Hi:

I would like to share with you my latest build. A Tiporare 120. Why 120?, Because its the 111% enlarged version I got from Don Turnock from Eureka Aircraft. At the time (about 2 years or more) Don only had a partial kit offering the foam wing and stab, plans and semi kit but was kind enough to calculate the remaining needed wood I would needed to finish the plane. It is now included in his list as a standard option.

Although I do not have the complete build I want to share some pic through out the build. The pictures are not in order but I will give you a brief description:

Tiporare 120
Span 72.25
Length 63.375
Power OS95 AX with Macs Pipe
Servos JR8411 on Elevator (elevator has a bearing bellcrank from RC City for double elevators) and Ailerons, Rudder JR8611 with pull pull system, Throttle JR4131 and gear JR 3421
Radio is a JR 12X DSM
Gear is Robart springdown

Construction is very straightforward, not for the beginner, lots of sanding,not much info on the plan but basics and no building manual (lots of guessing). Incidence and correct angle measuring on anhedral stab gave me a hard time. I just broke the engine a week ago and finished balancing last night (a bit nose heavy). Plan to test fly my Tipo this weekend.


If you have any questions I will do my best to answer them for you. Thanks.

Christian
