RE: "newbie" prop question
Quote by CP:
"Sandore has an interesting project on his hands, because of the challenge. He has a plane that flys about as well as the Wright Bros' did and it would be interesting to see what subtle changes could be made to put it over the top.
Weight reduction! I'm not talking about drilling a bunch of holes in balsa, but if updating the onboard equipment is doable, then he'll end up with a better flying plane."
All true. And this may sound like a reach but if the covering is Monokote then it too can be stripped and a lighter substitute put in its place. This alone could make a huge difference on this planes flyability.
The radio gear though would be my top priority, then covering replacement. Both of which will require some effort.
