Hi all!
This is my very first, and for me, very important thread in this forum! I would be very pleased if someone would like to help me with this.

To the problem: My parents divorced and I just got the uncoverd fuselage and wings with me from my dad before he left! I also forgot to take the stabilazor & tail + all the rudders with me! I can rebuild this stuff If I just got a drawing!



Other things that im confused about is how the vingtips is formed, howto get the two ving-halfs togheter, the CG and how the rudders is attached to the ving!
Does anyone know?

If you contact Chris Foss Designes and explain the problem, they may be able to help you out.

I'm afraid I don't have one myself, but have seen a few at my club, and they go well.

Is this your first plane, or just first kit? Do you know how to fly already?

thanx for the reply
ah.. contacting Chris Foss Designes may perhaps help me!
It's my second airplane Im building myself, I crashed my well-used trainer yesterday becuse I turned of the radio in the same moment as I throwed the plane into the air (lol...)
I can handle my trainers pretty "ok" so I wasent to excited to buy a new trainer, I like aerobatics

You say you've seen a couple at your club, are they hard to fly if you can handle a .40 Trainer pretty well? been thinking about planting a Irvine .46 ABC in the nose.

If you are getting bored with the trainer, then you probably will be ok with the Acrowot.

Things to remember:
- it is not a trainer so is not as strong, so make sure all landings are good landings! (you should be doing this anyway)
- it is not a trainer, so will go where you point it. Trainers have a certain amount of self correction, while aerobatic planes like the Acrowot don't. It is designed to fly more precisely.

The good thing about the acrowot is that it is still easy to fly, and will float in to landings so you can fly nice and slowly.

The Irvine 46 is a good engine for this plane.

I am an instructor at my club and I have no worries recomending planes like the Acrowot as a second plane for younger pilots.

I've just put the two ving halfes togheter with epoxysuperglue, put i seems kind a week with only this (thinking about when pulling a lot of elevator´in quick turns), should I add something to hold the ving halfes togheter?

I also got two Irvine 46 engines, one "Irvine 46 ABC" and one "Irvine 46"... wich one is the best? I had the none-ABC engine in my trainer before.

With foam wings you usually have to reinforce the join with Glass Fibre. You can get strips of Glass Fibre cloth from model shops, you probably need some that is 3inches wide. This you wrap around the join and glue with epoxy.

I am sure this is covered in any instructions from Chris Foss.

as for the engines, are either not coloured red? The latest version is the Mk III so see if either have this on it. It is coloured red (though I think the previous version was too)

Yeah, I bought some nice glassfiberstripes yesterday! It's orginal made for plasticpadding reinforcement, but i guess it'll work just as fine with epoxy (?)
None of my engines are coloured red, they are much older, I guess 5 years old or something by now, way before Irvine started to make them red Well.. I gues Iäll take the non-ABC.

I also have another problem, how do I know where in the ving to borrow the "plastical-ving-holder-bolt" holes? The problem is that it's very hard to fit the holes in the ving to the holes in the fuselage, casue you cant se where to borrow... IF you understand me :P

pardon for my bad english, im from sweden
