Hello my friend:

At the moment not is possible, I will work in the molds in the summer, them I hope to have molds of fuselage, wings and fins. But now not, sorry.

Regards from Spain.
Carlos.

Hello:
here you have a pair of photos of tank inside the fuselage, this fuselage is in construction for this reason I not have installed the front woods. It's possible that you need make some modification in the woods in the front of the tank.
Carlos.

Sorry, I forget the price.

60€ = 80$.

Hello All
I would like to get more information to use a single vertical tail in Hotspot. Stability is ok ? construction problems ?

I wish all a happy new year and a good start for the saison 2015

Diggin' from the grave... I bought a virgin hotspot kit last week, so currently shes in transit. Not sure if its a new version kit yet. Lets hope it is assuming few, if any, first generation kits are still around! I'm planning on molding this airframe and making composite wings/tails to boot! If you're interested, PM me:)

Hello Robson, seen the plane in the picture fly and there wasnt any stability problems. This modification makes the plane look a lot different, but it also doesnt give any better flight characteritic.. The biggest issue in doing this is as the surface area must be bigger than a single standard hotspot fin, the construction should be very rigid and also the anchor point in the fuselage should be reinforced, As the standard twin fins of the HS are not prone to fluttering and are very practical I didnt seen this mod many times since.


Cant believe that I took this picture almost 10 years ago!

While trying to find a project for this winter season..hmmm....My hotspot seems like the perfect candidate.. :cool:

turnnburn 02-24-2015 08:07 AM

I am in the process of radio and equipment installation on my rebuilt and repainted Hotspot. While I was at I added full (inner and outter ) gear doors and I am mostly pleased with how they fit and look. It was previously powered by a very old AMT Mercury with estimated 16 lbs of thrust. I now have a brand new Jet Central Rabbit with approx 23 lbs of thrust for it. I would like to ad a smoke system but that wont happen till after the initial flights, if it happens at all. Hoping to have it flown in the next couple of weeks.

I also have one never been started kit on hand still.

I would be interested in a kit if it doesn't break the bank

Hot Spot reflex: Can anyone comment on the ver. 2 with reflex? Was the reflex simply added to the wings, or was the fuse modified as well? Did Graupner do this, or was this something that was done aftermarket? Is Air-Tech Team still offering the airframe?

Thanks,

Greg

Here are the pictures of the wing root, i know they don't tell you much without a proper reference point. But if you want i can trace the outline of the root airfoil on some paper, scan and send it to you. If you need any more measurements just let me know.

@Carlos; I'm not using any extra screws on the fins, they are just wedged between the fuse and wings. Maybe the flutter just becomes an issue once you add rudders? Or maybe i'm still too slow to have problems with it.
Regarding rudder servo's, you might want to look into the MKS DS6125 servo, full alluminum servo case with titanium gear train, absolutely zero slop and almost double the torque of similar servo's.

Regards, Bart.

Bart,

Can you send me a tracing of the wing root?

Thanks,

Greg

Anyone?

Randy M. 03-04-2015 10:59 AM

I wouldn't worry much about the reflex. Just be prepared on take-off. Make sure to have plenty of trim available. Maybe put about a quarter inch in for test flight.

Fun to watch George. Its facinating to see how much those tails flex. It appears you have no rudders correct? Did you reinforce them?

Yep no rudders on this one.No need. Yes if you noticed the inner red painted side of the fins …you can see the wide reinforcement strip.That is kevlar tape vacuum bagged with fibeglass.
Kevlar reinforcements also in the main fuselage . Build for speed and for p-160 :)
