SteveM | Guillows Series 800 - Bell P 39D Airacobra | Reference | 27-May-10 19:20 | | Views : 1366 | The Guillow's plans, cardstock, and supplement. In the supplement photo they appear to be arranged as aft facing hoods rather than fins. |
SteveM | Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide | Build | 29-Mar-10 22:04 | | Views : 1316 | Upper wings assembled and sanded to shape. The plans give no indication of how many hinges to use and where to put them so I elected to put one near each end of the ailerons. |

SteveM | Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide | Build | 25-Mar-10 22:32 | | Views : 1203 | I've decided to stick with the recommended MPI EPU-3 motors, GWS 7x6 props, and TP 2S 1350mAh battery. Each motor drew about 2.75A on a 50% full battery so I hope the little Pixie-7P will be able to handle the current of two motors on a fully charged battery. Regardless, there is no need for a 25A ESC as is recommended in the directions. |
SteveM | Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide | Build | 24-Mar-10 16:12 | | Views : 996 | The plans for the 53" Guillow's B-29 shown at the bottom are the largest I have on hand. By arranging the wing patterns across the path of the paper going through the printer any distortion will be applied to both wings. The Sopwith Camel plans above it have the same layout the DH-89 has, providing potential for the left wings to both be shorter than the right wings. But of course they were dead on. |
SteveM | Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide | Build | 23-Mar-10 20:55 | | Views : 966 | The upper right wing on the plans is not to scale as you can see by this 3/32" gap at the end of the ailerion T.E. (Part A9) |
