How to Install the Driveplate on .049

John I have learned that the only reason I have neighbours is for someone to hear my great engines run.

Depends on your earmuffs.
I run mine inside my shop at night with the doors closed. I've had a noticeable drop off in spiders and nothing ever rusts anymore.

One of my clubmates had the 'Heat' turn up at his place Friday evening when he fired up
his turbine in the garden...

Yes because it creates sound waves and that is sound and some call sound noise.

Love the smell of nitro in the morning, POing the neighbors is a fringe benefit.
Hows that sound, braaaaaaapp

I use good quality earmuffs, so it's not too loud inside.. I just have to throw open the doors after the run, turn my big box fan on high and wave it around to blow out the smoke.

Thats why i like running them inside sometimes
When running them you don't notice but when you re-enter the room you are confronted with a massive white cloud of gas.

"turn my big box fan on high and wave it around" - Rusty

Also a good way to clear your shop of balsa dust.

Leaf blower,,aka,,,Carl in the movie Caddyshack. Works for fumes and thaty pesky balsa dust.

The FBH

John: Over here it's called a BFH (Big F _ _ _ _ _ G Hammer) or more politely: Big Ford Hammer. I have a whole armoury of BFH's for every occasion.

I even have a mini novelty one that i use for opening wall nuts

Indra:

I've heard of walnuts but not "wall nuts". What are "wall nuts"? Do "wall nuts" grow on trees? Enlighten me, please.

Sorry I did mean walnuts.

Excuse me Indra, I thought wall nuts might have been used to make "Harvey Wallbangers". Cheers!

(Look up that one)

Aw you beat me to it! That was the first thing that came to mind.

Yeah me too. I have a small and a medium ball-peen and a big ball peen, two old wooden handled professional carpenter's claw hammers, and a brass hammer, a rubber hammer, a plastic hammer, one hammer with both of those, a tinner's riveting hammer, a tack hammer, a slag hammer, a wrapped rawhide hammer and a maul, a full sized railroad-spike-driving sledge hammer, and a smaller 5lb sledge hammer, a 16" cross peen sledge and my most favorite hammer of all, a Craftsman short handled mini-sledge that I lovingly named "The One-Lick-Stick." If I see any I forgot, I'll toss them in too.

Alright guys, let's hear it, what kind of hammer do you have for that prop drive plate?

My smileys aren't working.

None for installing, but i do use granpappys very experienced dime size faced gunsmithing hammer for removing the washer, along with the removal tool
