Are there any how-to-threads about this mysterious laminating film?   Edited By Joakim Karlsson 1 on 30/01/2021 22:08:46

Posted by kevin b on 30/01/2021 19:09:58: Hi Joakim. There is a plan for a 36ins (915mm) control line model on Outerzone which could be modified. Have you had a look at the FW 194 ? This is a similar looking aeroplane and there are more plans around. Sure you don't mean FW 187?

All valid points, I will investigate! I knew this was the right place to ask around for it

Very happy to see people building the P-51! A plane with a lot of colour schemes to choose from. Thought I'd post a couple of favorites while I finish eating my meatballs, bork bork!

Have been looking around for a kit (or ARF I guess) for this charming ugly duckling. But I have only found a couple of large ones. Would love to see this one around 1.6 - 1.8m, that way you could still fit it with retracts and flaps, and get away with less expensive motors, ESC and batteries. I think this would be a great twin engine trainer plane in a simple and very practical warbird costume. With the placement of the motors vs the stab and fin it would be able to land even if one motor failed. Not like the dreaded P-38 death spin.   Edited By Joakim Karlsson 1 on 30/01/2021 15:47:43

Sounds great! And congratulations (and thanks!) on a very successfull design     Edited By Joakim Karlsson 1 on 29/01/2021 18:53:12

If not then the thought of making blades from scratch seems more daunting that reality. It’s not that difficult if you select the wood and have either a belt sander or David plane and sanding blocks. Have a go! What’s the worst that can happen? You are quite spot on. The fabrication of the blades has been something that has made me turn around when looking at autogyros earlier. But like you said, whats the worst that can happen? Also, it will be faster to sand blades out of wood than it will be to print them. But might give both a try. Whats scaring me a bit now is making the GF triangle head plate. I guess the holes have to be quite spot on not to cause balance issues. I know those plates are available from Coolwind. But I really want to be able to make my own in case of a crash. And I don't think a 3D printed one will hold up as well as GF, or perhaps it will if you make it three times thicker? Two other things. There are three discs available at Thingiverse called H1, H2 and H3. What are those? And is the article available in PDF format somewhere?

I am really tempted to get me one of these. The design is awsome, well done! There is even some parts for 3D printing on Thingiverse. But I'm wondering about the short kit available from Sarik Hobbies. Looking at the "Plan, Laser Cut & Additional Wood Pack" product. Anyone know if it includes GF parts and landing gear? My guess is that it doesn't, since its not mentioned Any good source for those things?

I haven't even bought mine yet Had some trouble deciding between Seagulls 60-sized P-47 and VQ new P-47 in 40-50 size. I'm quite fond of both manufacturers. But I have a Laser 100 and a bunch of PowerHD 6001MG servos, already, so it looks like it'll be a Snafu soon enough.

Thank you Jon! I really should read the whole thread before asking questions now shouldn't I?

Very neat installation. How does the Laser fare being inverted? Also, I have an older version of the Laser 100. Should I bother installing a pressure nipple on the exhaust?
