Silver Wolf Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Hopefully this one will get built a little quicker than the chippy, although with two wing's it's asking a lot. Would be grateful if a mod could make the graphic above the header please. Late for start of class, at least I've made a start. It will be powered by a laser, not sure what size yet, possibly a 1.20 or 1.55 Will get the tailplane and elevators done next, wings will follow once Danny has done the ground work. But I do need to get some more done on the chippy. Regards SW Edited By Silver Wolf on 25/10/2018 18:20:40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Fenton Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Some lovely neat balsa work there SW, very impressed! Having studied the full size from close up. I am going to re-visit the hinges on mine and change to something with the hinge line in the right place, either Robart or glass board hinges with a piano wire rod, much as Martin F is doing.

Silver Wolf Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Slow progress, but at least progress. When cutting the ribs I have noticed that the edge being cut is not as square as I would like. I normally use several cuts and keep the blade square, but still end up with less than perfect edges. Not really to much of a problem as these will get sanded square, would be nice to get ab better edge to start with. Regards SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leighfield Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I find that even taking great care it is very difficult to get a completely “square” cut, frequently I find that I achieve a different “non-square” angle from one end to the other as well! I keep on trying but very rarely succeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Wolf Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Just a few bits done, have been side tracked with DIY. Servo rails mounted and push rod layouts planned, this is something that I normally leave to the end Modified F1 for Laser 80 Getting ready for fun and games with fuselage formers. Not much building done but now starting to fly regular, really prefer to be outside than being in model shop if the weather is decent.
