RE: Contra Rotating Propeller Drive for f3a 2m Pattern Planes
Hi Guys, Looks like someone else is trying the Contra Drive. [;)] No stab fences by the looks of it. Cheers, Jason.

Hi Bob, Might be worth sending that one back to Plettenberg to see what's going on. Good to hear that you have found the culprit. Cheers, Jason.

RE: Contra Rotating Propeller Drive for f3a 2m Pattern Planes
Hi Brenner, Peter's drive looks to be open to me. I'm friends with him on FB and he said his drive meets the 94dB limit by 10dB.... I'll post a picture from FB. I'm sure he won't mind. Seems to be another very nice piece of Engineering. Cheers, Jason.

RE: Trailer rash?
Here's some pictures of my model trailer. In this instance we fitted three 2m pattern ships in it for the 9 hour trip from Sydney to Shepparton, Victoria for the Masters. I would normally fit two models with stabs on. It's got the torsion type rubber suspension. Whole trailer weighs less than 200 kg and sits nice behind the car. Cheers, Jason.

RE: Ordered new batteries . . . we'll see . . .
[quote]ORIGINAL: serious power Jason, You are missing a point. The extra capacity also gives extra performance, relatively speaking, as the flight progresses - less % capacity used = less voltage drop !! There is no trade off. I suggest you think it through a little more. Brian [/quote] Hi Brian...) so there is some headroom in the throttle stick which offsets the lower pack voltage. Regards, Jason.

RE: Ordered new batteries . . . we'll see . . .
[quote] Jason, Generally speaking the recent,last 7 or 8 years, evolution in F3A models has been to bigger fuz's for drag and knife edge and to smaller wings to increase wing loading. Also E power and IC are flying the same designs,mostly. There must be an optimum wing loading to suit most... have to live with differing opinions on that one...[:D] Cheers, Jason.

RE: Ordered new batteries . . . we'll see . . .
[quote] Hi Jason, You may not be able to notice the drop off but you can take it that - it does happen. The bigger the pack capacity to begin with the less it drops for any style or T curve etc. Rhino 4900 are 1250g that's a 50g difference. The IC guys have a 500g change during the flight... to their own though. A lighter model will always fly better than a brick. Regards, Jason.

[quote]ORIGINAL: PatternFlyer Jason, BLS153 has black nylon gears. How do they hold up? I've had a couple of new out of box S9650 with gear slop. Replaced them under warranty. The other plane got JR DS3421. If not Futaba or JR, Savox has 1250MG. http://www.savoxusa.com/SearchResults.asp?Search.... Regards, Jason.
