This the plugs for my new Typhoon Q500
Made of CNC from MDF then sanded and sealed with 3/4oz glass and Skin It Epoxy



daven -> RE: This the plugs for my new Q/500 (3/10/2008 6:40:20 PM)

Is that going to be conventional tailed?

Looks good.



Kevin Matney -> RE: This the plugs for my new Q/500 (3/10/2008 6:51:39 PM)

No I'm going to make it V Tail. Just a lot easer to layup flat.



daven -> RE: This the plugs for my new Q/500 (3/10/2008 7:13:34 PM)

Yes, it would be a lot easier, at what point do you install the torque rods?



Kevin Matney -> RE: This the plugs for my new Q/500 (3/11/2008 1:40:28 AM)

After they are cut and glued back together.Then put them in.



Kevin Matney -> RE: This the plugs for my new Q/500 (3/11/2008 1:56:18 PM)

Ready for paint



vertical grimmace -> RE: This the plugs for my new Q/500 (3/11/2008 7:23:16 PM)

Will this be a new kit?



Kevin Matney -> RE: This the plugs for my new Q/500 (3/12/2008 1:59:55 AM)

Maybe ??????????????



sahartman21 -> RE: This the plugs for my new Q/500 (3/21/2008 12:33:52 AM)

I can't wait. [;)]

Are you going to go for 428 or 424 class engines first?



Kevin Matney -> RE: This the plugs for my new Q/500 (3/21/2008 2:10:03 AM)

It will be ready for both class at the same time.
Typhoon Q500 kit will come 3 ways
1/ Like the Mad Dog kit. Fiber glass with Carbon reinforcement Fuse, Custom Cut Cores and plans an Landing Gear. 424 or 428
2/ Fiber glass with Carbon reinforcement Fuse, vacuum bag wing, and vacuum bag stab an Landing Gear. 424 or 428
3/ Will be a full painted Fiber glass with Carbon reinforcement Fuse, painted wing in mold, And painted in the mold V tail stabs an Landing Gear. 428 only



Kevin Matney -> RE: This the plugs for my new Q/500 (4/15/2008 7:41:55 AM)

I just painted them black pics to come latter.



Kevin Matney -> RE: This the plugs for my new Q/500 (4/16/2008 9:39:26 PM)

here they are

Great looking molds Kevin. Wish I had the expertise. I'm still cranking out balsa and foam wing Q500's.

Your V-tail will also have less drag. Especially if the 110 deg angle is at the top of the airframe and doesn't fit in the middle; i.e., on top, forming 3 angles 125/110/125 with the fuse. Verses junctions further down the fuse forming angles of 125/55 and on the other side 55/125.
\ /
.| Three angles 125/110/125 (the .| represents the fuse. I had to put the period in to force the formating)

.|
\ / V-tail further down. 125/55/block of wood/55/125. The two 55 degree angles create more drag than the 110.
.|

.|
\|/ V-tail at the bottom, more drag than at the top, 55/55/250 degrees.


And then there's __|__ ugh! Very draggy...

[:D]



Kevin Matney -> RE: This the plugs for my new Q/500 (4/17/2008 12:32:03 AM)

Yes the V Stab will be on top of fuse.



Kevin Matney -> RE: This the plugs for my new Q/500 (5/1/2008 5:56:11 AM)

Just painted all black and wet sanded and starting to buff
