He usually hits the nail pretty close to the head by using your actual drag data if you have a flying airplane. Also, he keeps track of all the data from plane to plane so he can estimate fairly close when it comes to engines and airframes. He also let me know he is thinning his sections some and has started using the newer "in vogue" scimitar tips. They look cool. I will be trying one of his three blades sometime this year just looking for smoother......

I didnt want to change prop carvers since I would be starting from scratch again. ........Lot of good that did me! I would like to try a Catto, but was scared to spend the $1200 if I was wrong in the pitch guess.

It was severly damaged in shipping with the verticle stab being crushed, the lift strut carry thru tube torn loose and several cross members in the bottom of the fuselage bent. Today, I started cutting away the bent structures. All of the verticle tail was removed except the tailpost. The damaged H-stab stub spar and the tubes that create the saddle in the fuselage sided were all cut out and discarded. I welded in a new cross member in the top of the fuselage where the leading edge of the verticle stab is attached as this was the only tube damaged in the top of the fuselage. It really felt great to have the torch in my hand again. I'll be fitting more tubing in the fuselage tommorrow.
