Try a simultaneous tap to both sides of the prop driver,motor mechanics use this method to release tapered shafts on ball joints.

these might do the trick

Never got a chance to fly it,gave it to a friend of mine,I gave Phil Kent a call and he told me model flies very well his first model was smaller at around 48" span and he built the 55" one and it was sold before he got a chance to fly it.

Juast finished the Cambrian Hurricane with SC25 up front and it tips the scales bang on 3lbs

Just finished these two, Aeronca Champ from a kit and the PT19 from a plan supplied by Derick Scott (flyer21 uk) on ebay

Cracker job Jim,well done.

SC25

Dark green Solartex and a couple of coats of satin fuel proofer

Took about 3 weeks to build,not flown yet and it will have to be hand launched.

it will not be me doing the test flight,need someone with fast reactions I think.

The Cambria Spit shows optional u/c but these fun fighters don't look right with u/c dangling.

stay cool

Just chucked this one together last week,Cambrian Hurricane,got given two kits,the Hurricane from Cambrian and a Spit. from Cambria so the Spit. is next.

Easy build kits,spares are readily available for the Cambrian models, eg. pair of foam wings £25 Decals £10 and canopies at £6.

As you say KC, Parky was a very skilled pilot,you had to be to fly the HG,his prototype went home in a bin bag more times than I can remember.

he eventually got it right and as its name implies it was a hairy little model,if I remember correctly he had a Taipan 15 rear exhaust up front.

apologies to John for straying off topic.

KC

Definitely the 48",got it in the car fully assembled,the Enya 60 fs was never a powerhouse,the model was flown by the late Brian Park ( designer of the Hairy Gnome ) and it flew very well,got snapped up by a club member shortly after the first flight.

so that's why the engine wont start,it's a slope soarer

John

I built this one in 2004,48" span with Enya 61fs up front, great flier.
