I'm just finishing constructing my P51 from the Vintage Model Company. Watching him wind up the rubber band I had no idea that is how it is supposed to be done ! Pity he didn't show some of the construction and trimming it up before his first flight. It's amazing how far it can fly just with a rubber band.

Love it; I built the Guillow's P-51D model. I combined and balanced two two-blade props into one four bladed prop to propel it with a rubber band... it worked flawlessly; well, until the band eventually broke and ripped through the side of the plane. But before that, it had tremendous power and flew perfectly. It stinks that lightweight four blade props; let alone, any useable four-blade props are hard to find for rubber-band planes. Yours looks incredibly nice.
@rubberfly
@rubberfly 3 года назад

Fantastic, the drawing out of the rubber band before winding is a brilliant idea. Almost 50 years ago I built a j87 Stuka. may have been a guillows kit, 3 months to build 7 seconds to destroy. only 11 at the time knew nothing about flight. Hoping to try again. Thank you.

Thank you for the comment. Such a beginning can prevent a successful start in this hobby. I was more fortunate: I started not with a scale model, but with a sports model. They are easier to build, easier to fly, much more robust and easier to repair. Greetings from Switzerland - Andreas.

It has a real tendency to a hard banking left turn. This could be a result of the heavier 4 blade prop having more angular moment of inertia. Maybe shim the left side of the prop a little more to compensate. Beautiful plane!

Very beautiful work and flies really well. Regarding the propeller: how did you calculate the diameter and pitch? Are they similar to the original two blade prop? May you describe us how did you build the four blade prop? Thanks, Stefano
@rubberfly
@rubberfly 3 года назад
Thank you. I didn't calculate the propeller. I made the four blades with a carved prop block for a 7" diameter at 9" pitch. I like big propellers. The original 2 sheet prop didn't give me enough thrust for the proud weight of the model. Optimizing the thrust direction then took quite a few flights. Unfortunately I did not document the construction of the prop. I'll make up for that on a next project ...
@profProsky
@profProsky 2 года назад
Very Nice! SO fast. Lower pitch props might get you more climb, plus a little less speed. Fast, like a pylon racer, come to the US and enter it in an FAC blur race... if you can get it to fly straight.
@rubberfly
@rubberfly 2 года назад
Thank you. A Mustang has to be fast. OK, a little more climb would be great too. But with flying straight ahead ... I'd rather go hiking in the mountains :-)
