Hmmm, Dennis seems to be a popular name in ECL
Dennis T: I agree with you that a front mounted engine is preferable, but the front part of the cowling on the NoblARF is very tight so I dont think its possible.
Dennis A: Reverse rotation is very tempting, but I will try a "normal" setup first. Wasnt that the reason why GMA flew clockwise circles?
As this thread will focus on the E conversation of a Nobler ARF I will not write much about the general assembly of a NoblARF. However, here is a list of the modifications I intend to do:
1. Replace the stock bellcrank and lead outs with a 3" Brodak bellcrank and bushed lead outs. This is a must!
2. Carbon fibre pushrods with ballinks where its possible to use them. Not sure here, the stock pushrods works pretty good.
3. Replace stock clevises with high quality german made clevises. This is a must!
4. Replace the stock landing gear with real 1/8" music wire OR a carbon fibre landing gear from carboncopy.co.uk
