Extreme Props

Hey Fast Prop People,

RE: Have YOU ever shot someone else down?

Last year I was out dynamic soaring at Parker Mountain. I had been flying for a few hours but while I was repairing, a new guy showed up on my freq. Since things are quite informal at this site I...

RE: Painting in the mold with prepreg?

I do about three coats of the standard high-temp mold release paste wax from Aircraft Spruce. So far, I've never had a part stick. I used to use PVA, but always ended up with an unsatifactory...

RE: Painting in the mold with prepreg?

I have used a laquer-based primer in molds with wet lay-ups to 180 deg F. So far no problem with that. I'm not quite sure how much it's good for, but the laquer would def be worth a try.

RE: FaStEsT?

Thanks for the data points guys. However, I am a little bit confused as to why a gearbox wouldn't be such a good idea. I know big 4-stroke car engines (spec the 5.8L 351 Fords) and maybe that's my...

RE: FaStEsT?

How are these engines able to spin so fast? I seem to remember most OSs in the 40-60 range being rated for only 18k or so. Isn't the power peak somewhere around 17k on the .50sx for example? Has...
