Made some "Doh-nut" actuator mounts for ease of covering and removal. Some pretty thin wire there. What you see is actually 2 wires twisted together. Sheesh! |

This is what I use to apply small amounts of CA (A nice piece of Brass of Aluminium would look much nicer ;o0 ) . Just bend some .015" (? or less) wire like this. there is a "Tang" that inserts into the tube. Put a couple drops of CA in or on something that won't absorb it (like wax paper, piece of plastic, whatever, and dip the tip in to pick up a small amount. The smaller the angle between the tips (let's say 5 deg instead of 10 deg) with hold more glue. They do need to be cleaned quite often when using the with CA (scape off with a knife). They work awsome for accelerator (Kicker). No need to spray down the whole thing for just one glue joint. |

I've been very busy with an other project lately so I decided to take a respite. I purchased a "Plantraco" Micro RC system and am building a new "Indoor" aircraft for it. Sketched it up by hand first, then imported a scan to my CAD (Rhino). Built it, and developed the ribs according to my airfoil of choice. I just printed these out and cut them out manually with a hobby knife. The ribs are .020 " (.5 mm) with a Bass L.E. and a .015 Carbon T.E. WS is 8". The planform of this thing is similar to the classic "Flying Flea" with two staggered wings and a verticle fin aft. James, could you add "Scratch built Indoor Flyer" ? Thanks. Phil. |
