dont bother with the tank position on the 50 - not worth the aggro.

With a pumped engine just push to back as far as it will go - ie between the wing cheeks.

NOW ITS BIGGER....... now its not..............

nice pics Archie

I HAVE MY BUILDING BOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Got it half an hour ago, insulation board cut to spec £10!

Cannt wait to get started!

Shahid

well stop bloody commin on here and build the f'in thing!

pot



kettle











black

what does that mean? if its got sumfin to do with me needing to do the same and build it, im afraid to say ive done all but the chamfering on 1 aileron, covering and the rest of the raido instalation. then ill be done................

so thats a test flight Thursday evening then....

cant fly on thurs in our club[&o]

i need to cover the thing first, then order in my servos

i'd order then cover while waiting, but then that just makes sense

i am
im ordering covering tommorow hopefully and getting some servos ordered tommorow aswwell

We cant fly thursdays as well, what servos are you using Ian, I gots 3004's on tail and 3003's on everything else. Hoping someday to upgrading to 9202's all around and something fast on thottle to improve response as the Irvine is limited to the FPS 148 I gots on it in the Capiche testbed.

148 on throttle. 3010 on ailerions and elevator and a 3050 (i think) on the tail

How has everyone fitted there carbon canopies! I had screws in mine and tape but it ripped off mid flight today!! [:@] and what had happend was the screws had ripped through the carbon! I am thinking about using silocone maybe!!

Rob

rob use the screws with washer heads on them they wont rip through the carbon with those,thats what ive used and touch wood no probs.
mike

I was really interested in one of these...
until I saw the price and converted to Aussie dollars....

around $417.00 plus postage for a short kit?
sorry but i still have a few marbles left...

Island hobbies needs to outsource to malaysia or something...


Mitch.

On my Capiche 140 carbon canopy I have used Trimline tape.If you use this idea please make sure the surfaces of were it needs to stick is clean.

you could buy a plan...

Well im building the wing and pics to come soon but I think I will stop where I am (gluing false trailing edge WST) because I still aint happy if it straight or not, it seems straight and the board checked out but I still aint 100%, any tricks for finding out if it is or not? Thw top of the wing is flat to the board and when I put a long metal ruler against the bottom spar it didnt lie flat???

Thanks

Shahid

Shahid it wont!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The wing tapers Just build it

I may have misunderstood you here Malcolm I know it tapers wing section thickenss wise (thats where it gets dihedral from, right? The variation in thickenss&gt but if its a constant reduction in thickenss towards the tip it still should lie flat on the spar? I will have to show you guys a pic.

Ok this aint the actual pic but its a quick drawing I snapped up

The ruler lies flat for a portion then it all goes miffy

the top of the wing is flat, the bottom aint.

theres very few people in the world that would even notice a slight difference even if yours is curve, not straight from root to tip.

Ok so it does have a curve then GOOD PHEW

I was thinking that it had a constant tyaper not a curve interesting, I was just thinking twas warped. cheers phil.

elliptical dihedral that waht they call it?

shut up shahid

shahid

Baron - does the 50 have the same section throughout the wing.

YES ish !!

Same section but it morphs in thickness.

i meant I'm not sure it has a curve persay, but to get all things right the top of the wing is flat, the dihedral is made by the angle on the bottom, it shouldn't matter if this is straight or curve flying wise, if the top of the wing is flat then due to the excellent CNC work the bottom WILL!!!!! be right.


unless it's the FF wing
