RE: Seagull Piper Twin Comanche

Hey Don,

thanks for your kind words, honestly it is easier to just build the project and not go to all the extra work of taking photos and writing the build log so when someone actually takes the...

RE: Seagull Piper Twin Comanche

Yes, it was a little extra work but well worth the effort. I'm a slow (translate - fussy) builder, but the extra modification and stuffing around with the wheel wells only took a few hours and as you...

RE: Seagull Piper Twin Comanche

Hi Kor,

the nacelles are approx 140mm wide, the 2 Stroke 46's just fit, your 4 Strokes will require cowl cutting for the head and rockers. I do agree that the 4 Strokes would sound great but...

RE: Seagull Piper Twin Comanche

Update on final trimming.

Well I had a great day at the field yesterday, a little overcast but hardly any wind. Spent a bit of time on tuning idle mixtures to get both engines accelerating...

RE: Seagull Piper Twin Comanche

thanks Nick, I am not overly concerned about the down-thrust issue at this stage, I am able to trim and fly as it is and only notice the pitch change when dropping the RPM for landing. Since I will...

RE: Seagull Piper Twin Comanche

Maiden day was a success, didn't have any problem with the finished weight of 5.9Kg without fuel. Did require a fairly generous amount of down trim which could indicate more down thrust may be...

RE: Seagull Piper Twin Comanche

Yes, I found the same thing when I went looking for photos of the undercarriage. There were a few challenges to overcome which lead to my "fork out" decision.

RE: Seagull Piper Twin Comanche

Finally, I can move onto the tail section and get some radio gear in the fuselage.

Just when I thought I'd finished all the challenging parts, I remembered I had two more lights to put in the...

RE: Seagull Piper Twin Comanche

Hey Nick,

thanks for dropping in, I'm pretty happy with the way the mains turned out and I didn't have to do as much chopping on the nose gear as I thought.

It's a bit late to do an update but...

RE: Seagull Piper Twin Comanche

Next came the wing modifications.

I started by cutting the covering 45 degrees in from the outside corners of the retract mount back to the centre line of the leg cavity. Then I extended the...

RE: New Twin Commanche ARF

good question, you can use either......... but you will probably need less modifications if you use the 105 degree because the extra 15 degrees of rotation will help get the wheel deeper into the...

RE: Seagull Piper Twin Comanche

That's what I was thinking too, my thought was to cut the covering along the centre line of the retract and then at 90 degrees to that at both ends (probably along a rib line) then fold back the...

RE: Seagull Piper Twin Comanche

good idea on the nose gear, I already have the tricycle set which s a 90 degree, maybe I can exchange it otherwise I will have to go with the sanding option.
