Well I couldn't build this in 30 days with a Windy finish, but do you know the difference between this and a Windy finish?
About a pound.
I bought a Roku 3 so I could watch Youtube on my TV. I hear mention of a 7 ounce finish in the windy tapes. Makes me wonder where he is measuring from? This is a 6.5 ounce finish and I have no paint on it.
No paint? I'll bite.
Then what is that red, white and blue stuff? n~
6.5 oz.? This must include the clear coat?
Your collection of builds, I'm lost, not sure you used clear on this model. ???
You did say you used dope.
When I say no paint "It's to mean very little" You can see through it. Yes it has clear dope on it.
But the reason some people take so long is too much time wasted on writing spread sheets on what color is best or how many rat droppings work best on a wing.
Thanks for the compliment.

The score starts with the first analysis made.
And who are the other two? I hear we don't have a Junior member. Now Robert aka Sparky, have you surpassed Jack Sheeks on the number of airplanes designed and built?

Beautifull aeroplane Robert. Where did the CF landing gear come from?Windy
Nice looking plane and hard to beleave it only took 30 days. Whats the power unit look like. I guess we all are going electric these days and it gets better for those that have a problem with what it takes to go electric. There is a lot more information out there tha there used to be. HB~> HB~>
Electric, electric,...People are flying ELECTRIC???....No way, No how. never happen. <= <= HB~> HB~>
I arrived at the flying field this morning here in Tucson and pulled into the parking area and there was a plane flying and I couldn't hear anything...Most disappointing experience ever!!! Z@@ZZZ Z@@ZZZ Z@@ZZZ
It definitely takes something from the experience!! Maybe I'll take up Golf again! At least you can hear it when you hit the ball. ~^ ~^ <= <= <=

You just need new hearing aid batteries.
Randy, Randy, Randy we need to get with the times. I use a hearing device now and it is because of all the noises I encountered during my life time. Nothing like working in industrial plants, like injection molding machines, corrugating machine and printing presses. No ear muffs. Also drag racing in street stock. But, they tell me it was the model engines that did my ears in. I keep thinking about the ease of electric, you know, not worrying about what nitro content, what plug and if the ni-starter is charged. Electric is plug and play if you have enough batteries charged and the right props. Well enough of this.
Robert, I hope that gorgeous plane gets you into the top 10 this year.
Charles;
A little judicious time spent reading this thread and its predecessor "I've been slacking so I started this" would answer the majority of your questions.
Prop rotation can be easily determined by looking at the photos Robert provided.
In his build thread he said the motor is a Cobra 3515/18. Quick search of the internet provides the following URL which details the motor and the prop adapter. http://www.innov8tivedesigns.com/product_info.php?products_id=847&osCsid=08bff71a9b92732f34534ef239ed65e4
Not five (!) posts prior to your Robert answered the same question. His carbon gear was sourced from Windy.

Its not a spinner in the sense that you are asking. If you would look at it you would notice the hole through it for tightening.I think they are called a prop hub nut or something to that effect.
Any spinner will work with that collet you need a 1/4 28 spinner adapter. Mine is a 2 inch Randy Smith spinner. ANY spinner will work.
Robert,
How does one contact Windy?
I could use some gear.
Hi Charles,
As far as I know, Windy has "retired" from model airplanes and his model airplane business. The last time I talked with him, that is the impression I got. Others have said the same.

Bill,
I need gear. Robert's is nice. Probably costly, but nice.
Possibly Windy has stuff he'll part with, like gear. Ya never know.
Charles
Windy made stuff to order. He's not making any parts (props, gear, tanks) anymore.
When I got my set from Windy, the gear was $40.
Charles I just order CF gear from Randy Smith, his web site has different kinds. I just told him what it was for and he knew what I needed. I did order a set of profile gear for a Bob Hunt Long Shot, these were not on the web site yet, but he does have them. everything I have got from Randy has been great, I don't think this will be any different
