Peter Miller Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 THat looks impressive. When I get someone starting out in aeromodelling I always tell them. "You will crash models. It doesn't matter how long you doit,oit doesn't matter how good you get,You will always crash them. ITmay be a stupid mistake, it may be equipment failure. IT may be weather but they will crash so get used to the idea now." I know! I have been crashing models since about 1953! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C. Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Yes Peter 👍 and for some reason it is always your latest model that bites the dust 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad_flyer Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 That is a really sad thing to happen to a new model. Last summer we had an invisible whirlwind pass through the pits on a beautiful day. Models tossed every which way, but fortunately most avoided landing on something hard. The pilot who had his model in the air with his back to us did not really notice it at all and was rather surprised when he turned round after landing.

Mark Elen Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Thanks Gents for your comments. I like that Peter. I have been a bit quiet this week, as with the decision made, I have got most of the new wing built. I was never going to be happy, bodging the old one back together, maybe if it had solid coloured covering, but with the transparent scheme, it was a non starter. It has been a whole lot easier building it the second time, as it was so recent, I haven’t been scratching my head and having to work out how to approach each bit. I have also been pushing myself to get on with it with the mantra ‘wing in a week’, where normally, I would ‘leave that till tomorrow’, I have been thrashing it out and getting it done. Anyway, it’s well on its way. Hopefully, this one will last a bit longer than 1 day. Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Elen Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Hi Peter, Hope you are keeping well. Here is a photo of MK2 wing. I have made a better job of this one. I took the opportunity to tidy up a couple of bits that I wasn't happy with on MK1. I'm just hoping that the wing retaining holes will marry up with the t-nuts in the fuselage.

Paul C. Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I'm betting that they will line up exactly 👍😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Miller Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I have a method of ensuring that the holes line up. I take short pieces of nylon bolt and make a point on them using a pencil sharpener. These are screwed into the Tee nuts and then the wing is lined up over them. When you are happy press down and the locations are marked on the wing. Simples!!

james brough Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 hi folks that was a brilliant build to follow has any one done an electric motor mod yet on how to alter the front end for the motor fit up with measurements on the peggy sue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james brough Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 hi peter i am trying to build peggy sue 2 but with electric motor does the motor mount have to have any off center angle on it i can not see any thing on the plan for the ic motor i am new to this game have only built the ohmen regards jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Some comments on electrifying this model are on this page of the original thread. Moving the bulkhead forward 25mm as suggested seems a good idea. No doubt Peter will comment about about motor offset ( or lack of offset) in due course.

Peter Miller Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I nwever use any offsets. Peggy Sue certainly does not need any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Note the comment on page 1 that the slots for u/c wire are staggered so 1 wire passes the other rather than that shown on plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
