Default RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?

Howdy gents. I think I decided on an airplane. SIG Fourstar 60 sized with a 60-75 sized motor.


Tom, bottom wing of the bipe is almost done. I finally just decided to rig the wing how I wanted to instead of trying to figure out how these filler blocks went. Then unfortunately after I set my dihedral to 3/4" under the last wing tips..I realized the next day (yes I built this wing in 1 day) that my wing was cantered foward like an inverse arrow. DOH. Musta shifted during the 'bending' process. So I took a saw to it, and had to make it all happen again. This time however I had alot of work to do to make a dihedral brace to join the two wings and MANY little pieces covered in about 2 oz of medium CA to strengthen the wing in the center.
The best part of all of this, (yes there is one) is that sanding the leading edge to shape went FAST. I can't believe how much better this turn out than the top wing. Makes me ALMOST (yea right) redo the leading edge on the top wing. I figure after a horrible crash I will redo it then. I figured out how to sand it much better.
So anyway. How's everything going guys?

Got a little great white north thing going in here I see?

Supposed to snow tonight and tomorrow. Didn't get my snow tires on yet. DOH. Oh well, they really didn't help much other than to move forward. With all the hills around here most accidents happen from tail slides and 360x? spinouts. OH JOY I can't wait for all this.
