| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 19-Nov-10 18:17 |  | | Views : 1252 | | Put the "Dog Leg" into it for adjustability. Flying wings typically don't need very much control surface deflection. To reduce control throw initially I will be able to open up the angle of the Dog. I made the loop to ensure I don't work harden and snap the wire when adjusting. Plus if you guys have'nt guessed yet, I kinda like bending wire. ;o) |
| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 19-Nov-10 18:08 |  | | Views : 1191 | | Since there are so many funky angles, I'm bending some torque rod/control horn linkages. Pushrod is .015 Dia.. Torque rod is .030 Dia. |

| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 14-Nov-10 11:49 |  | | Views : 772 | | I do believe that for this small of a scale, investment in some good quality brushes is a must. I didn't and paid for it in grief. Paint consistancy is critical (this is acrylic). Small batches of paint dry quickly. For example: on the chutes and straps. By the time I was to the third guy (5 min.) the paint had thickened and skinned around the edges already on the palette. Gloppy paint is not good. |
