Chris Reid Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 As the original designer in 2007. I think I remember Carlos at the time as contributing to my build blog. Which I am not finding at the moment. I am talking with Basil. Any other builders out there. If I can help anyone. Let me know. Chris Reid.

carlos rangel Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 I created my own plans based full size drawings. Again, is my plan to have working leading edge slats and flaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlos rangel Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 Hello again! I just received more building material as finalise the challenging fuselage design, sorry, no CAD nor computerised stuff, just old fashioned pencils, rulers and such. as I said before, due extensive traveling and work constrain the project was on hold for a long time. I intended to build it 1/4 scale which it would have been 150 inches wingspan but at this size the Pioneer would be hard to transport and handle so I decided on 22% rather that 25%. I find the cowling extremely small to cover the engine but that is fine if the engine head is exposed some, we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted Monday at 10:59 Share Posted Monday at 10:59 Do you bond the aluminium or rivet some or all of the structure? Something like Sikaflex or more traditional modelling glues? Always amazes me the size of the Pioneer. Looks like a traditional light aeroplane until you see a picture of it with crew in situ!

No gluing at all in the whole airplane, every skin will be riveted to the structure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
