Hello Folks,
I have added some assembly photos of my Allure Bipe. I followed Bryan's assembly instructions on the CK Aero Facebook page. I did not use Bryan's fuel tank mounting, as I didn't have a way to do the cuts from my apartment during most of the assembly. As mentioned above, I did cut a new 1/4 balsa front former and laminated with lite carbon fiber at my house in NC, where I have all the tools (weight savings, the provided one is fine).
Equipment I used:
07-Savox SV-1250MG HV servos, 1-inch control arms (Wings, stabs, throttle)
01-Savox SG-2274 HV, Provided rudder arm on servo wheel (rudder)
01-Futaba 6014 HV Receiver
01-Thunder Power LIPO 2400 mah-7.4V (receiver and ignition)
01-Evolution optical throttle cut module w/LED
01-Jetti switching voltage regulator-SBEC w/fail-safe switch (6-42 V input/5.0-8.0V output @ 12-Amps)
07-Hangar 9 turnbuckles
15-2mm ball links with ball bearing race, wings, stabs (central hobbies)
01-2mm standard ball link (red)
02-2-56 Ball connectors w/ locking sleeve (throttle)
08-Madison Components Neoprene Washers (servo arm hex head)
00-Foamy tape (wire attachment to fuse)
00-Assorted Velcro
00-Assorted tire straps
02-2.5 inch wheels (F3AUnlimited)
00-Deluxe Materials; Carbon fiber tissue (wheel pants, wing saddle bottom and Side molds (Not necessary). I have found this to be a weak point in other designs.
01-YS-185 DZ-CDI
01-Hatori short pipe and header.
01-YS Super mount
02-Bags of green/orange fuel tubing
01-Blue anodized fuel nipples w/fuel crimp (Central Hobby)
01-Fuel dot small
00-2mm Depron (Canopy brace, not required does reduce vibration and some noise)
01-3.25 inch Dubro Spinner
01-Futaba 18MZ WC2 (optional)
I will add more photos as they download..Stay tuned!
I will be looking forward to adding the Alchemy Bipe in Feb 2020.
Best Regards,
Bill Holsten
