Default RE: Black Magic VF3 Build Thread


I know, I know..... but I can't help it.

good news my #2 VF3 build fuse is almost complete and after the cajun nats, I'll get busy with the write ups. I've got the fuse done to the point of aligning the wings, which means I only have to do the lower cores and blocks, and glue on the cowl - but it's moving forward after my long break from the shop.

so here is my second version of the VF3 foamie, On #1 I tried some stiff but heavy 10mm depron on the fuse and some heavy pushrod guides etc.... It did fly well but with the weight at 16 oz it didn't 3d well.

on the v2 version I've enlarged the elevators and rudder, went to a 6mm depron fuse and the basic airframe is already 1 3/4 oz lighter. I'll be going with a smaller esc, and a smaller rec. so I am aiming at less than 14 oz RTF. It's a big foamie with a 39" wing and fuse.

Should be flying it at the Cajun Nats....

enjoy!
