Re: Daycab,drinking,magic and oh yeah rain caps....
Mike most real flappers have just one bolt that holds them together. In my opinion by putting two in it like you have you got it to long. I would suggest that you try to shorten it a little and just use one bolt it possible.
The general shape of it look spot on thought good work. ~Mike~ |

Re: Daycab,drinking,magic and oh yeah rain caps....
Version 2.0 of the rain caps look incredible. Very nice work. I'd paint them black. They get sooted up pretty quick on the 1:1 machines. Now you need an air pump, hooked the motor ESC, so as you give throttle, the caps will open up. I always liked the 'ting, ting' noise the rain caps make on an engine that is idling, as they flap up and down.
