Kangaroo formers?
 

I have picked up a used damaged Kangaroo, I want to replace all the internal formers as it was damaged on takeoff on the maiden and never repaired. anyone have a pattern for these formers? this is a original kit built roo with glass fuse and foam core wings.

thanks Kevin

Here is the website for Composite ARF:

If you cant find any, make some out of 4mm depron (easy to cut and sand to shape) then trace them down on a piece of wood and cut to shape.

thanks guys, comp arf does not offer the replacement formers on there site, I will just make some templates as Lior advised and cut them myself. I think I will move the gear back as well to help with landing though I never had any trouble with my Rookie II.

I have a kangaroo at home. I can trace formers later this week . they are a pink foam I think.

that would be great, I'm currently fixing the glass damage. I will be using a honeycomb composite material for the main bulkheads and ply for the nose gear bulkhead. any info on cg would be appreciated as well.

thanks Kevin

You can use strips of epoxy plasticine on the fuselage section you want to put a former..just half of the fuse will do and later you can draw on paper the other side by simmetry.

also a good idea is connecting the nose gear bulkhead with the center one , helping to distribute this bulkhead stress on a wider area.

good suggestion, the nose gear will be tied to the aft bulkheads by longerons, these will serve as the basis for the fuel cell mounts as well.
