Default Got my first set of stuff in the mail for my trainer.

Got most of my stuff in the mail today except for the aircraft itself which I had to change on my order cause it was backordered so I now have a Boomerang 40 Trainer on its way for me and should be in on Monday(wish this week was one day longer LOL)

Anyways here's some pics


Props


I love this sticker... I didn't find any insert with instructions in the box(not that I expected any)


I bought this blue spinner for my Arrow from H9... Hope it matches with the boomerang.


Still on packaging.


The engine in all it's glory


with the exhaust

If you use the 'click here to upload images and files' link, everyone will see a thumbnail they can click for afull size view. If someone using dialup clicks on this thread, it could take several minutes to open with the pictures the way they are.

Well they are all under 100k but one so it shouldn't take too long for the first too appear.

I'm sure it will. I've read a couple reviews and people say the Seagull Boomerang is pretty good other then the gear. Luckily I have an old trainer in shambles and I might take the gear off of that one cause it's still good. We'll have to see.

lmao... drew that sticker on the prop is funny. When I first go into this hobby and seen that I was looking in the bag wondering if they put the instructions in the bag. lol.. just kidding. I was wondering why the heck they put that sticker on the prop. I did find out today however on the prop the thin side. A good tip so you don't tear your fingers or hand up. take a knife and lighty shave off the sharp edge. However when you are done with that make sure you rebalance your prop.

Ahhh...Thanks for the description Bruce I'll add some pics for all of those whose computer won't show the pics(me) As far as I can tell these should be accurate.

1. A prop

2. A Blue Spinner

3. OS 46 AX

4. Complete Boomerang 40 with all that stuff

Tell me if this looks right

Prop is a G/F 3 series master airscrew and the spinner is a little more pointed at the tip

Good grief -EXTRA- , give the kid a break. They're close enough.

Uhhh, can you turn the spinner about 20 degrees clockwise?

A ha ha ha. By the way, the plane isn't it. you could change that pic to reflect that with a sealed box and a postal worker carrying it. :-D

Hey look at what I found in the photo gallery Bruce.

Someone else must have wanted an Arrow and then changed his mind after buying the spinner

Default RE: Got my first set of stuff in the mail for my trainer.

Two things you should know...

1 - Before using that prop, scrape all 3 edges (Leading edge, trailing edge and tip) with a knife or razor blade (SCRAPE, not cut) to remove the "Flashing" that was left by the mold. The flashing is VERY sharp and even casually flipping the prop can slice your fingers to ribbons if you don't scrape it off.

2 - The spinner will work fine on the Boomerang, but just so you know, you will probably need to open the prop holes a little with a file or a dremel tool

Learned that the hard way. I was just spinning the prop by hand to prime my 46AX and the prop sliced into my finger like a razor. I have a scar on the underside of my middle finger now. I always sand down the edges of props now.

Man that 46AX is a awsoem engine. It will definatly be powering my next plane. I do like the 40 FX I have not but I like the design better on the 46AX.

Open them up bigger? I put the prop on to see with the spinner and it fits fine and even has a very small space between the blade and the edge of the holes on the spinner. Is it ok then?

That's fine. In most cases, the prop doesn't fit and people think they get the wrong spinner.

Fact of the matter is - Manufacturers make the holes small so they will fit a small prop - YOU can make them bigger. If they made them big, you COULDN'T make them smaller
