new guy. need help!
hello, i am very new atall ofthis. i have never even flown a plane! i have been reading thingsposted on here for about 5 days now (all day.) this is my first post .i havealways wanteda plane. i was in my barnthe other day and i found an oldweedeater.i started lookingit over and thought, "man there has got to be something cool to do with theses little motors!" so i went onyoutube looking forideasand thats when ilearned that u guys were flying them. pretty cool. i never thought of puting them in a plane. i was thinking about aboat, but a planeseems much more fun.anyway,i work on a oil drilling rig but have been layed off for about 6 months off and on,so i don't havemuch money to spendon buying the parts. i want to try to bulid it myself. i have a ryobi 31cc, and from what i've been reading it is a farely good one to trywith. it is a short shaft, and i have taken everything off of it. now i am to the point where i am not sure what to do. i want to get a hub bulit and a prop so i can try to get it started, but i am not sure on how to do it or what size prop to start with. i dont think i can start it without a prop. i read on here that it is bad to start them with just the shaft only. well, i got a lot to learn, but with the help of you guys i thnik i can get it done.i cant wait. oh yeah, i don't have a whole lot of time because i am fixing to be going to boot camp soon, like before december 1st, so i got to get going!!! any advice you can offer would greatly be appreciated!! thanks!
