bsadonkill | 27-Jun-17 15:59 | Using a single loop of 3/16 with prop supplied with the kit. Single loop is 15 inches of F.A.I. tan. |
LASTWOODSMAN | 27-Jun-17 19:48 | Great idea for a winding stooge donkill! I like the rear uprights to hold the rear motor pegs of different sized models. Looks like that plane could fly forever! I don't know the lingo, but I am assuming a "single loop of 15 inches" = 30" when stretched out straight- is that right ? |
LASTWOODSMAN | 28-Jun-17 16:01 | And what is the wingspan on this? |
bsadonkill | 28-Jun-17 17:55 | I just made it from aluminum channel and 1/8 inch plywood. The rubber is two strands 15 inches in length or one single 15 inch long loop. The 600 series Guillows Lancer has a 24 inch wing span. Next time out i am going to use a 4 strand 1/8 inch motor about as long. This model is a bit under powered with the single loop. |
LASTWOODSMAN | 28-Jun-17 20:23 | Where do you fly Donkill? It looks like a big park. There are no rc planes or rc drones allowed in our Jackson Park. A guy was flying a huge drone at dusk with several underside navigation lights, 300 feet in the air, and filming the sun,stars, etc etc, to send away the film for analysis (amateur astronomer) - told me he wasn't allowed by law to fly above 100 feet. Then the "Auxiliary Police" showed up - I high-tailed it out of there with my Cabinaire when I saw them coming - they talked to him for a long time - kicked him out - don't know if he got fined or not - there are real planes, 500 feet above ground level, flying to and from the airport over Jackson park in Windsor, Ontario. |
bsadonkill | 28-Jun-17 22:11 | That was at Patriot Park just south of Michigan City Indiana. It is the largest open public area i could find around here. There are a number of large open fields , but they are private . |
