RE: ESM 82
ORIGINAL: Spychalla Aircraft
I finished the mount design for the Sierra Giant Scale ESM Hawker Hurricane Gear today. The modification is not that bad. I plan on making a reto-fit kit with parts and a detailed step-by-step instruction with pictures. It starts with slicing the sheeting and pulling the rear mount out with a pliers. A new mount is marked for T-nuts and epoxied in place. Once mounted this gear is much different from the ESM gear in that it will rotate so the wheel is flat to the bottom of the wing when retracted and then rotated to the proper straight position when extended.

Also, I plan to use an OS200 4-stroke. Has anyone else done that and have they any advice to offer?
Many thanks,
Ron.

RE: ESM 82
Thanks Paul! That is really good to know.
As an ex-pat Brit (I originate from Scotland) I have always wanted a Hurricane so I am really looking forward to this one.
Also - I love your Russian paint scheme, super job there!
Thanks to all who have contributed to this thread - it is really helpful.

This aircraft is going to be my winter build and I plan to use the Sierra retracts. Was the mod kit and instructions ever made available? If so, where do I go to buy?
Also, I plan to use an OS200 4-stroke. Has anyone else done that and have they any advice to offer?
Many thanks,
Ron.

RE: ESM 82
Hi again, does anyone have Ty's cockpit in the aircraft and have pictures of how the reworked the servo trays to make new ones? I cant seem to figure out where to make the new servo trays to make it work. If you have pictures that would be fantastic!

RE: ESM 82
I saw the video, I understand that part, you need to remove a good chunk of the servo trays so that the cockpit has room, and then you need to rebuild the trays, so my question is does anyone have pictures of their rebuilt servo trays?

RE: ESM 82
Here's the pictures of what I have done, & also one of the reason why I have to cut my mates lawns for free !!
.
I have filled his spare room with planes when I ran out of room at home[X(].
If posible I would mount them forward of the CG, however with the Hurricanes big wing the extra weight up front to balance hasn't been an issue.

RE: ESM 82
Ha!, See what you mean about the boots 
.
The carbon fibre rod is the antenna, I have a hole drilled at the top then the wooden antenna I made up has the rod passing through it with a peice of dowl in the bottom of the tube, I then have a small ply brace on the bottom skin with a small hole through it & the glass fuse, a single screw locks the rod into place & holds the antenna in, this way I can remove the antenna if required ( they are always getting caught on things arn't they).
You can see the antenna on the Hurricane in the picture of the room.

RE: ESM 82
I am starting to put the wings together, and I noticed that along with the wing joiner they provide, they provide the wooden dowels. Did anyone beef these up to something a bit thicker or just kept them as they are?
