Great video. It explains the mystery for us new modellers.

That's great Paul, I hope it works for you on your next build! There are of course many variables (you may need two locking screws for a powerful motor etc) but its simple enough in principle.

That's clever! I'll be using the thrust line idea.....

Its simple but it works, I'm glad you agree Tim!

the adjustable thrust is brilliant.. thanks

Great video and SA accent, just started with this hobby, lots to learn from a master craftsman. Looking forward watching all your vids. From sunny CT.

Howzit Vincent, well picked up although I make no effort to hide my accent 🇿🇦I'm working on some good stuff but as always finding the time to build, fly and edit videos is tricky...did I forget to mention work in that list of things to do ;-) Good luck with your building and feel free to drop me an email if you need some advice - you'll find it in my channel details. Nice to have you watching, cheers!

I am worrying about this and must make a comment, thank you for sharing

Thank you,very clear video to see the details thank you.

That's very innovative - thank you!

Really nice video, thank you very much

Very useful info...cheers!

awesome video!

I tested it on an airplane with a wingspan of 27 inches. Under the action of pulling force, the sheet metal may be moved. A screw is difficult to fix, and some improvement may be needed. Still sincerely thank you, this approach expands the thinking. I will try some more.

Thank you for your constructive comment... it may be necessary to make adjustments to the design depending on the tension etc. A second plate can be fitted to improve strength and stability. I kept this example simple to make it easily understood but feel free to develop the concept to suite your models perfectly!

@@truebalsamodeller5382 I increased the contact area between the aluminum sheet and the wood, then roughened the surface of the aluminum sheet and used larger screws. Successfully changed the thrust angle perfectly. Thanks again for sharing.

Your a bad ass dude good set up brother troll nice

Great demonstration! Kindly advise detailed measure to follow. Thanks!

Great idea. How about another screw at the other end and an elongated slot. A partly hardwood nose block would help. I use reverse S prop shaft and Tim White hook and 4 screw adjusters in F1.

Hi Jim, Thanks for your positive feedback. A second screw and possibly a second metal plate help secure the shaft firmly if you're using a lot of offset and lots of tension on the rubber motor. I kept the example simple to try to help get builders on the right track after which they can refine the design to their specific models. Best regards, Matt.

Great!!! thanks, I share it on my channel.

@@adarshlakshman4715 For sure Adarsh! It's simple and very smart, I never use free wheel prop (in indoor it's useless) but if I gotta make one, I'll definitely use this technique, I love it. It's aloso rare that I share videos from other on channel it's a first

I really like what you did here. Neat, clean, simple and great workmanship. Curious what size music wire and brass tube you used for your prop shaft and clutch assembly??

@matthewhirst9438

Hi Clinton, thank you for your great comment! The prop shaft is 2mm dia and the clutch assy is made with 1.5mm. Of course the brass tube is matched to provide minimal friction with no actual 'play'. This example was a 12" prop with a relatively powerful rubber motor but of course you could use smaller sizes for smaller props and lighter laods. Maxfliart has subsequently produced a video on this concept in which he provides more detail than I did, search for him on KZread and subscribe to his channel if you haven't already - he is an absolute master of the art!

Pondering if this would work well for peanut scale. 🤔

If you've got the skills to build Peanut Scale, then I reckon you could do it without too much hassle. Why not give it a try 👍🏻
