Scratch Built Twinster by pfinn. Viewed 1380 times. Build Thread Next Prev Click image to return. Image Comments pfinn 08-Jul-11 23:39 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. lukebozek1 09-Jul-11 07:30 What are you using to "glue" the carbon TE? This is incredible work. What are you covering this with? pfinn 09-Jul-11 09:26 Thanks. Thin CA. The gussets are pretty much mandatory. The stringers are also Bass. .020" x .020". I picked up some 3um and 5um (micron or .0001") mylar from "Homefly". The 2um is clear with no adhesive and the 5um is "Corsair Blue" with heat sensitive glue already applied to the mylar. Can't decide which to use yet. Probably clear. David Duckett 09-Jul-11 09:38 Da Vinci would be proud! BillParker 09-Jul-11 10:39 This photo is going to give me bad dreams...
