RE: Let's bash another Somethin' Extra!
looks good OTE! I was leaning towards a Saito 82 also, but my wife and I are looking at a silver Trailblazer at the local Dodge dealership. lol:D

The flag is done! Only thing left is to stripe the bottom of the wings and stab with some 3 or 4 inch stripes and the covering will be done! :D
|
RE: Let's bash another Somethin' Extra!
OTE - I really like the looks of the flag. Also - I was thinking about the shot of the trophy that LJ posted and decided that it's a good thing that it doesn't have wheels on it because it would probably be missing one or two by now!!!!;););)
|
RE: Let's bash another Somethin' Extra!
I'm really looking forward to seeing this one fly!!!

RE: Let's bash another Somethin' Extra!
Your Snoopy pilot is the exact same one that I had in my Somethin' Extra! I sold mine, miss it now from time to time.
Cheers! Jollidude |
RE: Let's bash another Somethin' Extra!
Here's an update (sorry no new pics).
All covering is done! All servos mounted! Still need to make the links for the ailerons and elevator. I did decide on the Saito 82 for power and I just got it today! Been fiddling around with the throttle linkage (the thing I hate most about 4 strokes) all day. Finally got a setup that I think I'm happy with. Unfortunately, since I changed my mind for the power plant at the end of my build and covering job, I had to hack at the left fuse cheek to make clearence for the throttle arm, low end mix needle access, etc... Oh well... you'll have that... Atleast it's not a prized scale project. If that's the only battle scars that this thing gets for awhile I guess I can be happy with that. :) I'll try to get a fully assembled pic posted soon. It'll be a month or more before I can give a flight report... -20 to -30 wind chills here right now. [:'(] |

RE: Let's bash another Somethin' Extra!
I checked for clearence and it seems that a 14" prop should be no problem (might get a little green custom dye on the prop from time to time depending on how freshly mowed our flying field is [8D]) LOL, Mine is pretty green before the field is mowed. Pete |

With exception to a few minor bits (prop and receiver on order, program radio etc...) it is done!
Here's some pics. |
RE: Let's bash another Somethin' Extra!
whoa... don't know what happened with that pic upload... that's a bit big!

That's the first look at the finished side force generators I've seen. The whole thing looks GREAT!!!!

Mr Moderator...
Can you resize the above two posts? If not, can you just delete them? I have no clue what happened... I didn't change a thing from when I posted previous pics. [&:] [>:][:'(]:([:@] |

Doesn't that Saito look nice... [8D] I just got my APC 14x4W yesterday and I've got plenty of ground clearance... Just waiting for some green grass now!!!!!! Come on spring!!!!!!

RE: Let's bash another Somethin' Extra!
Hey OTE,
Awesome looking SE:). I wish I could cover a plane like that. Have any of you guys on this thread ever considered blowing one up in size. I saw one a couple of weeks ago at my flying field, that someone built from scratch. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of it, but it was close to the same size as the largest Hangar 9 Twist and it can fly circles around any size Twist. I don't remember the wing span, but it was large enough to be powered by a Supertiger 2300 2-stroke. Just my two cents worth. Fly safe and have fun!!:D:D David |

RE: Let's bash another Somethin' Extra!
Thanks Ken!
David... Thanks for the compliments... I will say that it looks better in the pics than it does up close. :D I did see a thread on here (it's been a while) where a guy basically doubled the size of a SE and it did look pretty nuts. If I had more time and patience I'd definately give it a go but I don't have that scratch building drive that some other builders have :). It'd be nice if Sig would just up-size the SE in a laser cut kit... maybe 90-120 size??? Note I did say KIT not arf (just incase someone from Sig reads this... lol). |
RE: Let's bash another Somethin' Extra!
This kinda looks like a .60 sized SSE: http://ak-models.com/mm5/merchant.mv...AKM_Laser_Kits
I've been thinking about buying it but I just have too much other stuff to get done first. |
RE: Let's bash another Somethin' Extra!
That looks very much like a 60 sized SSE! Nice price too! I book marked that bad boy... might have to get one someday. (I've got too much on my plate for the near future too [:'(] )
|
RE: Let's bash another Somethin' Extra!
Very cool bashing on your SSE and I like the covering job well done ....Now with your skills on bashing the Contender and the SSE how about putting a "T" tail on some type of kit ? :D makes for great pit talk lol
cheers |
RE: Let's bash another Somethin' Extra!
LOL... You like those T tails don't you Blade.
I'm just finishing the last few touches on a SPAD that we (loganjoel and myself) are going to do a little combat with this flying season. We just have to decide if we're going to do traditional streamer combat... or........ FULL CONTACT (UFC) style no holds barred, no rules combat. LOL :D The last one flying wins (which ofcourse will be ME!) [>:] lol |
RE: Let's bash another Somethin' Extra!
If you're looking for a choice, I vote for a FULL contact!!! But get it on video:D

Sounds like OTE is getting pretty cocky. My plane dubbed "Spad to the Bone" will do just fine with its serated tooth landing gear. Hey OTE, just in case you forgot what it looked like, here is another picture. lol.:D
|
RE: Let's bash another Somethin' Extra!
by the way, streamers are for limbo competitions.
|
RE: Let's bash another Somethin' Extra!
Don't worry everyone - I'll be there with my camera for the maiden combat mission!! This should be interesting. I can't wait to watch these 2 turkeys duke it out!!:D
|
RE: Let's bash another Somethin' Extra!
Thought I'd jump online tonight to see if there was any smack worth responding to... Just as I thought... there was nothing... just like what will be left of loganjoel's spad... NOTHING! [8D]
I figure when I'm done slicing and dicing his spad I'll put my RedBull SSE up for some victory rolls! :D sorry loganjoel [&o] On second thought... no I'm not! [>:] [8D] |
RE: Let's bash another Somethin' Extra!
I guess that comment wasn't answered OTE because loganjoel was working. But I expect a "bring it on" response.:) I hope I'm there for THIS one!!!
|
RE: Let's bash another Somethin' Extra!
We could probably charge admission for this one [sm=punching.gif]
|
RE: Let's bash another Somethin' Extra!
Thats it, The gloves, I mean the streamers, are off! I didn't want to have to resort to violence, but as k9rwt put it, when these two turkeys are done duking it out, all thats gonna be left of OTE's spad is giblets. HAHAHA!!!HAHA![>:]:D
SPAD airplane - $6, Streamers - $0, The look on OTE's face when his spad smacks the ground and explodes into a thousand pieces of smoke and fire and total destruction - PRICELESS!!!! p.s.- anyone know where a guy can pick up a radio jamming device cheep?lol! All joking aside, this spring should be fun. Everyone keep watching for video of the carnage. It should be interesting. |
RE: Let's bash another Somethin' Extra!
I maidened my SE today and considering it was too windy for a maiden flight, everything went well and the plane came home in one piece. No trim needed. One small problem... the stock motor mounts are not strong enough for the Saito... So I'm shopping for a better mount. If anyone has experience with a Saito on a SE... I'd like to get an idea on what kind of mounts people are using.
I only got one flight in that ended in a dead stick... all in all I can't complain. |
