| pfinn | Scratch Built IL-2 Sturmovic | Build | 26-Feb-10 07:21 |  | | Views : 642 | | Spent Presidents Day weekend at my Dad's so instead of schlepping all my stuff for my complicated builds, I decided to enjoy myself and build something fun and "Simple". This is my first "Swinger" ala Simpleflyer. My son is currently fascinated with with the IL-2 Sturmovic. Hence the choice of aircraft. |

| pfinn | Dumas Kit #220, Westland Lysander | Build | 04-Feb-10 21:52 |  | | Views : 1743 | | AUW so far, including battery. Balances good. Indoor/Outdoor. Maybe I'll get a real video camera for this one to make sure if something spectacular happens (other than it actually flying, that is). Carnage happens in this wonderful hobby. It's even better in Hi-Def nowadays! |
| pfinn | Dumas Kit #220, Westland Lysander | Build | 04-Feb-10 15:13 |  | | Views : 1780 | | The battery compartment will be down the center. 1s 150Mah 15c. |
| pfinn | Dumas Kit #220, Westland Lysander | Build | 04-Feb-10 15:11 |  | | Views : 2603 | | Installed. Apperantly thr Lysander wanted a radio compartment hatch. It will be located forward of the canopy. Thid section of the fuse sort of removed itself during handling. he he ;o0. |

| pfinn | Dumas Kit #220, Westland Lysander | Build | 04-Feb-10 15:06 |  | | Views : 1729 | | Mounted the radio "Brick" (reciever,2 servos.Esc). The stock motor mount's (white) four posts (well I kinda broke one off, doh!) squeeze tightly into the four silicon inserts (Handy Dandy fuel line... again). Why? Your guess is as good as mine! Maybe to keep the gear buzz from resonating through the model like a speaker. ;o). Machined in 2 degrees right thrust and 1.5 down. Will be swinging a big Prop (relatively speaking). |
| pfinn | Dumas Kit #220, Westland Lysander | Build | 31-Jan-10 20:50 |  | | Views : 1066 | | Slowly but surely... Basic 1/16" square balsa Stab but added very lightweight 1/32" caps and sanded to airfoil (max thickness at 25-30% to .020" (about) at trailing edge. Offset hinge line. If this "Lead Sled" is going to fly, it's going to need all the help it can get! |
| pfinn | Dumas Kit #220, Westland Lysander | Build | 26-Jan-10 20:09 |  | | Views : 749 | | Back to the Lysander. Chunky beginnings of the tailgroup. The elevator (er?) is split, hence more of the wire bend-a-roo's. Actual hinges this time... |
| pfinn | Scratch Built Twinster | Reference | 21-Jan-10 11:34 |  | | Views : 1347 | | Before the Cannon. Made four of these for the kids. Shoots marbles. Needless to say, the kids need protective etewear when they play with these! |
