Default RE: Re: Byron

Can't believe a year has gone by. Doing everything but flying and finishing my aircraft.

Have just started the finishing of this Hellcat/Precision Eagle setup, again. Have uncovered supporting documentation regarding the 2-blade conversion, and info regarding proper sizing of 3-blade equivalent props.

The Byron prop is oversized, overweighted given the power of the 4.2 PE - not surprising.

Contacted Iron Bay a couple days ago - they're working on drawings for the 2-blade prop adapter, and have none in stock. Hoping someone might have one left over from - either one not being use, or perhaps the aircraft no longer exists due to some unfortunate incident.

Else, I expect I'll have to generate my own drawing and find a machinest.

If you are anyone else has a suggestion, let me know. Precision Eagle is not a possible source, I'm told, as they no longer make the 4.2, having switched to a 4.6 with no common components from the 4.2. Will also check any "Sachs" sites.
