some pics!

first i added some smal pieces of ply to make it a bit stronger behind the firwall.
u can see how the drawing didnt fit. the mount i'm going to use ....and all in place with engine ..just dryfit so far. I also cut out a bit more off the engine room !

Rune, Looks like there is plenty of room up front. What engine is that?
thanks, Tom

hi!
yes its plenty place ...engine is an os 140 rx!i have moved the firewall ca 10 mm longer back than the plans say ..but yes ...no problem with the room

Nice. I'm going to try to find a Temptation for a winter project. I hope someone has one put away they decide not to build.

Tom
i dont know if it sold yet ..but it is or was one in the us that a friend off mine had there ...kit that he was going to sell ..look at one off the links i posted some place in this tread...maybe ur lucky ..i think he wanna 250$ for it

thanks Rune but, with having to replace my privacy fence, buying a generator and other hurricane related expenses, I wwil have to wait a while before buying one or my wife will turn that funny color and her head will spin around!

hehehe ok!
so u was hit hard by the hurricane? i have seen some pics on the telly from difrent places over in the caribean ...looks terrible ...but it gets nice when its over !

I was pretty lucky all things considered. I live about 250 yds off the beach and have a big condo bldg. in between so I just got my fence blown down and some minor roof stuff. There were a lot of people not as lucky though.
I will keep my eyes open for a Temptation this fall though, I saw one fly at the Summer Tangerine and liked the way it looked. Good luck with yours.

Hi !
got my balsa from LoneStar today...looking wery good ligth and nice from 11 to 15 gr for 1 sheet off 1,5 mm !
Rune

As an FYI I know where there is a brand new Temptation, all built with a Webra on the front. Just insatll Radio and servos and go fly. Ditto for a Focus-2 in very good condition. please conatct me @ my e-mail address.

Hello!
Got some work done today!
i have got the wings sheeted done some work the past weeks to get the foam cores ready for that job!
i use Casco Polyurethane glue ..don't have the stuff for vacuum and epoxy ..so does it the old fashion way!
as i don't have a table that is good enough in my home i use one at my work!
the pics talk for it selves i should think!
i used also some glass which was layed on the cores where u can see the marking from root to the tip , this glass is used here in Norway to reinforce walls in the joint for the fiber plates before painting, its a very open type .
at the top to weight it down i used over 200 kg with cu wire .

Thank for your reply, Rune.
I did not get your message, I do not think the e-mail and Private Message function works too well, had problems with this before.
My e-mail address is: [email protected]
Best regards,
Magne

ok Magne...i got mail from u on this adress [email protected]
but then i save the other one!!
but that with perm. magnets i think i posted here as a PM...to bad if it not working well

waht i tried to get thru was this .. be carefull to take the rotor out of a stator with P.magnets we repair a lots of smal and mediums sized (0.25Kw-100Kw are they bigger the usually have winded field) dc engines at my workshop and to take them out we slide in a steel bar simultaniouse to short circut the feild in the stator if not we have experienced that the field in this engines and also Tacho generators have a bad habit to get weaker.

just a quick reply before rushing out transporting kids...phuuuu

have a nice weekend..any flying this days?
Rune

Could someone please tell me the width of the firewall. I read somewhere some of the drawings weren't correct.

hi!
look at post#26 and see how my firewall ended up...
sorry dont have the drawing anymore...but start whit one i cardboard or thin basla
Rune

OK thanks Rune. Is that the Ola mount you are using? If so, where are the blind nuts placed and how does it attch to the fuse?
thanks

Hi!
the blind nuts are inside the mount, and i fasten it from inside the fuse with unbrako screws (m4) and that it also the case on the engine side.
And yes its the same type mount that Ola describe.
