Not sure my old email address for you is still good but I tracked you here.
Back in 2006 you were helping me a little with a Matt Thor Alfa.
The project and my health are back to life. Hope your health is good.:biggrin:
I am installing small motors in the rear horizontal planes, these are
pager motors as used by the slow fly / indoor flyer's. I am using a
second speed control on a different channel and powering the whole thing
with Lithium Ion Polymer cells, lots of amps moderate charge speeds and
light weight in a seperate WTC forward of your WTC. The battery WTC
ends up being just slightly positive bouncy, so any balancing tips other
then what is in your instructions?
The props in the Alfa kit were one pair straight and one pair with a
pitch that is very high. Would it be possible to buy from you creeper
props that would have a more workable pitch. The little motors want to
spin at a higher RPM, ideally 2000 to 5000 and are quite powerful. When
the sub is underway by the main motor do you see any trouble from the
creeper props twisting the sub or will the opposite rotation of the
props be a nuetral.
About three years ago you helped a female grad student out here
at Caltech with some hardware for her project, very nice. She was
getting some machine work done in the same machine shop were I have
privileges and I saw your work in the box with your name on it.
Thanks
