Hi Guys,
Well i will be watching this thread closely! Amir, where did you get the glass fuz from? is it a kit or have you designed and took the mould? i take it the wings are just a foam core, what kind of stenghening are you going to do to it?
So many questions eh?
I have scaled up the Nick Ziroli Bearcat plan up to 102" i have modified Centry Jet retracts for it, havent started yet, so this my give me insperation!!
Keep up the good work and keep the post going...

RE: giant scale f8f bearcat Thread
hi dave
the weight Should be 18-20 kg
about the canopi
you have no idea ,how to do the canopi
perhaps like this: [link=http://www.flyhi.org.il/vacrondelba.htm]http://www.flyhi.org.il/vacrondelba.htm[/link]
its in Hebrew ,but you can understand from the pics, how to do , home made vacuum forming.
use with vacuum cleaner.
here is Translation by Google for the Article:
Description The principle of the method.
Method Name: Design Bwakom - "Vacuum Forming"
Boards Flsteim common method used: According to - V - DC PVC (transparent), polystyrene - Polystyrene, I - me - ace - ABS, polycarbonate - Polycarbonate. All materials belong to this family of materials Htrmoflsteim. I mean, can be processed by heating cause material softening. After cooling, the material and receive the new form. Most commonly used materials in the form of panels or curtain, in commercial plastic sheet, Perspex, etc.. PVC sheet minutes too common materials, art supply stores, and graphics (slides thick).
The method is based, if so, by heating plastic sheet, Mtihth on the model in the shape of the part requested Oshaibt air curtain between the model. Shaibt air causes a sub - Click relationship between pressure atmosphere outside the facility and hanging model. In this situation, suspended curtain now received the form of model for a while, cooling the material. The next step is to extract a sample part is requested, cutting remaining plastic flying model and adjusting the model.
Sounds complicated? Actually a simple process and can be performed in domestic conditions as stated.
Means necessary.
Wakom box.
A box of wood or plywood on all sides ×טומה pierced at the top. (Illustration 1)
Frame tent.
Wood frame or plywood and inner teachability appropriate outside of the wooden box with a space of 1-2 mm. (Illustration 1)
To create a source of sub - click.
Domestic vacuum cleaner. As Shsoab stronger, you can produce larger parts of a greater material thickness.
Model section.
You can design the model by filing with instrument carving block it or sapling, or copying by the plaster cast in the original part.
Plastic sheet material.
Thickness and type of material will be chosen based on requirements of section strength vacuum cleaner.
Source of heating.
Electric furnace for home heating sheet.
Getting production. (Illustration 1-2)
Create a box of wood or plywood thickness 10-15 mm on - according to the desired size (in accordance with section Lmimdi Hsoab and limitations.) Height box will be about - more than 50 mm diameter pipe vacuum cleaner. Dfnot the box has a well-paste with plastic glue. There burn the surface of each box the upper surface Kdhim diameter of 2 mm Ovmroohim of about - 10 mm. After creating a box around Huakom have to paste the surface Hmnokb seal (you can use caulking used to seal doors and windows. Mdfnot one box has a drill with drill - come in a glass pipe opened vacuum cleaner. It is important that the sealing instead, because "Briht Wakom" will prevent this from היווצרות Sub-click on the sheet provides a model to attract.
The tent has a frame to produce salty thick wood or plywood of 10-15 mm internal Cshachlko cut to create a framework Shlomo (Illustration 1). Have to adjust your frame to match Lmimdi and inner box + 1-2 mm space.
Pipe water drawer
Kdhim 2 mm diameter of 10 mm Bmroohim
Kidoh and align pipe vacuum cleaner
Gasket glued the edges of the box
3
Manufacturing:
1. The authors hoover box (do not run it yet and not to forget friend electricity). Placed the model on the box, in the center of the surface Hmhorr. (Illustration 3) is desirable Lhgbihh the model number by Dskyot millimeters thick.
2. Cut sheet plastic surface Bmimdi frame.
3. Some paperclips hanging the frame ends with a gun a chance.
4. Heat the oven frame with a curtain (not in the "grid"!)
Warning! Please check each time the status sheet to prevent over-heating the material catching fire.
Have to work all the time with the gloves to prevent being.
5. Cshiriah softening soft rubber in a similar situation should be quickly put down on the - on the term model in the center of the box. (Illustration 4.5). Just before placing a sheet, you must run the vacuum cleaner.
6. Have to wait in this situation (drawing 5) As - 30 seconds to cool down the material.
7. Now you can turn off the vacuum cleaner to extract the model from the resulting. (Illustration 6)
8.
Finally, have cut the remaining plastic part and the resulting flying model.
Summary.
Proposed facility will serve you to the production of a variety of plastic parts Ltisnim getting low professional quality. Although manufacturing facility requires investment of time but if you can Keep the models to produce spare parts are available in minutes.
Good luck.

RE: giant scale f8f bearcat Thread
Well i wasent expecting that! thanks for that Amir,
I think you would have to have something a little special to mould such a large canopy? the plastic would stretch so much down the sides of the canopy it would be very flimsy, the old Royal Corsair ones were like that.
Your A.U.W. sounds low, shame you were not closer, you would save me a lot of balsa bashing!!
Keep up with the progress,
All the best,
Di n Dave....

RE: giant scale f8f bearcat Thread
Interesting project
Two questions:
1 Where do you get this package?
2 Do you think the landing gear is going to stay in the wing with only the gear plate glued to the foam without any other support to distribute the load?
