once battery connectors, such as "Sermos R/C Snap Connectors".
Using low-resistance wire, such as Jomar 12 gauge (665 strand)
wire will also provide an increase in performance.
OTHER FACTORS:
In addition to keeping the airplane light and increasing thrust,
there are several other things that can improve performance consid-
erably. Check for the following conditions and correct as necessary.
1. Examine your propeller for irregularities caused by the
injection molding process. Carefully remove these imperfections
with fine sandpaper.
2. Most nylon propellers balance quite well as they come
from the factory, but we have found several that require balancing.
You can improve the performance of your Goldfire by balancing the
prop, using an inexpensive prop balancer available at your local
hobby shop.
3. To takeoff from a hard-surfaced runway the wheels of
your airplane must spin freely, with very little friction Check the
wheels for possible binding when moved from side to side, and put
a drop of oil on each axle.
4. If you store your airplane resting on the wheels, the
wheels will develop "flat spots", which prevent them from rolling
smoothly While this may happen with any wheels, it is especially
a problem with the lightweight foam wheels To avoid this problem,
support the airplane in storage with a Robart "Super Stand" or
similar.
