Fuse Plug #2-6 Hey guys, still sanding. I did join the canopy and fuse using the "seamless hatch" technique as before (figure 1). One side is done now I have to make the other side just like it . Then, it's on the make the epoxy fairings. Lastly, the molds! Looking ahead to the future, I purchased a full instrumentation kit from eagletreesystems (figure 2). I've been drooling over this for years but never had the funds to get it. This system can monitor everything: airspeed, altitude, RX voltage, RPM, engine temp, attitude, G-force, GPS position imposed on a 3-D Google Earth map, and more. Best of all, it can TM all this information down to a small screen attached to the TX. I can even download all the info at the end of a flight and play it back on the PC . All this will come in handy for the Modkat prototype because I'll be able to prove the flight envelope with actual data. Figures 1 & 2 More to come, Mods
