Started installing retracts |

Retracts finally arrived. These are great.No need for servos. The retracts have their own built in motor. |

A number of people have complained about these kits. I find them great. The plans are slightly different to the cnc cut timber. but the parts fit well and it all seems solib. All balsa has been supplied including the 1/16 timber for covering and the cockpit etc. I wouldn't hesitate in buying another one. I like the Trojan. I'm waiting for my retracts to arrive so i've started on the fuse. |

I managed to buy a galvised sheet from my local sheet metal merchant and i'm using my magnetic jigs for building. |

I scanned in the plans and completely redrawn them. I've altered the wings to show the retracts and also altered the nose to account for the different size motor. Also the original pans ran out by nearly 3mm compared to the cnc timber so allowances had to be made for that. |

An example of the CNC cutting. |

| This is an RBC Spitfire Mk1. (Ignore the box!) Its a 41" wingspan which is CNC cut delivered from Holland. I'm looking at using an Turnigy TR 35-42D 1000Kv with a turnigy 45a esC a 3 cell 11.5v 2500 mah battery and a Graupner 9x7x3 prop. I'm also going to have a go at some E-Flite Retracts. These have built in motors so they don't require a servo. Wish me luck! |
