I try some thing new. I wondered how hard it would be to place a viper wing on a Mad Dog Fuse.
It needs 0 in the front and .125" in the rear with the wing all the way forward. And just mud up the wing saddle with Microballoons and epoxy.
I'm thinking of redoing a Mad Dog and make a new fuse mold if any one wanted one?

This took me all of 15 min, And now on to the Microballoons and epoxy

watching this one...[8D]

What if I made a new mold of the Mad Dog to fit the Viper wing.Would you be willing to pay $65.00 and shipping????

How about having the Viper tail and gear fit also.

If the landing gear is 1.25" wide. and if the stab is made out of .250" balsa it will work

Hi Guys
It needs 0 in the front and .125" in the rear, with the wing all the way forward.
I put a a pro smart level to check and this is what it needs, now I can mud the wing in.
Pic to come later.

Here is the new pics

Here is adding a reused old tail. and Prime painted

And painted Red to match the wing. Will fly it at Caps race this week end

All I need is the number stickers and a trim color. The weight is 3.8lbs

Kevin, great work i must say. i think you need a REP in Australia to get these fuselages selling down under. let me know if your interested.

Here it is done. the weight is 1/2 of a oz over.

Kevin,

Great looking racer! I can't wait to hear how well it flies.

Good luck at the Caps race.

Looks great!

I know there will be a lot of Viper fuselages that will be retired when persons go to a Viper Dog!

Went to the field to fly today the Viper Dog. Started out with a 0,0,0 degree airplane. Guess what happen??
It flys 0,0,0 Thats it no trim what a great set up. See you at Tom Scott  Race!!!!!!!!!!

I had a mid air with Tom Scott and lived to fly another day,

so, are you producing these commercially yet? And does the standard Viper tailplane fit?

Workings on the plug right now. went to set the wing saddle to the Viper wing .I 3 wings and all 3 are different has any one run across this????
The wings 2 Red and 1 white.The red wings are the same, and the white is different

yes, and twisted wings too

All 3 wing are not twisted

What is different in the wings? the cord? shape? IMO I would leave the saddle a bit oversize and have the users pot it in with some microballons for a perfect fit. I have yet to find a Viper wing that is perfectly straight. Some fly OK with just a touch of trim... but I have gotten that several that were so bad that I had to crack the trailing edge and reset. Looking forward to seeing the fuse as I believe it would not only be good for 424, but also as a quick and inexpensive way to have a decent 428 racer for local racing.

The shape of the airfoil the 2 red ones are the same the white one looks like a different airfoil altogether.

Well the million dollar question is... which one is better! Wonder if the white one is just a bad one that got past quality control? I cannot imagine that the sheeted wings come from two sources prior to covering.... but what do you expect for $70 covered?

dan

any chance of doing the same with the dawg-gone-it fuse?

Also, what sort of pricing for fuse/composite tail? Shipped to Australia?
