the fins to stiffen up the top and bottom sheeting, and do not let the elevons reach inboard of the fins. This way you can launch it yourself without wrecking the sheeting...
