Taildragger, are your wings and fins full composite too? Does anyone have an idea where these kits come from?

Regards, Bart.

taildragger21

My Feedback: (197)

No my wings are sheeted foam and wood tailfins.. rest is composite. As far as i know mine is the original Graupner kit

Hey taildragger:

You said that you have the manual. Is it different from the one I posted on the first page? If it is... and it's a PDF... please post it here.

cmjets

Hi:

This is original instruction from Peter Liebretau, it is like Graupner but worse, ha, ha, ha.

Regards from Spain.

Don't quote me, but Tad at Golden West Models use to sell the hotspot kits. that's where I bought mine way back in 2000. Some years later I thought I read that he had composite wings and fins available. If he made them, I don't know how many sets were made / sold.


Does anyone have any photos of the kits being produced today? Would be nice to see if the newer kits have any changes built into the aft lower fuse skin bonding or features to increase fin stiffness.

These are all taken inside aft fuselage, there are no formers behind the wingtube.

Anyone care to post pictures of the turbine electronics & fuel system disposition? I am converting mine from EDF to turbine and trying to find a convenient and safe way to install the additional components. Any suggestion is welcome!

cmjets

Hi friends:

I show you my first Hotspot instalation.

Regards from Spain.

Pump in the gear bay? I was thinking about something like that too. Good way to keep it away from the rx and ECU and there's some empty space there, while the cockpit area is kinda cramped up.
How well did that arrangement work out for you?

cmjets

Hi again:

Yes, this system run perfect, I fit the bank with 2 screws and you can easily remove it from. You can put the smoke pumb down too.

I am working in another Hotspot, I need make the bulkheads for can close it. The nylon hinge is installed in the process of laminate, the door is in carbon fiber.

carlos, would you consider selling just the fuselage? maybe I can buy the wings and fins from taildragger

Hi Randy:

You have a PM.

Hi all

Strange my HS need all the weight in the front??
I have 6000mA battery in front and extra 2000mA in the side of front wheel (Lipo 4000mA for turbine and NiMh 4000mA for rc).
And stillI had to have the fuelpump/ecu in the front/middel of the plane..
I have nothingbehind the airbrake and my 2 liters tank and it is with a light P100.

cmjets

B.S.

Your Hotspot is painted ???

Mine is with Oracover, for this reason I need weigh in tail. Happen same thing with Roo, my last Roo I covered with Oracover for get it more light, but in the end I need put 400gr in tail.[X(]
