Just need a minute of your time to publicly Thank Mr PTULMER for his unselfish sharing of his plans for the DNU.
I have been a lurker here for over 2 yrs, even though I don't fly 1/2a stuff. You guys seem like a great bunch of guys! Did some 1/2a CL stuff back 35yrs ago.
And not to start a war or insult anyone but my DNU is electric.

AUW is 11 oz with 3s, (10.5oz on 2s)
24gm 1700kv motor spinning a 7x5 APC
1 HS55 (ailerons)
2 5gm servos for elevator and rudder
15amp esc
GWS pico rx
I did change a few thing on this build, 1/16" ribs, 1/8"x1/4" TE, 1" ailerons, 3/32" tail feathers, LG, etc
.
This thing is a blast to fly, very stable, and goes where you point it!
Maybe not as fast as yours (OK not even close speed wise) but a good 50 with unlimited vert.

Anyway, Thanks PTULMER for your time and effort!
And with the help of the internet, everyone that shares their plans and information.

P.S. A couple of pictures, one of the covered airframe, and one of the completed plane sitting next to my scratched LAStick.

We don't think of them as electric - rather as alternative fueled rotary motors.

I doubt yours is very slow - a 1700 KV on 3s with a 7x5 is going to be pretty quick when running flat out; probably quite a bit faster than a Sure Start.

Both your planes look real sharp! Thanks for posting the pics.

Yes, the DNU is a blast to fly. Mine goes nuts with a Norvel .061 on it. PTUlmer hit the nail right on the head with this design.

Funny thing is both planes have the same electronics. The little one is a bit too fast on 3s.
Makes you forget to breathe
