Gaudius Firewall Template?
 

Does anyone have a template of the firewall shape for the Gaudius? I'm putting a Gaudius together to fly at the US Nationals next month in Muncie and it would help speed along the project if I had an existing firewall outline to start from... A PDF file or even a photo would be great. It'll be powered by a rear-mounted Pletty 30-10 Evo.

Thanks, Jerry

Jerry,

You REALLY, REALLY need to put Ola Fremming's wing design on that airplane. Believe me, it works! Have fun at the NATS.

Tom has a point. I have flown the plane with both set of wing the oringal and Ola Fremming wing that Mr. Tom Miller cut for me. What I found that with Tom's wing the speed ranrge is a lot better. Plane is very stable at slower speed and at high end also. Before if you got past a certain point it seem to hunt for heading. Jerry what class will you be flying at Nat's , I'll be at site four if you would like to see the other wings.

Hi Jerry,

This might help. I used the 30-10 Evo in mine. My design allows swapping different motors. Construct the firewall out of 1/4" ply, then cut an 80mm 1/4" ply circle and mount the Plett to the circle, and the circle to the firewall. I laminated both parts with carbon.
