The 3rd episode focuses on making two kinds of prop hooks that help prevent long rubber motors from creeping or tangling around the prop shaft. First is the Z hook, often called the Reverse S hook. Then comes the SFA hook, a variation that evolved from the Czech hook by Tondra Alfrey. There are many, many ways to build & fly model airplanes. These films show how it has played out for me. Filmed with a Canon PowerShot SX20-IS & iPhone 11 Pro. Music via motionarray.com.
