1/10th Scale Westcraft B-17G Electric Conversion

[Hardway]

Here is a test fit of the dummy radial for the Power 60. It may look familiar.... From the Flightline F-7-F Tigercat from MRC...

Awesome! I like it!:Cool:

Very nice start all you need is dress her up with some lines and paint

[Hardway]

Finally have the numbers from the test stand on the thrust of the Power 60 with a 13X12 3 blade... There is some drag from the anti rotation pin (for torque) and general friction in the rig. But even with all of that, we have 12.3-12.6 pounds of thrust according to my new digital fish scale!!! I think we have a least a pound more, but going with the raw data, we have 49.2 lbs of thrust for a 45lb airplane! I think we are in business!!! :Cool::Smug::Party:

[Hardway]

Pics to follow a little later. I have to clean up outside in case we get rain.... Please, Lord, let us get rain!!!! :Rainning::Cool:

True!! If I leave the tools laying out, it will pour!!! LOL

[rifleman_btx]

Every time brother!LOL

[Hardway]

Here is what I had to clean up.... Shouldn't leave all that out in the rain!!

[Hardway]

Some of the thrust test rig build progress... It works pretty good!! 1 1/2" and 2" PVC pipe and parts and 1/4" birch plywood. Lots of little things to engineer... :Confused::)

Very cool

Roger... It worked. The truck was just detailed after some body shop work. It is raining now... LOL Not very heavy, just a light rain and I am so very thankful!! I am tired of soldering... Doing the last of the motor extensions now.

[rifleman_btx]

[JFandL]

That 4 letter word around here gets you a different response. You can have all the rain from here you want!! ;):Cool:

[rifleman_btx]
