What kind of plane(s) do you have there?

sir crashallot

one was an edge 540 profile so i was told which someone wanted to use balsa blocks to mount the engine to. i threw the fus away and im using the wings and tail of it on the miss amlelia which was plan built around the 80s so i was told. the delta wing in the back ground my mate bought as we went halfs he also ended up with a part built biplane. just about to put some more pics up

sir crashallot

im starting on rebuilding the wings as they were built anyold way, some of the ribs are damaged some of the ribs dont even line up, the cut outs for the airlerons dont match they have gaps of up to 20mm and the airlerons need reinforcing as they were built form 1/16th balsa[X(]

Well, after all that work it better fly, just balance it on the wings CG and have fun with it, not like it costed alot of cash to do.

sir crashallot

My Feedback: (8)

Big rudder requires requires expotential, good thing your getting that, other wise it can get real hairy, real fast on the ground.

sir crashallot

yeah i realised that with my razzle 3d that i used to have, almost cartweheeled it taking of after a gust of cross wind hit the plane put rudder in to correct it next thing i new plane was off the ground almost knifedging at no more tha 6 inch off the ground i got a round of applause as people thought it was a stunt i was trying they didnt see the fear in my face when that hapend

Don't worry. I got a House Of Balsa Super Decathlon that I thought I was going to finish last November. It glares at me every day until I do some work on it. Tiny nuts, bolts, screws, glue, fiberglass, and parts that I just got done fabricating all just seem to disappear the very second I need them [X(]. It probably hates me!

sir crashallot

i got to be honnest the way that thing hits the ground and bounces makes me think its fake and when the wing breaks of theres a noise like a twig breaking somthing like that would go with a right crack

planebuilder66

My Feedback: (8)

Yeah, I mentioned that it looked fake to you too, it seemd like it's too grainy a video, and the bounce factor really adds to the fakeness of it all. But the link it brings up of that bipe ditching it in the lake,whoa, that ain't fake!
