RE: topflite elder 40 build
Thanks Phil<div>
</div><div>Yes it is the osa 56 fsa - sounds great fired it up for the first time yesterday... proceeded to break a piece of the prop though (yeah they do break very easily so agree with your thoughts of using a APC prop first).</div><div>
</div><div>Didn't have to modify the hubs on the wheels, they are 4mm in diameter..I rather used an old style way of attaching the wheels which reflects how it would have been done in the early days. I took a 4mm piece of Bronze tubing and cut it slightly larger than the axle length.. cut about 5mm off the axle and then solder the tube to the axle. Next take washers that will fit over the bronze tube solder this as a stop for the wheel to butt up against, put the wheel on then another washer, drill a hole big enough through the tube for a cotter pin and secure. Hope this makes sense - if you need more info let me know.</div><div>
</div><div>Post some pics of the progress of yours.</div><div>
