Status: offline 		Just came across this thread and thought some of you like to see the B-17 I am building right now. It appears to be a fiberglass copy of the Royal/Maratuka. It has the same exact dimensions, so I am assuming a Royal/Maratuka was used as a plug for the glass parts. I have not been able to locate any info on this model, so this is all speculation on my part. It has a fully molded glass fuse, with foam wing and stab cores. The wings and stabs have molded glass covers to put over them, and the control surfaces are framed and covered with moulded covers.
I am doing a build log on RCG, since I am building it with electric power. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1417449

Wow! Electrics! That baby begs to have a cool sound system. Since there are a number of real '17s flying, it shouldn't be too difficult to get a sample of all four of those P&Ws running. There should be enough room in the fuselage especially since the electric system ought to weigh less than the IC engines. I think that's correct..right...electrics should weigh less?

making good progress on the build.

Fellas, Ive come across great P-38 plans with templates. Now people like PCK dont want to cut them for me. Does anyone out there know of anyone who cuts this kit. Ive never tried to cut my own kit before. If I duplicate the plans is it as easy as cutting out plans, super imposing on wood and then cutting?

I need help on this one.

Thanks.

Dave

Status: offline 		I've got three flights on my new Royal B-17 now. It has those very big .40's on it now so I got 4 Master Airscrew 9x6 3 bladers to fly it with. It does very well, and the 9x6's are pretty close to scale. I got the wieght down to 14 pounds. The wing is thick and with over 820 sq. inches it handles the weight well. I am getting better with flying it now, meaning slower and more scale. The OS .40 LA's run absolutely perfect. No need for electric motors. Will get some pictures from our Independence day fun fly to post here.

The 24' has 4-OS .15CV's. The 17' has 4-OS .40LA's. The 17' will go straight up and 3D with all that power even with the 3 blade props. The refit will include mounting 4- OS .15CV's. All eight engines ran perfectly today. As always. Gotta show up the Leckies .

Status: offline 		Just got my plans and cowls from USWing at EBay today! Very nice. Just in time because I was going to start the rebuilding today! I for one am glad that USWing makes repo plans and parts for Royal kits!
I wanted to say that the Royal B-17 is a really sweet flyer even at 14 pounds. I hope to shave 2 pounds on the engine change alone. The OS.15CV's should just fit flush with the new cowls.

Status: offline 		Here's a good way to ruin a model that is already built and flyable! I do it all the time. It is now just a junk pile. But, it will come back better than ever! I had to literaly rip a lot of the stuff out to make it "right"(my way). I have almost $1000.00 into this now, Yikes! But if I do not crash it it will last over 20 years.

Status: offline 		Hi guy's I am about ready now to start some fibre glassing on the B17 with .6 weight glass any tips on using either epoxy or polyester resin.Seems we don't have as much choice over here as you do and the only good one from what I can see is made by Deluxe Materials they stopped doing a polyester resin but I have managed to track down 2 cans.So any advise anyone can give would be greatfully recieved.

Status: offline 		The Stearman is a lovely plane. I built a Sterling U-control Stearman with an Enya .35 in it in 1968. Phew! That was a long, long time ago. I built it while student teaching in Flint, MI. I lived in Philly and Flint, MI was a long way away. To make matters worse, I was engaged to my sweetheart (still married to her) so I was miserable and lonely. I was rooming at an older women's house (grandmother old) and she was wonderful and let me set up a model building desk in the living room. It was a tiny shotgun house so space was very precious. I was building a model a week and ended building something more challenging, the Stearman. It came out nice.

Unfortunately, I knew nothing about flying U-control and thought you needed to give it up elevator to make it take off. We were at a Labor Day picnic just after I graduated and got married and were with all of our friends. I asked my buddy if the elevators were up and he gave an affirmative. He let the plane go which immediately took off straight up. It did a wing over at the top, and started hurtling directly at ME. The lines were now slack so I had no control whatsoever. I jumped out the way as the plane re-kitted itself. It was sad and absolutely, totally and in every other possible way humiliating. Needless to say, there was uproarious laughter. If America's Funniest Home Videos existed then, it would have been on it. It was years before I attempted flying anything again.

"There are those that fly and those that build." I am the latter.

Thanks

For the Marutaka kit (which I believe is the Royal's twin), the down thrust was -2º to cancel the wings +2º angle of attack, and the side thrust is Right 1º for the right hand engines and left 1º for the left hand engines. I used the Dave Brown mounts with thrust plates behind to generate the two angles. I don't believe the downthrust was built into the stock engine rails in the nacelles automatically.
