RE: Composite-ARF Integral, kinda build thread
 

Hi Nickolas
I want to try to explain.
In inside a part is divided off for the landig gear etc. This part falls exactly on the chin cowl. Thereby this breaks.
If this inside part has closed (Adhesive tape fastens, nothing can happen.
This should already happen by ARF.
I think also the fuselage is heavy. What I should do. [:o]

RE: Composite-ARF Integral, kinda build thread
 

I recently received my ZN Line scheme integral and my chin cowl too was pushed in, email JP Zardini and he replied that he would get one out to my ASAP...hopefully alot quicker than it took for the kit to arrive!!

Ι see..there is nothing you can do about the weight, the plane is light even if it is on the heavy side. [8D] Your fuselage is in total about 35gr heavier from average if not mistaken, but your stabs are 20 gr lighter from average, so in general you are ok.

Don' t worry about the chin cowl just try to re-inforce it from the inner side. Both of the composite planes I have bought, X-TREME Composite OTOP and CompARF Integral had broken chin cowls...

What kind of wheels fit into those skinny wheel pants?

What size and where can I find them? Are they durable?

Thanks

Colin.

RE: Composite-ARF Integral, kinda build thread
 

In my case, I was using a pair of 2-1/4" Dave Brown's narrow lite wheels, and it lasts about 30+ flights before needing the wheels replaced. The second set of wheels, instead of going with the same setup, I went with a pair of Bolly carbon wheel pants so standard wheels can be used, and this pair last for 120+ flights already, and that is what I am going to do with the second Integral also.

RE: Composite-ARF Integral, kinda build thread
 

I don't use wheel pants.
I can never seem to keep them on the plane. I fly on very rough grass runways that tend to tear the wheel pants up and off.

Besides they are extra weight!

Hi Harris

I like very much your design
Claude

RE: Composite-ARF Integral, kinda build thread
 

hi Harris!!
Very good looking plane!!! In my opinion you must paint your canopy red cause silver is not so good in the air..

dapan

RE: Composite-ARF Integral, kinda build thread
 

I was surprised how well the silver works in the air. I thought the same thing until I flew mine.
Silver worked just fine.

Very nice paint scheme. What font did you use for the word, "Integral"?

Thanks!
Verne

RE: Composite-ARF Integral, kinda build thread
 

Claude: Thank you again for the advices there was very usefull!!

Dapan: Thanks for your comments, i don't think i will change something on the sheme of the plane

Verne:Thank you. The type of the letters at word INTEGRAL is the (king).

Happy landings Harris

RE: Composite-ARF Integral, kinda build thread
 

Do you have a link to the king font where it can be downloaded online? I can't find it.

Thanks!

Verne

RE: Composite-ARF Integral, kinda build thread
 

The Word INTEGRAL was made by a friend of mine who cut vinyl
words for advertising.
The type of the word was in the program of his computer for vinyl cutting.

Happy landings

Microsoft "Rage Italic" seems to be close to the original Comp-ARF font (if anyone is interested).

RE: Composite-ARF Integral, kinda build thread
 

GR8!!!!;)

RE: Composite-ARF Integral, kinda build thread
 

That'll work - thanks!!!

Verne

RE: Composite-ARF Integral, kinda build thread
 

What do you think of this?

RE: Composite-ARF Integral, kinda build thread
 

Yes, I like it . . OR then there is these . .

All a personal choice . . and I think they will all look good on the finished model :)

Hi Morten
Do you fly a Pletti in your Integral

RE: Composite-ARF Integral, kinda build thread
 

Hi Guy's,

I am just starting to collect all the bits and pieces for my Integral and was wondering what is the best stuff. So would be interested to here all your views on the following.

Best Servos (JR / FUTABA)

Control Horns (I don't like Carf ones)

Control linkages (Clevis, ball links)

Push Rods

Wheel axels / Wheels

Pull Pull material (Steel or Carbon thread)

Electric motor mount options

Canopy / cowl mounting options


Thanks

Hello to all,

The original font pour " Intégral " is President on Corel Draw.

It's Ok on Microsoft too.

Hi,

Tonight I started from the easy stuff...putting some stickers on my plane. Hm they look a bit small, I may have to replace them with bigger ones. What is your opinion? Also please check a potential sticker on the left panel of the plane, what do you think?:)

Every piece of hardare, electronics, engine etc. has been collected with care and is ready to be installed.

The very, very positive thing is that I started to fancy the colour scheme...:D

Regards,

Nikos

Oh here are the fuselage stickers they were not attached in the first post...
