Hi Guys , sorry it took so long getting back ... been busy coming UP with new planes for you to build ....R&D
GWR, Looks GREAT!!!! GOOD LUCK !!!! I've been using 45degree (lots) of control throw for super aerobatics .... Scares my friends , they won't fly it .... but you get used to it quickly ...."breathe" on the sticks ....hahahahahaa Dual Rates helps immensely with about half the throws for the less experienced ..... Vtol's are FUN , V/landings take some practice ....
Lay2... UFX kit ??? The UF is a kit , then all you need is a wing and tail , and now we've built them flat winged like a 3D .... cool , easy . flies like 3d plane ...

Man, I didn't realize gpw had made it over here... This place may get more interesting, yet

I suppose one of these days I should update my library over at Foamfly.com... Just been lazy I suppose. It's so easy just to upload the files to the thread "over there' and forget about the rest of the world... Heck I haven't even updated my own web page in a while!

Good to see you here, gpw (and the rest of you regulars)

gpw

Gene , lots of questions to be answered here .... and as we have realized in the past , the others are sometimes there , sometimes not .....my words are like manure , gotta' spread em' around ....hahahahaha
Guys GeneBond has an extensive collection of wonderful Blu Flyers that he generously offers the plans free also ....check it out .....FUN STUFF !!!!!!

gpw

Gee!! I sure wish I could post pics here , there's so many planes to show you guys , but this system will not accept my .jpegs (Mac Guy )and that's all I seem to be able to generate ....schmaybe' GeneBond can figure it out ?????
you guys need to build the UP .... simplest plane ever to build(especially the new version) .... fun to fly .....

oops i didnt mean to change the subject gpw
gpw i seam to have a problem in the sticks were i live I CANT GET FOAM ANYWERE i just got 3 motors and nothing to put them on i have a bunch of your plane copyed and printed on card stock and have looked and called ever were and nope no were iam stuck
even the ones that had the fan fold woint ship it grrrrrrrgrrrrrrgrrrrrr maybe i need to make them out of paper lollollol seen a place on the web were i can order a sheet 19x 40 for a out ragest price 22 bucks ooch what do you think oh one more thing i just got 3 motors was wondering what to fit these on in case i happend to just find some here are the motors

300 brushed motor (Graupner)
Acrodrive 4:1 gear drive with low time Acro 280bb motor
MP 5/1 gear drive with low time Speed 300 (Graupner)

lb: Worst case, go to WalMart, and get some foamcore poster board. Like $3 a sheet, and the paper can be soaked off in water. It's solter than FF or Depron, but useable with some tape to firm it up. Check siding contractors, too. They may sell a bundle of FanFold... Don't give up! Check with Lowes to find it within 100 miles or so... Take a trip! Just keep trying... it's out there.

gpw

LB... Gene's right , don't give up the search ....worser' case(ha) one of us could ship you some foam , but shipping is expensive .... especially for foam ...light ,but bulky ??? You're not in the third world , it's gotta' be close by , somewhere !!!!! Let us know if you get desperate ....

Gene , the gallery at Foamfly becomes the logical place to post plans for me now as other places do not accept pics ...and Dan is so nice !!!!!

Wally Worlds' crafts dept is small compared to Rag Shop, AC Moore, Micheals, ect. These places have everything, even hot wire foam cutters.

GWR

My Feedback: (31)

The foam cutters these stores sell are small, hand held units; not much bigger than a flashlight. You couldn't cut a wing with it. I use it to cut blue fan fold.

I tried out the unifuse plans and I have to say that it has great potential for experimenting! I've been getting tired of flat foam fuses, where you just have to "let it all hang out"!
I went with a bipe for my first go with the fuse, it flew, but not great. I think I may have the angle of incedence wrong on the wings. I bent an airfoil in them and i think that may have confused me as far as getting the correct angle of attack. I still need a few more flights on it to see if it's still a success.
Anyway cudos to the maker of the unifuse!

gpw

Beld ... Thanks ,Dude , the Universal Fuselage was drawn to make a fuselage that could be assembled easily , built cheaply , be a strong box for the eqpt ., and be versatile enough to be used in a number of different planes .... Glad you enjoy the fuse design , ya' need any help with the incidence thing , what's it doing ??????
