Being a clockwise flyer I had to change the Nobler wing to fly it clockwise. I do not like to butcher wings or anything else on a model fot I believe it makes it weaker. However I bit the bullet and did just that. I cut thru the bottom near the trailing edge so I could get the pushrod to come out the otherside which is the way it has to be for clockwise flying. There was a large piece of plywood in the back end of the wing that holds that part of the wing together. I cut a hole in it so I could get the pushrod thru it, I then bent new pushrod so it would navigate the hole without rubbing. I had to take old pushrod off and put new one in which ment I had to lift the Belcrank in the air so old rod would come off and put new one in. Wa La I had a clockwise ARF. Big Deal. I have not flown this plane yet but will one of these days. It was a good experiment. I am Not sure I can do this with other ARFS or not. What I do know is if they would build these ARFs so we could put our own control systems in them they would be better.

At last I have flown my Nobler. I put a e-bay OS-FP 35 on it and ran it with a 11/4 Zinger prop at 10,000 rpm and it really flys great. I tried running the engine in a 2-4 beak but the tank kept surging on me so changed to differnt prop and now engine runs steady and it flies same speed during the whole flight. I like it and the plane did come out a little tail heavy so it needed balancing. I added extra wing weight but need to take some of it out. The control throws were about right for me. After doing the pattern a couple of times I decided it was a keeper. I think any 35 sized engine could fly this plane. 

Leo, you could have built it to fly counterclockwise and just fly with the handle upside down.  I've been doing that for 50 years until I recently accidentally built a clockwise airplane. So I am now flying both ways.  Still a little more comfortable counterclockwise.  It has been an interesting and challenging experience.

Seeing you are now flying both ways what is your mindset when doing this. I have not had the guts to try this yet. I think i will let you do this.

I'm flying mostly OTS these days.  Flying counterclockwise I can concentrate on flying the maneuvers well more than thinking about where I am in the pattern.  Flying clockwise, I have to think more about where I am in the pattern and can concentrate less on flying the maneuvers well.  I've flown over 100 clockwise patterns and am improving, put my scores are still about 30 points down from flying the other way.  I'm much more relaxed flying counterclockwise.

WOW, would you mind changing minds with me. Mine is overused but will make you a good deal.
