Well, it's been a bit of time but this thread was so good I thought I'd bring it back alive.

"It's ALIVE!!

I have been busy with my GBR3 but for CL not R/C. I never should have left R/C, there's a big difference.

Here's a short pictorial of my GBR3 design.

Dusting Off The Cobwebs From My Gee Bee R 150 https://goo.gl/e6fK6a


Mr DJ

Anyone still following this thread? If so, I decided to pull my Donut Models v2 ARF from Hobby Lobby out of the attic and put it together. I was able to find the online assembly file for the v2, but of course, it's virtually useless. I am trying to locate the hardpoints for the wire bracing. I have decided to use streamline aluminum tubing in place of the wires, as it will still look "period correct" (even for a fantasy design) and be a lot easier to assemble and disassemble vs the wires. But I still need to locate the wing hardpoints. They are not noted on the v2 assembly sheet and are not obvious from a careful inspection of the wings i.e. no "dimples" in the covering, etc.

If anyone has a copy of the v1 assembly sheets OR if you happen to know where the hardpoints are located, I'd really appreciate the help.

Since this design is probably pretty marginal in directional stability, I will be using a FrSky S6R stabilizing receiver in hope that it will damp out some of the "squirreliness".

Thanks in advance.

I still peek in from time to time.

I didn't know that aluminum airfoil stuff was small enough for that flying wire look?

Well,

Like I said, I peek in from time to time. Nothing new though.

My project, an update. I framed the GBR-3 as in this Forum but now I'm making a change.

I'm removing the Novarossi Rex 57R, this engine I will sell. I'm replacing it with an 25-16 electric motor. Yes, there will have to be some major changes. I'll be starting the conversion soon.
