Re: Sub 2.2 Direct Drive prop-hub or zero offset PSRU wanted
Thanks Jon. I'd like to try the direct drive just like the one you have shown. Can I purchase it from you? How about a complete 2.2? All I have is a long block, no accessories.

Nice camera angle and great to see you in the air! Curious if yaw trim was affected by the camera.

Mike,

Re: Dragonfly Corvair update
I really like the view from your mounting. How did you attach the camera to your wing? The video got pixulated at the end but was a great view of the area. Check out Dashware software first more

Dragonfly Corvair update
Hi all,
The weather was good yesterday so I took the opportunity to put some more test hours on the Corvair powered Dragonfly Mk-II.
I sent my Tennessee 52"X 58" prop in and had it cut to a 54"
