CAP232 Breitling

Cheers Jon. Just had an order from Hobbyplastic for some Secraft deluxe wing bolts. I never noticed those servo arms further down the accessories page. Oh well, it can wait till Monday/Tuesday to order 1 inch metals. That'll give me one to one pull ratio.

I like Irvine too, have used them for sometime but I did not think there was enough metal on their lightened backplates to drill out for 4 bolt prop drive. I'll have to have a rummage thro my stock. :lol: Your right, 3 1/2 inch spinner 89/90mm is the size I am looking at to fit. Tru-Turn are nice , expensive and Probuild have not got any in my size.

There's plenty of meat in the backplate for 4 bolts, my MVVS is 6 bolt and that's fine.

Two 89mm spinners turned up today. A black and a red one. The Red was not a bright arterial red as I thought so hacked away at the black. Seemed like all morning nibbling away but finally and after some adjustment to the 4 mounting holes in the backplate - Presto. Pity the prop ain't black but the spinner looks like it is supposed to be there and at scale or thereabouts.

Thanks Jon for pointing me in the right item. Really pleased

Servo arms. I'll stick to the Hitec HD plastic ones for now seeing as the surfaces are all set up.

You don't need permission to paint the prop black Phil, to scale the back of the blades would probably be black anyway.

:lol: Okay then. Should I just prime it lightly with dark grey and followed up with satin black acrylic car aerosol. I suppose I should lightly wet n dry the varnish surface first.

With some difficulty managed to get it out of the kitchen and into the drive so I could attach the wings and check C of G. I think it is a little tail heavy but I could not hold it for long enough. When I am more fit-n-able I'll have another go... No rush anyway because it won't fit the van ...

Looks good Phil

That's a shame it looks so good - but don't despair - I can help you out, it'll go in my car ok, you better give it to me!

Very pretty Phil

What's the plan for transportation then?

Are the tailplanes removable? If not, I came up with a quick connect solution to this some years back
