Ian Jones Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Hi Mal, That looks so good, like the radial cowl and the smooth lines of the cockpit. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyn K Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Very very late, but here is my humble offering - only completed and test flown last weekend.. Better late than never, but better never late.. Fully Dressed Naked... AUW 810g (incl 2200 3S). The biggest changes are intended to reduce drag, no undercarriage and a slimmed down fuselage profile (Sorry Steve). And here is the broken prop shaft (failed on full chat on the 2nd flight) Failed in mid flight at the circlip, note the granulation in the steel. A replacement motor (3536 1700kV) on order from GC. A few more photos here if you are desperate http://www.modelflying.co.uk/albums/member_album.asp?a=21677 Best wishes Martyn Edited By Martyn K on 23/10/2012 17:15:54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Walters Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Lindsay - are you from Milton Keynes? If so you will have to guard them against vandals! Very nice tho' and imaginative! Have you any udder ones? Are they original spec or beefed up? You can fly them in the Winter when it's Friesian weather! Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ian Clearly some protection, but it had only one previous landing which was very gentle (as you saw). I think it was a duff batch of steel looking at the granulation in the fracture. I suspect a harline crack formed when the circlip groove was cut and it was just waiting to happen. I may be tempted with a monowheel.. A 4mm shaft simply should not break, bend reluctantly, but NEVER break. The prop blades should have sheared before the shaft failed, even if the motor had seized solidly.

Andy Sadly mine bit the dust too, well the top of a tree actually. I wonder how many mass build webbits are still live and well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Gilder Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Mines still around (although not flown for a while!) Bet there's actually quite a few!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew767 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I wonder if Webbs could be persuaded to run another batch?. They've sold out........and i didn't get one. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Gilder Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Best thing is to just give them a ring Andrew. I'm sure they are likely to still have 1 or 2 kits around! Tel : 01928 735252 or 01928 735225. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
