As requested elsewhere I am going to do a build blog of my current build, a Miles Magister from the Dave Platt plan. I picked up the plan from Aerofred and had it printed out at my local printers at 120% to take the wingspan to 80" approx. It will be electric powered and is targeted as a replacement trainer for my Ivan Pettigrew DHC-1 Chipmunk which is now showing its age (16 years old) having been flown in all weathers. Target weight is around 4.5lbs, as I will be using construction techniques learned with my Ivan models to keep the weight down and strength up. I will not be doing a "bit by bit" blog but will be doing a "bits of interest" log. The full build will be hosted on my own website and found here. I already have an issue with the plan in that the aerofoil section used is incorrect and is thicker than necessary. This may be because it was designed and built in 1967 when radios were somewhat heavier and motors less powerful. That is probably also why the plane weighted 10lbs.
