RE: Black Magic VF3 Build Thread
Guys,
Periodically I've had some people write me and ask me specific questions about how things are installed in my plane, or where they are and other questions to help with builds. I've decided to just post a bunch of the pics, so that as people ask, they are here to reference. On the chin setup, it does not fit that poorly...I only had the front screw in as a demonstration and it wasnt aligned correctly...the chin fits perfectly when mounted. Here is the setup that I'm running in my plane with servo choices.
YS 1.70DZ with 18.1 X 11 prop…I REALLY like this prop. Just a hair faster than the 10 on a windy day, which is nice, but gets rid of the loud bark too, so it will make noise much easier. I have about 25 flights on this combo and really like it.
