Post it to youtube and link it, we gotta see this baby run !
Yah, I gotta figure out that YouTube thing one day. I hacked together a little video from my iPhone clips but I really need to learn some basic editing skills on my PC app (Premiere Elements). This still will have to do for now. The warble prop isn't particularly attractive, but it does mean its spinning haha.
I'm also slowly catching up on a more detailed build thread on other model engineering forums which has forced me to organize my pics & verbiage a bit better. The project took so many twists & turns over extended period, the exercise is also for my own sanity. I did test a mini slideshow format, basically stringing pics together of a specific theme like 'pistons'. That might be a good compromise because I could probably assemble 30 specific themed chapters. No narration or anything, just substance with the odd text slide for elaboration.
Well, immediate task at hand is a few tuning issues after teardown inspection so I can do some legitimate break-in runs. It started & ran quite well but I kept the throttle in bottom third & mixture rich. Didnt want to press my luck on the first outing.

I have used DropBox for the forum Peter. It works good enough. After I upload my video to dropbox, I share a link which I copy and paste here. I can do all this on my phone. But it works well on a computer too.
