Hi Jim,
It's based on a proper nozzle design in that it resembles the drawing you
sent.
However the range of suitable buckets for sale has dictated the final
outcome.
I fiberglassed a sleeve over the bucket, then thickened & shaped the
interior of the inlet end.
I'm now fiberglassing sleeves over my motors & will attach the kort
nozzles to them.
Regards Alan

Alan,
Tell us a little more about your nozzles. Are you constructing true
Kort Nozzles with an airfoil type cross section or are you constructing prop
shrouds (ducts) with walls of consistent thickness?
Thanks,
Jim T
Vance,
Most probably busy.
I've been doing my kort nozzles
lately. This involved going round the shops with my
propeller in a plastic bag & fitting it in
to various buckets to find one suitable to mold
around.
Maybe it's not the Aliens, maybe it's the men
in white coats.

Okay, Alan. Maybe I don't have a problem after all. Mind you, quiet
from this bunch might be construed two ways. Ominous, as in did the aliens
come get everybody, or busy, as in we aren't talking, we're working. On
subs, one hopes.

Vance,
I haven't had any sub emails since
18th. Might just have gone quiet.

Jon,
Send me something on email, would you? I think some dirt bag has
blocked some stuff on my AOL account in an effort to get me to fill out
a really professional looking document which includes any and all
personal information (including passwords and SSN). AOL doesn't ask for
that stuff, and I wouldn't give it, of course. Meanwhile, I'm getting
nothing for psubs or the enemy camp, and I don't know what else. Some
gets through. Some doesn't. It seems to be the AOL thing, as the same
thing happens on my iphone and Mac. Damn it. If you don't hear back from
me this afternoon, I guess we'll have to figure something else
out.
Vance
