invercloy Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Will the prop be done in teak like your recent paint jobs on your stock? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozzer models Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 Will the prop be done in teak like your recent paint jobs on your stock? No the prob will be left as it comes so as not to make it off balance Well it will not be working this weekend as i have bust the motor when fitting the prop looks like the shaft moved & it will not now run Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98087 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 That look amazing Just to be clear the prop does turn and provide the movement, cos that would make it an amzing model Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 009matt Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I was just about to post to warn you about the bust! I bought one and put the prop on, connected it it and no go! I ended up ordering a new motor from backwoods and fitting it in. The instructions should say to ream out the prop before fitting. When I phoned, he said that I wasn't the 1st!

RMweb Premium cornelius Posted November 24, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 24, 2009 Will the prop be done in teak like your recent paint jobs on your stock? For such an exotic device I would probably go for sandalwood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Moore Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 That actually looks like so much fun to play with Wouldnt it be just a tad dangerous with that prop flying round as you go past some unsuspecting pedestrian Siimon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted February 15, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 15, 2010 This is hilarious Mozzer, especially the first video - I particularly liked the soundtrack with the muttering and all , All we need now is for you to establish a joint venture with the Shunt-O-Matic. Now that would something to see! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkmouse Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Marvelous! I think the driver, (pilot?), needs a bit more practise with the throttle though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that would something to see! the sound track is my 7 year old son Dean Marvelous! I think the driver, (pilot?), needs a bit more practise with the throttle though! in test 1 the aerocar stoped on the frog of the point & then needed full power to get the wheel out i am going to have to play with this as it needs driving & can not be left to run over the layouts on its own Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
