So, here we are, just over 3 days into the summer holidays and I bored. So, what do i do. I find a knife, introduce it to my old cougar and rip the covering off

"Now what do i do", i ask myself. "i know i'll BODGE IT"

So i cut a hole in the top of the wing. put a few tows across the grain and WALHA. I sorvo hole in the top of the wing :stupid:

Then i covered 1/2 of the wing, then i run out of the covering.

The clear blue will ber lined with dark red.

I know it looks a little tatty now, but before you know it it'll be PROPER BO!

Now the whole point of this 'project cougar bodge' is to make a plane with the cg as far back as possible!

So where to put the elvator servo?

Well here.

I'll keep you informed

Not much done rud servo in.

Also ive kept my options opento make a bolt on wing

I cant cover to save myself, :idea:i may get someone to do it for me

Ian

hmm.. a friend of mine put his battery down the fuz quite far, maybe about half of the moment. The plane was an absolute dog, only thing it would do nicely was a bunt! With the cg moved forward it is now quite a machine.... u wanna see the flat spins!

Im now gonna scrap the bolt on wing.

Nathan: Well, ive got anouther cougar 2000, this is a kit version which i bought 2nd hand for 25 quid
So, im going to experiment............LOL

Its qutie heavy compared to the ARTF version. Not half as good.

I'll be doing it over the entire holiday, so im not goin to rush it :stupid:

I'm goin to get some mor covering today.

Ian

Ok, nothing to lose then Keep us all updated when it flies in particular!

Whent down to the local model shop today. Choose some colour (yes colour, NOT color :stupid: )

They're all solarfilm,

Clear blue over the ribs

Dark red sorounding the Blue (top)

Flurecent green sorounding the blue (bottom)

Heres a pic, the colours aren't cuite rite in the photo

Ian

What do you thing if i chop the tips off the wing?

Found a new place for the elv. servo, right at the back!

I round a space for the rudder servo aswel

Heres the outher half of the wings ribs covered.

Now, i chop the tips

And this is what it looks like

PS can you yell wich wing was cover with a proper iron

thats a yankee trick, i dont know why they do it!!
less wing area and more drag, the tips make the ailerons more effective

jeesus, you aint wrong!!!

nice idea, direct linkage. put your servo grommet in the right way up!(rolled end toward the mount)

i dont know what youre talking about

heeeeeeeeeee heeeeeeeeeee, shamooove motherf(_)**ers.
gonna do some naked ice schkatting, check ma bad self heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee heee!

hahahahahh, gotta love avid merrion!

whats this for? inflight mixture!? sandbag jettison!?

just like me , gotta modify! bed time now.
shamoooooove motherf(_)**ers, heeeeee heeeeeeeeee

LOL

The servo whole in the ing is now gone and i have now attached bolt on cannards

CANNARDS!!!!!! on a Cougar?!

Yeh, LOL

There just behind the UC and under the wing. There detachabe so i can take em off if i need to

then they aint cannards you've got a biplane LOL

I'll send in a pic sometime!

if they are under the wing, they are not canards!

why dont you make a cougar canard.
put the wing on backwards and c of g three quarters of the way between the wing and tail towards the tail-if that makes sense.

put the tail on bacckwards and buy a pusher prop.
dont forget to turn the tank around so it flys forward.
mount the undercart back to front, ie mains at the tail 'end' and a long skid for prop clearance at the wing end.

not too much throws on elevator. give it a go, i might try it soon- i got some ideas!!

oh no.. please dont encourage him !!....

its a shame we got those threads closed down, seems like double standards sometimes with the amount of advertising here.

getting some of those s3010 servos for the rud/elev of the catfish.
6.5kg @ .16 seconds. ripmax price £23

I can get em for the price of JR 591s

I wont try that canard cougar. I dont need to wrek any more planes doing inverted prophanging. ive have just bought the Doctors Piper Cub for this.

i supose i could make i T tail cougar.

Send in some ideas.

Ian :stupid:
