RE: foamy hinge question

I agree.
I decided to use tape and it works better than I thought it would.

RE: 3Dfoamy.com F-18 setup question

Yep, you're right. This thing is awesome now, it will go vertical.
It is also much smoother now that I have moved the CG back a little more.
Now it flies like I had hoped it would.

Thanks...

RE: 3Dfoamy.com F-18 setup question

No, I think my prop has been on backwards, the side of the prop (GWS slowflyer) with the prop size printed on it was
facing away from the motor, unlike the pictures you posted.

RE: 3Dfoamy.com F-18 setup question
