I'm might just scale up my existing plan to a 68inch span, and build it out of balsa, and bolt a 90 size /type engine on the front. I have a 120 asp fourstroke sitting around doing nothing.

The only hassle is making the canopy and cowl, plugs, moulds etc I have done it before on a scratch built model but its a lot of work for a one off.

I know i know. I was just saying have a look at it. I like it. If, as luke says, there could be a 40" capiche that would be great.

try going the other direction in indoor/park flyers...
if i had to say Malc got inspration from anywhere, well, i'd be looking................

i think that plane is mostly hype. i think you will find that dealers are dropping them

only because of the shipping problems due to the first batch being blown away. i dunno if you've been following the threads on E-zone, but things have finaly got back on track by the looks of it.
it's still a mighty nice looking beast ( even if the productions ones dont look quite as good out of the box ) if the Capiche I ( indoor, get it? ) ends up looking like that... yummy.

1\4" sq [:@] I thought we decided on 1\2" quadrant with the power you have available I think I used the same "old" glue as Sprink [:-]

Luke Did you see that indoor ERR outdoor toy I had at the freestyle?? It IS the mutts nuts!! I only hope the little Hacker Crashpiece is half as much fun

I mailed Todds to chase my Flubber and they dropped it!! No explanation[] Umm from my end the 140 is ready

OK over to you to take the flack now Archie after The boy gives you the nod

I,m off to finish my little 40" toy.

Ultimate Philly baby knows where there are a set of 90 size plans If he can get them to you, you build it from scratch, test fly it and I will make you a cowl and canopy

[8D]

i was just about to ask wheres yours..
i thought Todd was sorted again...
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...5&goto=newpost
go there, todd is there as is the flubber guys...

Ultimate, let me know if your interested. i'll go see the guvner and sort out sommit

I saw it, any info on it. Will it, or has it already been, a RME plan???? looked good to me.

No room for 1/2" triangle, I even had to cut that away on the top RHS (looking at the front of the plane) to clear the Cowl. anyway i used some real (thick) cyano so its bomb proof now (the old stuff with the powder just fell off when i rubbed it with my fingers)

Im of to the workshop to design the next instalement to my indoor toys, if you like the one you got now malk you are gonna luv this one!! some secret disign aerodynamics that alow a much smaller plane than the original that flys better with more pitch resonse and 720 degree a second roll rate if desired (10 times better in roll than old one) and it can take a good bashing (should make you)

Prototype has flown and ali just loves it (recons its the best so far) and to top it off it flys on a standard GWS twin motor £17 and just 3s 340 Li Polys... Cheap as chips

Yes malc i saw the elcetic at the freestyle. Was very impressed!
I am going to have to get one of these, should it be the boy's or Malc's that is the question (if there will be plans available)
The boy's plane sounds cheaper and billiant as well but so does Baron's!
Luke

No its the boys toy not mine!!

I love mine. If The boy has made a better one best you get behind me in the queue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think i just will!

count me in too!

me too, want a lill mo, but maybe this is better

Let me clarify!! When I said " I love mine" I meant my little in out door leccy designed by T boy. Not my 40" baby which aint finished yet

Phew passed the buck yet again

lets start a new thread on the boys little toy

Best you ask the boy?

He aint keen on light weights

Forget the 90 size, people are allready puttin large saito's in the 50. Get your **** into gear and produce a 50 cc petrol you will make a killing !!

both me and Ali both think a 15% biger C50 would be the way to go with a YS 63 or saito 90 etc. all the gear would weigh the same just a bit more wood and covering. would weigh 10 oz more but much more wing etc would fly the nuts. i would deff have one, Ali would probably want 2 (greedy Bas***d)

i know malc but it will be worth it in the end, just a cowl and canopy plug and a bit of scaling up and gigery for the cnc bits. U know it makes sence!!

Barron - Ultimate Philly baby knows where there are a set of 90 size plans If he can get them to you, you build it from scratch, test fly it and I will make you a cowl and canopy


Barron and Philly - yes I'll do it. I'll be happy to build one, test flight, and report . I'll PM you Philly Baby, so we can sort out the plans.

cheers

Chris

Re: the Boys leccy toy. I'm in the process of drawing up plans on the computer as mine got a tad bashed up.
These were purely for my own use as its Daves baby - if he's happy with it I'll post them as pdf when finished.

But!! i think things are moving at such a fast pace with the use of lipoly cells.....take a look at this! Plans freely available.

oh yawn yawn. I nearly nodded off watching that ! Long isnt it !
Not convinced by it though I have to say but probably suitable for the edible engines of this world.

Anyway- it aint capiche 140 related!

We look forward to The Boys feedback on the 140 EP..

Arch...you gotta be joking......sorry back to Island Hobbies stock.
