5:45 "...lube it after the check-in process." That may be OK for Science Olympiad, but AMA and FAI limit the weight of the _lubricated_ motor.

Very nice looking P30! That’s a great pattern, wind that baby up, once repaired!

Oh my gosh. I've had so much trouble tying a knot that wouldn't slip. That is so simple. Thank you for making this video.

I use a "Fisherman's knot", which is just a pair of overhand knots, one tied in each end, but around the standing part of the opposing end. It is no more complicated but has the benefit of being symmetrical and compact with the tails running parallel with the motor instead of protruding to one side.

thank you!

Useful, but I would have liked to see the actual construction of the prop. Perhaps if you build another one?

Thanks. I have an unfinished folder from Volare ready for an unfinished coup. I’ll refer to this when I’m ready to set it up. Happy holidays -Jeremy

Thanks for putting this video up, I've been looking for some information on KZbin to build a folding prop for a Gollywock for a while! Christmas greetings from Devon UK. Cheers, Marc

Hi I noticed that there are 33 Light and 33 Medium. Which one would you recommend?

Either will work fine. I don't like lube that is too thin if the rubber motor is mounted inside of a fuselage of a model. I don't want thin lube being thrown off against the tissue or Polyspan covering that covers the fuselage frame.

The roll stability comes from the tip plates on the wings. They effectively provide dihedral.

Where does the roll stability come in on a model with no dihedral? I've seen indoor models with zero dihedral but how does the model do in turbulent air? Thanks. Looks great!

Tip plates on the wing tips effectively provide dihedral. This P-30 handles turbulent air as well as a P-30 with traditional wing dihedral.

Tip plates on the ends of the wing provide effective dihedral. This P-30 handles turbulent air as well as a P-30 with conventional dihedral.

Very nice flyer. What thickness mylar did you use? Thanks

The wing and stab of this Three Nite P-30 are covered with Microlite plastic film which is made in England. It has an adhesive coating. You need to remove the clear backing before applying it to the framework, and then adhering it to the edges with a heating iron. The same iron is then used to shrink the plastic film. Do not over heat the plastic film. You should keep the iron under 195 degrees F. when adhering the Microlite plastic film to the perimeter of the framework. Keep the iron at around 230-250 degrees F. when tightening the Microlite plastic film over open framework. I don’t like to use adhesives such as Balsaloc or Balsarite. Ditto for thinned Velcro cement. They contain chemicals that I don’t want to breath. I could not find the thickness of this product anywhere on the Internet or on the instructions. I think the film is ½-mil in thickness with the clear backing removed. The instructions say that Microlite plastic film weighs only 0.6 oz per square yard.
