RE: Black Magic v2 builder's thread! *Updated*
Well, if you look, everything is in this thread somewhere. But it's so deep it can be hard to find. Pete C sent me one that was condensed, but it needs to be gone through and updated. Every time I add something though, the pics go out of whack. When I can get it updated and sectioned off, it will be on the web site. I've only been trying to get that done since January.......LOL
Here's a few pics of the OS tank set up. It's mounted on rails with rubber bands (or whatever), then one line from the vent goes directly out the bottom. The main pick up line gets a T fitting, and one line off the T goes into the side of the plane to a fuel dot for fueling. The other line off the T goes through a filter and directly to the engine.
The YS is a little different.
Wheels, I use Dubro treaded lite flite 2 1/2". Bolly f3A small pants, CH long aluminum fixed gear axles.
There's a carbon fiber shortage worldwide, so wing tubes are going to be an issue. They'll be here though. However, let me stress that if you decide to use an aluminum tube, use a 1"x30". It's much more heavy, but the 7/8" aluminum tube is more likely to bend under the Gs this thing creates in a snap. Just FYI....
And Wendell, sorry it took so long, but the elevator linkage runs almost exactly along that fuse center line (the one marked when you first make the sides). Fr the exit points, have a good look at the plans and lay down a straight edge so that with a control horn sticking up 1" from the bottom surface of the elevator, the rod follows straight to the top of the servo. the entrance point is right on F9.
