Default RE: Dolphin Fun Fly 50


Here are some more up close pictures for you. Overall with the help of my grandpa (cap,n) what I did was added an extra piece of ply to the inside of the firewall and added angle stock on that. I put an extra piece of balsa on the outside just to level it out. I did some reinforcement where the wing slips in and added a larger plastic bolt to hold the wing on and reinforced where that screws into. I added an extra piece of ply under the landing gear that extends a few inches to the front of the plane, I didnt go all the way to the front with it because I am going to make a hatch where my fuel tank is. Overall there is enough room to turn this plane to glow and with my glow engine it surprisingly balences quite well. As far as the motor size my Tunder Tiger .46 with the tuned muffler is going to more power than I will ever need for that plane, but hopefully this weekend I will be able to test her out and see. Of course if the weather cooperates. I you have any more questions just let me know and I will also let you know how the plane flys!
