Group Build, 20cc Profile ARF, Who's In?

[Bartman]

tim's been pretty good about making videos going on a few years now. we used his prop balancing video over at the multi-rotor site whenever the question came up about balancing the hubs.

If I can't find the Tetherite gear, I may have to install some giant gumby tires to help soften the landings.

fwiw, wire gear would work too. lots of profile C/L planes had wire gear held by elastic bands so they'd fold back if they were jammed into the ground too hard. i'm going to see how the stock gear are and maybe go the wire route just to show another option.

Finally got my order in, hopefully they'll process it tomorrow and it'll be out the door by the end of the day.
Also ordered up a brushless motor and ESC for the 6000mah 6S packs that I have but we can discuss electric power systems in another thread.

Can't wait to see it Bart. I sent you an email earlier today.

If anybody finds some place that has these in stock, PLEASE let me know. Every place I look is out of stock on the TT19 60-90 size.

@pawnshopmike Mike. I may have a set or two in stock. I have found two sets of the giant scale or the Large for Profiles of 9 to 15 lb. I am sure you have all heard this before. I know there is a set some where. I just forgot where LOL !! I have two sets of the medium size I bought to have for future use just in case they didn't pan out need to find them. I gave a set to YAKMAN for his Red-Wing 20cc Yak with the Aero-Works scheme. He loves the tetherite gear and will not fly a profile with out them

Cool. Thanks for the pics. Looks like either one would work just fine. Is there much difference in the weight of the two?

 

[Bartman]

I think I have a set of those that I took off of a TMPro .45 profile I had. .60-.90 size I think although I might have chucked them in the trash at the time. I'll have to look in my bin '0 spares.

@pawnshopmike. I will start going through my stash of goody's and see where I hid the gear LOL!! Heading out to trouble shoot a couple Cat Twin engine Scrapers. Need to set shift points on the eight speed transmission in the front of one and a rear engine shifting problem on the 4 speed transmission in the other twin engine scraper.
