      You're welcome, just passing on knowledge I've learnt from UA-cam as well and I guess from a little bit of experience 👍

    I like being able to adjust the thrust angle. That is a great way to do this. You're going to have me flying free flight one day Cliff! Very interesting how you do this. It all makes changing the band easy. Really looking forward to your trim flights!

      That would be fun to watch Adam, trim flights coming soon, cheers.

    Very nice explanation. I need to focus on the braiding part. It gets all confusing with loops and lengths and all that. Thx for sharing!

      Hi Yasser, I buy it from Ebay in the UK, it's called 'Autotek Matt Lacquer', cheers

    When I was young I had a model with a small gearbox. As I recall it allowed two motors to turn the one prop. Are such gearboxes available these days?

    • @CliffHarveyRCPlanes

      Hi Colin, not to my knowledge, reading on RC Groups it's more efficient to have a decent prop and motor these days, here's an interesting thread, cheers www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?1550174-Need-gearbox-for-rubber-power

    And here I thought that thrust angling required lots of extra cutting and re-gluing!

    i built a Dumas De Havilland beaver, the nose plastic nose turned inside out as soon as i started winding the rubber. i should have filled the nose with balsa like you did here. thank you for sharing.

      Hi OU, yes, the noseblocks aren't very thick plastic are they, this little tip really makes a big difference, thanks for commenting, cheers.
