UH-10F First firing with sand paper tipped prop

What for is the sand paper?

[thinwater2001]

@konstantinNeo to ensure the correct clearance gap from the end of the propeller to the duct wall.

did you build yours from a kit?

[thinwater2001]

No, I bought it as a deadlined father and son project. It was all from scratch by the plans. I should have finished videos of it flying up by spring.

[thinwater2001]

Yes, I do like the muffler so far on it though. Your broken crankshafts were 5/8" if memory servs me, this one is 1". Also a Harbor Freight Mitsubishi motor instead of your Tecumseh, not that that makes the difference, the 1" should make the diff.

ah, the familiar sound of a large displacement single cylinder! Hope you have better luck with yours than I did with mine! (2 broken crankshafts)
