But it does seem to me that the propeller is a bit big, so it looks like it might hit the ground. Thanks for watching

Hello Isaac, I have checked the propeller and although it does not touch the ground with the plane stopped, but it could do so at the time of landing, causing a more than likely accident. This is due to two causes. The first is that the propeller, as I said, seemed large to me; Kit defect that I can't fix, I should repeat the model. The second is low landing gear height from the ground. Thanks for your observation and you were right. a greeting

But in this pic, propeller is no big ....



What the hell is wrong with the propeller on this plane? Thinking, I can fix it. I will tear off the propeller blades one by one and put shorter ones




....................well, I did it


Thanks again, Isaac

I have not comment on this model but the rigging, transparent cockpit and pilot really enhances the very well realized build.
Very inspiring.
