Title: George's new zero and handle
Post by: john vlna on May 25, 2014, 06:58:51 PM
My friend George Marenka recently built a 15 profile Zero with servo control. The handle is very neat so I thought I would share some pictures. The handle has been pull tested at 50 lbs. The radio is the HobbyKing 3channel car, cost only $23.
The installation in the plane is very neat and works great.

This has to be one of the nicest convertions  that I have seen. Very nice job and I don't see why it wouldn't stand one of the heavier pull test in carrier which can be up to 100 pounds. Super job on the plane also, very neat installation. Eric

I agree with you, I plan to make a copy and see what it will stand, but basically it is constructed almost like my handle which has been test pull at 100 lbs.

 That is really cool, and very nicely done. It would be a nice mod to offer for sale. y1

There already is a supplier for a complete set-up. Try <www.rsaxton.com> Ralph Saxton is really promoting his units for Profile Carrier. Here's my unit, and I love it!

Hey John, I like this set up with the full D shape metal.  My problem and it may be a problem is the pull test on the plastic if it will hold up to the Scale Class carriers.   You know I build heavy and pull usually about 80 plus pounds on my scale ships.   I may go look at this again after Brodaks.

It is not shown, but the other side of the handle contains ply re-enforcement which should handle heavy loads.

That handle looks excellent and should handle any line pull test. That's a good standard to go by!
I wouldn't trust plastic for a stressed anchor.
