The Beech looks terrific.
How does the model fly? Any photos in the air?......John.

Glad you like the baron.I have not flown her yet,as Im not experience enought of a flyer.The CG would be close on what the house of balsa bonanza would be.By building it light and solid the plane with a experience flyer should have no trouble flying it.The next kit that I build I will find someone that knows how to fly this baron, There is a gentlemen that works for a large model company that would do this for me if I wanted him to.I been told by some of the customers that they want to build theres for display and paint them up like there real barons that they own. untell later.Dennis.

hello dennis,
am i correct in seeing in the pics that the props are counter-rotating? what motors did you install? thanks again art

airwalk

Hi Art, The props are counter rotating.The motors are scorpion motors with there speed controls.I have yet to experement with the props and motors.Right now I have up graded the fuseloge mold. Thanks Dennis.

airwalk

Got a couple of photos,of the new fuseloge mold with the rear dorsal fin installed.This should help in putting the plane together,and make for a weight savings in the rear of the plane.

Dennis, I'm afraid I missed the size somewhere in the thread. What size airplane are we looking at here for the kit you are going to produce? Also, what will be included?

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian,The baron has a 50 inch wing span.Right now a parts list,im looking at the main fuseloge body,rear molded stablizer, one piece wing,made from fiberglass and carbon fiber.All of the detail will be molded in,like the fuseloge.Two molded fiberglass and carbon fiber engines.These will have all of the detail molded in,like screw areas, bottom removeable vent doors. Top air intakes,detail plating. air conditioner parts will be molded separate. Windrows,speed shield will be included.Small details such as side step. top fuseloge details. Rear stablizer and rudder control cylinders.I can supply the true turn spinners at extra cost.These are special made for me. Retracts will be included,they are robart made. This will give you a idea of some of the parts listed.There are more, Thanks Dennis

Toke the new baron fuseloge mold apart today,and everything looks good! Hope to lay up a new fuseloge body this week.Then I can test fit the rear tail cone and nose cone for a test fit.I,ll post more pictures as I make new parts.

airwalk

Can't wait Dennis!

I layed up a new fuseloge yesterday afternoon,Put it in the heating chamber over night.I plan on opening up the mold this morning to see how the new body turned out.Im taking my camera along to my shop,which is 22 miles from here.I,ll eather post pictures tonight,or tomorrow night depends if I have to make another fuseloge today.I also can,t wait Scott.talk to you later!Dennis

airwalk

Pulled the new fuseloge today.The body turned out really light and strong with all of the new detail molded in. The only thing is I needed to do is add carbon fiber inside the rear tail.So I layed up another fuseloge today,to try and improve these areas.I,ll know more tomorrow when I pull that body out of the mold. untell later.

airwalk

Pulled the second baron fuseloge this morning,and it turned out really nice.The carbon fiber in the rear tail made the tail section stronger.The dark sections is were the cardon fiber is molded in the body.White primer will cover these areas later.All of the detail is clean and crisp.The customer who owns this fuseloge should be happy with this baron body. The rear stablizer is also fiberglass.

airwalk

Got a few shots of the inside of the wing and fuseloge,to show the controls.In the wing the front servo controls the ailerons.middle servo controls the retracts,rear servo controls the flaps.The bottom of the fuseloge,you will see two front servos.One servo controls the rudder and turning of the front wheel.The other is for the retract of the front wheel.The rear servo controls the rear stablizer. Hopefully these pictures will give the modelers of what the control surfaces look like.dennis

airwalk

Here are a few more pictures of the bottom of the retracts in the wing.The retracts are controlled by rods.The bottom of the engine housings support the electric engines,the engine housins are bolted on to the wing with a wing bolt.Last shot shows the wheel brake detail.Untell later,Dennis

Airwalk, that is some absolutely beautiful work!!

thailazer

I agree with Custombuiltrc..... One of the cleanest retract installations I have seen. Great work, especially considering the size of the ship.

Dennis you are a menace; how can i call myself an aeromodeller when i see skills like that put to use? I hope my wife doesn't see any of your models or she will be asking what i have really been doing in my shed.
 cheers and great work.

airwalk

Thanks for the nice complements guys! I have been trying to play catch up on other projects for the last month.My wife told me to get caught up on one project at a time,which I have been doing.To many projects and enought time in a day to do them!
