RE: EU-1A
Heres a run down, nose to tail. 70'' length due to extra half inch on rudder and long spinner, wingspan 62".
TrueTurn 2x7/8 Spinner - paint with LustreKote and PPG clear
YS 61AR LS
APC 11x8 - I've tried a Master Airscrew 11x7.5 and APC 11x7 and 11x9. The Master Airscrew really rings out the YS over 15k and grooves the plane nicely but does'nt pull as good as the 11x8. The APC 11x7 also provide high rpm but pulls the worst out of the 4 props used. The 11X9 I think may provide a little more speed once airborne, but take a little long to rotate the plane.
The 11X8 APC seem to be ideal. It pulls good and the plane is airborne in about 100 feet. She flys off the deck just as smooth and level as a F16, F14, F18, etc. taking off.

Two IFC air whistles on the bottom inner wings - With two different tones, it gives a turbine effect
Hinges are all CA cut 1''x 1.5'' and glued with ZAP hinge glue. (I would normally not use CA hinges on a plane like this, but the ZAP hinge glue is unbelievably strong)
White Fiberfrax was used in the fuse to protect the servos from heat in the rear, to protect the battery and nosegear retract from header heat.
