RE: CA Model XURAMA BIPLANE Build Glow Powered
Thanks Jim!! here it goes...
So lets get started.. first here is a list of all the components weigths justout of the box
- Fuselage 660g
- Top hatch 32g
- Top left wing 115g
- Bottom left wing 114g
- Top right wing 113g
- Bottom right wing 118g
- Left stab 48g
- Right stab 47g
- Rudder 31g
- Landing gear 134g (both)
- Wheel pants 18g (both)
Ok now to the fun part, the fuselage is meant to be electric, so no chin cowl to have acces to a glow engine, so first I will make one. the engine can be mounted from the top without a chin cowl, but I like having easy acces to the engine.
First I marked the fuselage where to cut the cowl, next I used a X-acto saw blade to cut the fuse, a little at the time, it takes some time but with a little patience the result is great and I only losted about 0,5mm in the cut. as I cut I taped the cutted portions to make the work easier.

BTW The chin cowl looks very big on the pictures but it is same size as any other...
