What do you mean? Fighter prop getting hit by the ball?

CoPinFan and MikeHogue please check your PMs for payment info....

Your bracket should be on the other side! Remove the front screw, loosen the rear screw, lift plane up, tighten screw, done

You don’t need both screws. One is fine. This allows you to move the plane up and down. You also probably drilled the holes too low...

Thanks! I’ll give you the tracking number tomorrow

Post pics of your bracket

You are not derailing anything. I’ll show you what I think you are doing wrong but first tell me, What was hitting your glass? The tail or the prop?

Ok so right now your tail is close but doesn’t hit the glass correct?

There are several thing I see that are incorrect in my opinion....

1. The bracket should be facing the other way. See pic.

2. Your bracket is screwed on the very bottom of the plane’s belly which makes the plane sit higher and hitting the glass. I drilled holes for the bracket on the top half making the plane sit lower and allowing you to tilt the prop up or down if you are using one screw to hold the plane. Using 2 screws is more restrictive.

3. Your bracket is inside the plane (yes I know that is just like factory but this is not a factory plane) You need ti drill the bracket on the outside. See pic...

Typing more and posing pics....

There are endless possibilities when installing this plane! You can loosen the screw that holds the bracket to the ramp, move the plane left or right and tighten the screw.

You can also drill different holes on the outside of the plane just like I did. This allows you to move the plane forward, backward, up or down to make it fit...

Check it out...This is what you have right now correct? The same thing, only your bracket is on the inside of the plane

This is what I recommend:

Turn the bracket around, drill a few more holes a bit higher and adjust the plane until it fits. My suggestion is to use one screw to hold the plane if possible. This allows you greater movement. Once you have the perfect fit, you can mark where the second screw goes and drill another hole for it so that the plane is secured with both screws.

You can also add a little hot glue between the bracket and the plane to secure it.

This is what you should do, see pics....In some pics, I have 2 screws holding the plane, then I removed one screw. Then I moved the plane forward and secured it with one screw. Then I loosened the bracket from the ramp to move the plane left and right. So many possibilities

No the prop is not hitting the ramp in that picture, not even close!

This is a modded plane not the factory plane. There is no room with all the cables and resistor. Besides, you never ever see the bracket from the players view. Why is that strange? What difference does it make? All you need is for the bracket to hold the plane

Koops “solution” doesn’t involve wires and resistors inside the plane does it?

Trust me, I tried to install it inside but there is no room with all the cables, and resistor inside. I have posted countless pics of the planes. I assume this is the first time you noticed the bracket being on the outside? And why? Because the bracket is not visible from a players perspective

You know what Koops? You did derail my thread!

It was a joke! What do you think of my solutions? Do you think they could work for you?

Do you agree with me that the bracket inside is not any better (probably worse) than on the outside?

Told ya! Glad I was able to help you out koops!!! How much space between ball and prop would you say?

Tiger moth’s and Batch 2 in full swing now! Batch 1, I’ll ship this weekend once Mike confirms the biplane prop fits under the glass. I think it will but we better make sure....

Hard to catch with an IPhone but here’s the comparison between regular decals and reflective decals. The reflective decals will make your plane pop!

The following is are the installation instructions:

As I said from the very beginning, you will have to do some work to install these planes.

The easiest plane to install is the fighter plane. Why? because you can fish the wires rather easily to the underside of the playfield. You must secure the plane to your mounting bracket by using the holes I drilled for you. You can also drill new holes for better positioning but BE CAREFUL!!!! There are wires inside the plane! If you want to drill new holes, ask me first and I can guide you. You must remove your right ramp wire form. Then remove or lift your right ramp just enough for you to run the wires into the underside of the playfield. You can secure the fighter wires (shrink wrapped section) to the right ramp by using wire ties. See picture

The biplane: The hard part about this plane is running the wires into the underside of the playfield. The wires go under the left ramp. You must do whatever it takes to fish the wires into the underside. You can remove or lift the left ramp, you can remove or lift the jackpot plastic in order to run the wires in a neatly fashion. You can wrap/hide the wires around the pop bumper cap for a more professional looking installation. Install your biplane and run the wires into the underside of the playfield and that is all there is to it. This plane is probably the hardest one to install.

Once that's done, you are almost home! Now it's time to hook your planes into the connector!

Some planes will have Red and White wires. Some will have Red and Black wires and some Will have Black and white wires. If you get a Red wire, that means RED (duhhh). If you get a Black with white, Black is RED. Is you get Red with Black, Red is Red!

The wires are solid and are meant to be inserted into the connector pins. Red with Red and the other wire (white or black) goes to the other wire in the connector, color may vary. You must find the sweet spot and insert the wire so it's snug. You can can install both planes into the same connector (so they spin at the same time) or into different connectors.

I recommend you use the Ruins connector, or the dogfight (plane leds) connector only. These seem to get the most action during the game. You can install the planes into any other flasher connector of your choosing.

Once the wires are inserted, you can secure them with wire ties or electrical tape so they don't move on ya.

You must ONLY connect the planes into a FLASHER power source. Under no circumstances can you hook them to the GI or Lamp matrix! You have been warned!!!

You can insert the wires or solder them into a flasher socket. It's all up to you.

You must make sure you get a good connection when inserting the wires into the connector. The planes will not work if you get a so so or bad connection. That's it! Let me know if you have any questions.....Enjoy!

*****Pics coming******

You can also use one screw to secure your fighter plane for freedom of movement. I recommend you use both screws though. Not sure how well one screw only will hold the plane over time. You can pivot the plane left and right by screwing the mounting bracket to the ramp in different positions. You can also move the plane up or down by using one screw to secure the plane. Once you find the perfect spot, you can drill another hole into the plane if the current holes are not where you want them. Contact me before doing this.

Great news! Mike’s planes arrived safely and the biplane prop has about a 1/4” of clearance!

Check out the beautiful tiger moth tail!

Really?

Wow!

Batch 1 please check your PMs for payment information. Will be sending individual invoices throughout the day. I would like to ship all the planes this Saturday
