MTK, Thank you for this wonderful thread. Your setup info with the problems encountered/solutions for both the plane and the OS motor has provided a pattern beginner with a nice guide for a high level pattern performance plane. Don't go away, ''we'' need more of this stuff. Bob
Heavens, NO! Not going away, just that the OS experiment has reached a natural resting point. If I come up with anything new on that powerplant I will post.
BTW- I've just completed a 20x10 hybrid prop for the OS that should work well. I'll post photos soon. Yes I could just buy an APC. But the weight of 20x10 apc is over 5 1/2 ozs and that just leaves me shuddering. Also the weight of the 20x12 WPN is 7 ozs and 20x12 PN 6 1/2. My MDK Hybrid 20x10 weighs a scant 2.5 ozs. I am also looking at a 20x12 hybrid that should weigh less than 3 ozs.
In mean time, I have new plane design in the works and will start to concentrate more on that build. My Delta will be powered with the lightened DLE55 on pipe. You may follow along in the Derivative thread. I am in middle of developing a new way of glassing stabs and wings. I will be outlining that process there.
