So, here we are, just over 3 days into the summer holidays and I bored. So, what do i do. I find a knife, introduce it to my old cougar and rip the covering off :p "Now what do i do", i ask myself. "i know i'll BODGE IT" :D :D :D So i cut a hole in the top of the wing. put a few tows across the grain and WALHA. I sorvo hole in the top of the wing :stupid:

Ian.W -> PCB part 2 (7/27/2003 8:29 PM)
Then i covered 1/2 of the wing, then i run out of the covering. The clear blue will ber lined with dark red. I know it looks a little tatty now, but before you know it it'll be PROPER BO!

Ian.W -> PCB part 3 (7/27/2003 8:35 PM)
Now the whole point of this 'project cougar bodge' is to make a plane with the cg as far back as possible! So where to put the elvator servo? Well here.

Ian.W -> PCB part 4 (7/27/2003 8:36 PM)
I'll keep you informed

Ian.W -> PCB part 5 (7/28/2003 1:39 AM)
Not much done :( rud servo in. Also ive kept my options opento make a bolt on wing :rolleyes: I cant cover to save myself, :idea:i may get someone to do it for me Ian

Welsh3D -> Project Cougar Bodge (7/28/2003 2:53 AM)
hmm.. a friend of mine put his battery down the fuz quite far, maybe about half of the moment. The plane was an absolute dog, only thing it would do nicely was a bunt! With the cg moved forward it is now quite a machine.... u wanna see the flat spins!

Ian.W -> PCB part 6 (7/28/2003 2:15 PM)
Im now gonna scrap the bolt on wing. Nathan: Well, ive got anouther cougar 2000, this is a kit version which i bought 2nd hand for 25 quid :) So, im going to experiment............LOL :D Its qutie heavy compared to the ARTF version. Not half as good. I'll be doing it over the entire holiday, so im not goin to rush it :stupid: I'm goin to get some mor covering today. Ian

Welsh3D -> Project Cougar Bodge (7/28/2003 3:36 PM)

Ian.W -> PCB question (7/28/2003 11:46 PM)

Ian.W -> PCB part 8 (7/31/2003 11:12 PM)

Ian.W -> PCB part 9 (7/31/2003 11:15 PM)

[QUOTE]Now, i chop the tips[/QUOTE] thats a yankee trick, i dont know why they do it!! less wing area and more drag, the tips make the ailerons more effective [QUOTE]I cant cover to save myself, [/QUOTE] jeesus, you aint wrong!!! [QUOTE]Found a new place for the elv. servo, right at the back![/QUOTE] nice idea, direct linkage. put your servo grommet in the right way up!(rolled end toward the mount) [QUOTE]PS can you yell wich wing was cover with a proper iron[/QUOTE] i dont know what youre talking about ;) [QUOTE]PROPER BO![/QUOTE] heeeeeeeeeee heeeeeeeeeee, shamooove motherf(_)ers. gonna do some naked ice schkatting, check ma bad self heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee heee! hahahahahh, gotta love avid merrion! [QUOTE]I sorvo hole in the top of the wing [/QUOTE] whats this for? inflight mixture!? sandbag jettison!? just like me , gotta modify! bed time now. shamoooooove motherf(_)ers, heeeeee heeeeeeeeee

Ian.W -> Project Cougar Bodge (8/12/2003 6:14 PM)
I'll send in a pic sometime!

cabanestrut2002 -> Project Cougar Bodge (8/13/2003 3:25 AM)
if they are under the wing, they are not canards! why dont you make a cougar canard. put the wing on backwards and c of g three quarters of the way between the wing and tail towards the tail-if that makes sense. put the tail on bacckwards and buy a pusher prop. dont forget to turn the tank around so it flys forward. mount the undercart back to front, ie mains at the tail 'end' and a long skid for prop clearance at the wing end. not too much throws on elevator. give it a go, i might try it soon- i got some ideas!!

Archie -> Project Cougar Bodge (8/13/2003 3:32 AM)
oh no.. please dont encourage him !!.... :(

cabanestrut2002 -> Project Cougar Bodge (8/13/2003 3:39 AM)
