BigBadJFly Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Hi guys, When I was building my Hobbyking E-Fair, I noticed that the propellor was at an angle (down and to the right), and I'm not sure if it was at too much of an angle, or even if there should be no angle at all? Got some pictures to show you, but its not that easy to see in some of them. Edited January 5, 2014 by BigBadJFly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny boy Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Most planes have a canted prop, to counter act the motor I think. Caught me out with my first plane too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadJFly Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 I just thought it looked a bit big though for such a small motor in a big glider and it doesn't say anything about it in the instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Bailey Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Yes, it should be there. It effectively makes the thrust from the prop go in a straight line down the model. Without it the model will climb and twist all the time and would require some really wierd wing angles to counteract the torque and pull of the motor.
