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

To "Lighten" up the look of the Fuselage I believe I will combine the sheeted/solid lower half of the fuselage with a upper "Former and Longeron" upper half. The Orange tape line delineates the separation line. I sculpted the shape I want in the solid-ish wood to get a good idea of what I want. The Vertical fin will be built in during the assembly. Still big questions on that though! I won't bore you with that...for now. Ha Ha Ha! pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 24-Nov-19 12:53 Views : 1309 The mid section of the Fuselage needs to be "Flat-Topped" because of the control pins that move through a slot in the side of the Fuselage (not there yet). pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 24-Nov-19 12:50 Views : 1298 Shaped out the fuselage. Looks to "Chunky" in comparison to the...uhhh...delicate...airy(?). wings. pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 24-Nov-19 12:47 Views : 1279 Beginning the Fuselage. Got out the old stuff to get some straight lines. Picked up all these Carpenter/Cabinet planes on ebay.de for around $100. Shipped! All the blades and wedges are there. Just a bit of TLC. And some serious re-grind on a couple. It's all good though. I've been acquiring and restoring many vintage hand tools over the past few years to use. nothing like "Hands-on" ! pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Reference 11-Nov-19 17:00 Views : 1315 Learning to fly...HaHa...Funny...During my hiatus I jumped into the art of the Sythe. I made the "Snathe" (handle) out af laminated spruce. I mowed my Fathers lawn with it for a year and a half....before I jumped into my new life. Built that Cabin too. Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 07-Nov-19 13:01 Views : 1297 Trimmed down. I'm also adding Carbon Fiber cap strips (1/16 x .008") to the diagonal ribs to stiffen up the VERY thin airfoil. Flutter is NOT good!! pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 07-Nov-19 05:21 Views : 1272 All up weight is now at 5 oz. including receiver and battery. Yay. Now the fuselage. pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 07-Nov-19 05:18 Views : 310 The large Carbon tube is left long for now. This unit will be something like a cartridge that will be removable from the fuselage...well...because the servos are mounted inverted. A hatch on the bottom for access isn't really a good idea with no landing gear!! pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 07-Nov-19 05:09 Views : 261 The larger tube I made from "Carbon Sleeve" fabric molded around a 5mm rod. The little spring just pushes the Bellcranks out into position. Titanium spring (I just happened to have some, so what the heck ;o ). pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 07-Nov-19 05:03 Views : 273 Parts. The side plates will be profiled after everything is test assembled. I wish to be able to disassemble the whole thing later to help facilitate repairs. In the past I've built all the radio gear and "Monkey Motion" into the model permanently and regretted it later. pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 07-Nov-19 04:55 Views : 291 Rough Bellcranks. I will reinforce the disc mount with wrapped carbon tow to create fillets. Page (9 in total) :  1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
