Pizza Tray De Havilland Mosquito - Part 3 - more trimming more mending

Pizza Tray De Havilland Mosquito - Part #3 - more trimming more mending. It embarrasses me to admit it took me about half an hour of testing to spot that I put the wrong props on the motors after I had adjusted the thrust angle so they were pushing the plane backwards!!!! They are matched contra-rotating propellers, one left, one right. I thought the wind was too strong... If you have a question it is probably worth reading this video description first because the answer may already be here. To help you find my videos I made two search guides /watch/wgcHOoOSBecSH or /watch/kRYwkwgU4jZUw or checkout my playlists page /user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1 I based the plane on plans from here http://smm.solidmodelmemories.net/Gallery/displayimage.php?pid=4647 Main Components - Polystyrene Pizza Trays Contact Adhesive Hot Glue 2 x 2.7 volt 5 farad supercapacitors 2 electric motors suitable switch to switch 2 circuits at once This was the eBay listing for the electric motors http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251480920143 The supercapacitors came from Maplin Electronics http://www.maplin.co.uk/c/components/capacitors/super-capacitors Clearly many parts of the world do not have polystyrene pizza trays. They are just the packaging that my local supermarkets use for pizzas. I use them because they are free and would otherwise be thrown away. You could use any polystyrene or styrofoam packaging you can find or even buy foam board from model shops. The foam I am using is about 5mm thick. Main tools - Sharp utility knife Hot Glue Gun Soldering iron Filmed using FujiFilm FinePix XP70 Edited using Serif MoviePlus Starter Edition The prop lock for twin engine rubber band powered planes mentioned at the end of this video is here /watch/gDkwAox3zSV3w Related playlists Pizza Tray De Havilland Mosquito /playlist/PLA5a2xPRSrB2vw43V2xKeu1I-C2y1QKbn Aircraft playlist /playlist/PLA5a2xPRSrB0nZItxE_78EJP0F99Ghaki Pizza Tray playlist /playlist/PLA5a2xPRSrB04GN5yvwwJipBl8tm3-LcD I have over 2000 videos on YouTube covering a wide range of subjects.

OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap. /user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
