Norden - increasing the thrust-to-weight ratio
Hunt down an unsuspecting Norden in its natural habitat
Refer to the map in the Where to buy section to find where it usually occurs.
Bring it home and prepare for a makeover
Get yourself a 13×8" 2-blade propeller (KAV50.2.1308E), a suitable prop bushing (KAV50.2.0810) and a spinner (KAV50.10.221).
Perform a quick nose reduction procedure
Unscrew the spinner from the shaft and remove the original 3-blade propeller with just a few turns of a screwdriver and wrench.
Apply the tuning parts
To fit the prop perfectly, you will need a prop bushing. In this case, a 8/6mm from the set works perfectly. (Legends say that our ancestors used to fill the gap with clear tape. Not recommended.)
Model the new nose
Make small incisions in the spinner to ensure zero contact between the prop's blades and the spinner after installation. Clean the cuts with a fine file.
Finalise the facelift
Cover everything up by screwing in the modified spinner with the two screws included in the package.
Start with the exercises
Take your Norden out and carefully teach it new tricks. Really short starts, fully vertical climbs and even precision hovering. Make sure to replenish its energy regularly. It will get really thirsty.
