    I have five black ones from TDRC that I was going to use on the Sukhoi but never did install them. A 20 dollar bill and an address will get them to your door if any one is interested. http://www.taildraggerrc.com/black-cooling-louver-for-airplane-cowl-2-7-8-x-2-5/

    This is soooo not good!

    Yes that would be great to have the purple spinner. Last time I checked, the 5" was like $190.00. No way I am paying that. I'm not cheap when it comes to quality, but I'm also not stupid. LOL.... So she's outta the box? Sweet....BUIILD THREAD, BUILD THREAD, BUILD THREAD. LOL It was quite loud...

    Ok, so the bottom of the fuse is blue again. Hey, it only took me four hours to get that Monokote to lay down nice. I am reminded so quickly again, why I am an "Ultarcote" man. The white won't be here for a couple more days, so I will be tinkering with other things while waiting for it to...

    That would be a neat trick. I give you permission to fly a glow plane while you fly my plane. LOL

    This is soooo not good!

    My 3W 157cs does not have any grooves either. Problem was not with the back of the back plate which contacted the prop hub. The problem was the contact point on the front of the back plate and the back of the prop where they join. Weird.

    Sweet...that is coming right along. Think you will make your maiden dead line? Can't wait to see what your final weight is.

    This is soooo not good!

    Actually, I did. I put the wrong ones in. It was supposed to have the chrome reverse and I used the bronze forward rotation bearings.

    This is soooo not good!

    Well as you well know, I am most definitely "NOT" a guru on this stuff yet. That's why I rely on all you guys. LOL.... That being said, I am thinking the rpm was most certainly a factor. At least to some degree. However, I promise to read and study more, I promise to never use a CF back plate...

    This is soooo not good!

    No....actually just the aluminum back plate. Still want to use my CF nose cone. Ya know if'n ya want to fly this, ya first gotta progress past the "glow" (shudder) stage. I really can't risk slimy finger prints on my covering.

    Oh looooook..... A Canary on a trike. Gotta love that Cap. Dude, I so want you to build me one....K?? Hmmm???? K??? On second thought, I will just settle for "Elenore II". :yesss:

    This is soooo not good!

    So I think I got things ironed out. Hopefully in a positive manner. Checked the prop hub and the bearing is perfectly great. Just as it came. Nothing to worry about there. After speaking with Dave today and expressing the complete story, It is concluded that the GP 176 just simply makes too much...

    This is soooo not good!

    Its funny...(not really but you know what I mean) that you both mention a "bang" and "sounding funny". I watched the video of the maiden again and I am pretty much certain of when the bolts broke. As I was flying out of the first knife edge circle and made one bank at about the 6:25 mark, the...
