RE: 1910 Hudson Flier Build Thread

The plane may have indeed entered into PIO.  It's just that I had enough altitude for just one oscillation ;)

RE: 1910 Hudson Flier Build Thread

On the 1910 original, according to the best research we could do, the rear stabilizer was set neutral, i.e. parallel to the thrust line.  However, it should be remembered that it is not a flat...

RE: 1910 Hudson Flier Build Thread

Hello again.

As you can see on the webcam on the website, the Sopwith Pup is on the table getting a new set of wings and more scale like landing gear.  Not much left to go there.  Next will be to...

RE: 1910 Hudson Flier Build Thread

John,

Thanks for the words of support and encouragement. (Everyone has been so supportive.) The CG came in less than the 40% and I left it there but it was not at 30%. I think I will move it...

RE: 1910 Hudson Flier Build Thread

I'm not addicted to this hobby.  I can give it up any time I want to.  I just don't want to.

A Proposition....

In spite of me trying to talk him out of it, ARUP wants to build a Hudson Flier. Inever intended this to be a kit offering (unlike my next project) but Iguess it is reasonable to...

RE: 1910 Hudson Flier Build Thread

I did a lot of investigating when it came to the metal parts.  The tubing and pieces that can be made from strips are pretty straight forward.  The two things that concerned me the most were the...

RE: 1910 Hudson Flier Build Thread

To be honest with you Jim, other than some electrical soldering experience, I knew nothing about this sort of thing before I started this project. It is not really difficult at all. You certainly...

All the black bits are made from brass, either tubing, strips or sheet. Here are some very early pictures.

RE: 1910 Hudson Flier Build Thread

I am of the same mindset.  Too much down travel on the elevator.  You are right that descending can (and probably should ) be done by "less flying" than by attitude adjustment.  Right again in that...

RE: 1910 Hudson Flier Build Thread

You guys are great as were the people at Rhinebeck.  At least for me, this endeavor has generally been a solitary one and the result at Rhinebeck wasn't exactly as anyone would have hoped.  It would...

RE: 1910 Hudson Flier Build Thread

On May 29, 1910, the Hudson Flier flew from Albany to New York City with a refueling stop in Poughkeepsie. That's a total of about 150 miles. A record for the time. It is one of the reasons why this...

RE: 1910 Hudson Flier Build Thread

An interesting time at Rhinebeck. Saturday was ideal for flying this type of plane. After getting settled and ready and after the flight line was very gracious in giving me the field to myself, the...

RE: 1910 Hudson Flier Build Thread

That's me, funky all over!

I did indeed want to fly. With this project, there was a lot of research that went into understanding of the physical characteristics of the plane, i.e. how long are the...

Well it is officially complete. I have had two sessions of field and taxi tests at the field of the Canadaigua Chiefs. (Thanks to all that helped out). The weather was far too windy to attempt a...

RE: 1910 Hudson Flier Build Thread

Well flying is getting ever closer! The plane was partially broken down so I could get it up from the basement and then reassembled in the garage. Today the last of the bracing wires went it and it...

RE: 1910 Hudson Flier Build Thread

ARUP,

Well, doing a quick calc, if my wingspan is twice yours, then the plane should be four times as heavy with the motor scaling up as well. That would put my project in the 91FS range which is...

A Teaser...

When I started this build thread I figured that I would follow the normal build progression, i.e. wings first. In actuality, that is not the way the plane has come together. First...
