RE: CMP BF109F BUILDING THREAD
Hi
Kahlog's correct there is a link earlier, I downloaded it several months ago.
However the scan is not the best as some of the pages have been truncated in the scanning process, it didn't worry me because I had almost finsihed the plane when I lost the manual.
I have now found my original manual and if the copy on line is missing too much I can do another scan for you.
I suggest that you read the earlier threads, most builders (myself included) made many changes to the design particular with the tail wheel, control push rods and location of the throttle servo, the quality and safety of the spinner and engine cooling
Another issue that crops up is that the plane has a tendency to nose over on the ground, if you put the U/C in exactly as per plan the wheels are only 50mm in front of the CoG but it is relatively easy to get them another 30 - 40 mm forward without affecting the appearance or lots more if you make major mods
I found that if you follow the plan and mount the mainplane then the tail parallel to it they are visibly not square to the tail fin.
I installed the tail wing first square to the fin and put a thin build up of body filler and silicon under the wing seating to make the main plane square to the tail.
I suggest that you just put it together and look at the alignment before you commit.
One final hint, be careful squeezing the fuslage, the the fiberglass is very thin in several places particularly on the bottom just behind the wing .
It cracks easy on the tight radius, I had to put a thin layer of glass cloth inside in a few places after I cracked it a couple of times.
Let me know if you need the manual
