My Sea Fury is getting a 53cc flat twin. This is an XYZ engine. Basically 2 X Turnigy 26cc on one crankcase. I am not sure this engine is still available. The plane is a Bates plan Laser cut by Belair.

At the time there were no laser cut parts or cowl for the plan so I did switch to the JB set from Belair. Even so other reasons mean I still haven't finished. The cowl from Fighteraces is still in its box.

Starting again.Where do I start? What a shambles.

I just realized it's 3 years since I started this project. Even allowing for a false start this is a record for me. Whilst sorting out the stuff for this winters campaign I found an RCGF 15cc petrol engine that I have had for a few years. It seems a shame to leave it in a box so I bought a Wot4 XL ARTF to fit it. I just need to put that together before I start on the Sea Fury again.

Would you believe I spent this summer with a heart problem. I ended up with bypass surgery. I was not allowed to drive for six weeks. I had just begun to get back to normal when this started. 3 months went by before I was able to do anything. The last 12 months have been a nightmare. Still I'm OK now. Must get back to flying again.

Long delay in seeing this one . CG as plan. I will check the throws as its a while since I set it.

Anyone used Deluxe Materials Superphatic glue. Looks like a better glue than cyano. Edited By Glyn R on 19/04/2017 23:24:09

I have decided to use a piece of 3/4 ply cut to the best shape to contact as many formers as possible. I have had to grind away a good bit of the rib to allow the wheel to fit properly in its recess I will fit a 1/16 ply doubler to reinforce this area. The project is now on hold till next winter.

I received the new replacement Rx from Horizon. Its an upgrade to the latest telemetry ready version so I am quite happy.

I am pondering the best way of mounting the retracts. Should I get some 3/4 ply or use hardwood strip?

A bit more progress on the wing centre section. The top skin is on I now need to work out how to fit the retracts and flap. I am using electric retracts as planned for the first models. This plan has a one piece wing so I think I will build it before I go onto the fuse. It is not too difficult to store a large wing out of the way. The retracts are not true scale but the price of custom legs put me off. I think they are of the period and will look fine. Edited By Glyn R on 31/01/2017 16:05:23
