"My nose bowl and idea of cowling," writes Jack McKinney. "Club prop was for test stand. 50x50 gyro plane prop turns about the same as my 66x30. It will fly the plane too."

| Jack McKinney writes: "I got your Manual and prop hub drawings sometime in 96 or 97, and used the prop drawing for my engine. It was very good and does a good job. I also had the alternator mounted on the lower rt rear. I also used your idea for the starter, as it was much better than mine. I started out using a side draft motorcycle carb, but have since changed to an updraft from Revmaster, and am still working on the jetting, getting close. It is on a Baby Ace, built from M. I. drawings." "Read the fine article you had in To Fly magazine published by SAA, my #744. That should get more interest." |
