Hey Mike awesome pics.




Adam

heres a couple of pics of some stickers i cut out using daves vinyl cutter. i got a bit carried away
*3Der*

whats the distance meant to be between the spinner back plate and firewall??

2mm will be fine.

Nice spats 3der.

Got my hands on a hyde ari today, it makes the gator soft and safe mount look like its been made by a cave man!#

Youve got to see one first hand appreciate the quality of it.

2mm Malc!! that would have to be one thin Engine!!

OOPPSS Thought it read spinner to cowl.

Approx 155mm

But there is a fair amount of adjustment as the cowl will slide back and forth.

ARI rules Luke

As to Mikes prop vs torque. I remember The Boy and I getting a 17 x 8 for CPLR years ago he loved the breaking ability but prefered 16 x 10 for torque rolls.

I seem to remember he was going to mention a 17 x 9 to apc. But then the 140 dz came out.

APC do a 17x10 and a 17x10n. Perhaps worth a try? I have fitted an 18x6w on mine to try, not flown yet.

Will be putting the 19x8W on the 160 once its run in. You got to see that prop to beleive it its huggggge!!!!

hey *3der* those vinyls look good i gotta get me some of those, what cutter is that it makes some nice Stickers?




Adam

All,

Back again on the prop questions, what is the suitable one if we use OS 140 FI ?.. is it 19x8W ?

i used to use a 16x16 on my FI for F3A flying. problem would be the time it takes to "wind up". the 140 does not acelerate like a 4stroke so i think you are going to have to under prop it and be carefull at full throt.

i think the 19x8 will work but remember that on a two stroke it will rev a lot higher in the air.
