Anybody know anything about this aircraft build from plan ?

I downloaded a copy from http://www.karcs.co.uk/ looks fairly good, would like to build it, tried to contact Dan Marlowe from the email address on plan but was returned "sender unknown".

Anyone know of him or the plane

Hi Dan is a friend of mine . He divorced last year and has moved since . He belongs to the same club I do so I will let him know you are looking for him.

Tim

I have been looking at that plane for sometime now. I like the looks of it!

I have a set of those plans as well and have thought about building the plane. Looks like a lot of fun.

Can someone post a F10 3-view, or indicate how to view their plans in the dxf format.

What format do you want them I could maybe resave them in autocad R12 .dxf or similar

Not sure about the wing centre section dos'nt look too strong, would like to see a built one or speak to someone who has built one.

Xairflyer,

Thanks for the 3 views. Interesting planform, reasonable wing area centered on CG. Do you know off hand rough span and length?

Span 55" length 61"

Don Marlowe's F-10 plans have been available on the US RC Jet Command site for sometime. Go to the plans page [link=http://198.31.251.112/ducted_fans/EDF_plans.htm]here[/link].

There seems to be a lot of interest in this... I too downloaded the plans and would really like to build this as a future project. I even plotted out all of the sheets full scale so that I could have a nice set of plans to go by as well as make templates. So much to do... so little time. I would just really like to see a finished model or even better yet, a video.

I have been unable to find anything about this model, really keen to build something for my os91/dynamax fan, so I thinking about drawing up my own plans of something very similar, more scale like of a F5/F20. I have a cnc router in my workshop so cutting out the parts will be easy.
Have also thought about posting a message asking for some experienced plan drawers to do something in exchange for me cutting out the cnc parts. Maybe could get someone else to cut the foam wings, sort of joint project to benifit all.

I have the CNC Foam cutter, and laser cutter.

Dont know if anyone made a start on this plan, I left it for a bit but back on the game now.

I have redisgned it a bit to look more like the F5 side view anyway as I did'nt like the nose shape.

need to order some wood and start cutting

I saw this and thought I would reignite it. I currently have the plans at a laser cutter and he is finishing the files to cut. I am stumped on sheet 5. What are these parts, where do they go and what are they cut from? I came across these plans and can never find an arf or like thats affordable, so I decided to give this a shot.

Is this model intended for a D/F setup or small Turbine? My Gold 44 would fit perfectly in there
This would also make a nice size EDF for the Stumax 110mm fan.

Hi Tim, Tell Dan to PM mewhen you talk to him. We use to fly together when he was living in Virginia Beach. I've taliked to him maybe once since he's been in Florida.
Steve

its ducted fan. I think the wings would need some kind of reinforcement for turbine stress

Will you or the laser cutter sell kits?

My Comp ARF Spark is 63" long with a 48" span power is this beauty:

I dont own the rights. I sent the laser cutter the plan files I downloaded because I can't cut straight lines with a guide. They might cut a set for you to, but you would have to contact them.

eddie at www.lazer-works.com - (I had to correct the url, it will be the right site now)

Need to study the drawings again, but looking quickly I think they are the hatch's made from 1/32" ply

Still interested in doing something with this myself, I have a OS91/Dynamax fan sitting needing a home, snag is the time as I have just started on a 1/2 scale bleriot !

I am wondering if sheet 5 is a plan for ducting and some other parts? I keep starring at it and my head hurts! I might have to cut them out of paper and play with them.

Is this F10 still available somewhere?

The links above don't seem to work for me.
