which planes are you getting zimbo? i can't wait to get mine. i guess its justy because where in different countries it takes so long. i crashed my katana 3 times now and the epoxy is really adding weight.

Chris,

I am getting the Extra 300LX. I can't wait for it as well!
You've only crashed your Kantana 3 times?!? I cant count the number of times I have crashed my IFO. I need to repair the left flap so I can get some more practice on it before the Extra comes.

When is the maiden flight going to happen?

RE: Young Guns Program

RE: Young Guns Program
 

Hey levi have you sent out any kits lately I was woundering when I was going to get mine.

RE: Young Guns Program
 

making my own landing gear....

Pic 1. Set up the foam in the right places and glued them in place. They're supposed to absorb more of the shock so it won't mess up the other foam.

Pic 2. Carbon rods glued in place forming an "X"

Pic 3. what i did here is right after u glue in yur carbon rods, take a piece of some push rod and bend it in the right direction. Get floss and wrap some around the pushrod and the carbon rod. Use some Thin CA and the floss really soaks is it up. Next, slap a gob of epoxy to make sure it really strong. Then just slide on yur wheels and retainers.;)

It added about a little less than a quarter of an ounce. Around a fifth of an ounce.

TTYL,
Andrew T.

RE: Young Guns Program
 

Looking good Andrew!
So when do you think you're going to maiden it?
Do you have any drawings for your own landing gear?
Thanks,
Zimbo

RE: Young Guns Program
 

hey 3dandpatternflyer,
are your undercariage strong enough to handle grass? i had something like that in mind for my katana but didn't bother because i flew from grass.

RE: Young Guns Program

RE: Young Guns Program

RE: Young Guns Program
 

What do u mean? I just got the idea from a friend. It works great. The picture below is him with his self designed Yak. The plane on the right is George Hick's plane. Notice the landing gear. (Picture from SEFF)

I had basically the same setup on my foamie Yak. Worked great and I had no problems.;)

RE: Young Guns Program
 

What is the young guns program? What kind of deal did you get when you buy your planes from 3d foamy? I want to buy a foamy so I may get one from there.

Brian

How do I join young guns and how young do you have to be ;()

RE: Young Guns Program
 

If you're under 16 drop an email to Levi at [email protected] and tell him what gear you have and he'll give you a gift certificate to get a kit off his website.
He is moving house right now so if you email him now you might not get an answer.

RE: Young Guns Program
 

Don't worry. I think I can fabricate my own sorta thing from your pictures. I should have bought the landing gear off Levi.....[:@]

RE: Young Guns Program
 

hey,

I just maidened my Cap 232 yesterday! It flew GREAT!! I had to fly at this really small baseball diamond, so i couldn't really fly that long. Other than that, this thing snaps like crazy, and hovers great. Will try to get a pic of it flying.

Did any of u get your planes yet??

TTYL,
Andrew T.

RE: Young Guns Program
 

i emailed levi last week and he said he sent the kits the day before. the reason the are taking so long is he had to set up his workshop in his new home. the kits should be here shortly though.
