I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 04-Feb-11 19:18 Views : 878 Tail feathers ready to cover. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 31-Jan-11 22:01 Views : 882 Rudder assembly. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 31-Jan-11 22:00 Views : 879 Detail view showing the alignment of parts FW and FWST. Mine had some slop in the fit and the plans made it look like the tops are flush, but you want to make the bottom edges flush instead. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 30-Jan-11 00:24 Views : 998 Both motor mounts are finished. I went with PVA glue again for strength and to have time to make sure all was aligned before the glue set. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 21-Jul-10 19:00 Views : 1047 Fuselage is starting to come together. Bending the curves for the nose was a little tricky, but I brushed on water and let it soak and added a little more bend each day I worked on it till it was fully curved. Lots of butt joints, I hope they hold up.

SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 30-Jun-10 20:59 Views : 1139 I cleaned out the thread holes with a pin vice then hardened the end of the thread with CA to act as a sort of needle. Rather than use thin CA to held everything together I opted for some 30 minute epoxy. It does add a little weight but I think it is worth it considering how rough some of my landings can get. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 23-Jun-10 21:33 Views : 1046 Lower wings also assembled and sanded to shape. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 29-Mar-10 22:04 Views : 1312 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 22:33 Views : 1116 Ready for the leading edge laminations then the stringers. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 25-Mar-10 22:32 Views : 1197 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. Page (4 in total) :  1   2   3   4  [ < Prev ]
