| hjlittman | Easy Built Heinkel 112 | Build | 10-Feb-11 10:37 |  | | Views : 1407 | | Heinkle re-do. The original wing ribs were so "punky" that shrinking the tissue compressed them into "S" curves giving warps that could not be steamed out. The model was unflyable. There were some other weakness in the fuselags, part because of the soft wood and part because of the design, even after I added some reinforcement. I tore the coveing off and did some re-engineering with stronger wood. The model is now going back together, warp free, and stronger, but seems. from weighing the components, to have only gained a couple of grams. Weather premitting, flight tests next week. |

| hjlittman | Easy Built Heinkel 112 | Parked | 22-May-10 10:49 |  | | Views : 1465 | | Not easy bo build without breaking it, but once it's all together it is amazingly sturdy. I replaced the six inch "white prop" that came in the kit with an eigh inch one. Made it slightly nose heavy, but easy to trim out. The trimming flights are a testiment to the "build it light enough and it can't fall hard enough to hurt itself" school of thought. With rubber and ballast it weighs 32 grams. Motot can take 1500 turns so it has a chance if there is zero wind in the morning. |

If it survives the contest I will put the control surface lines and wheel wheel detial on it along with the exhause pipe and unit markings. |
