I'm with you FuzzyI could also use the article.

I have downloaded the relevant pages onto my PC, after sending the magazine to "Skydanz" - another builder.
I will try to e-mail the pages to you right now.
Cheers - kevin.

Kevin R sent me the original RCM magazine with the KF construction article. I also have a copy of the printed instructions Dennis Tapsfield sent with his plans and they are nearly identical. I will hunt down the printed version and scan them to this site for you.

The 1/4 scale Kingfishers weigh in at 6.2kg or 13lbs, powered by a OS120

Hi Albert

I make a fibreglass fuselage, for a 1/5, 1/4 and 1/3 Anderson kingfisher. more details are available on my web site www.creationsofflight.com.au The plans I have are for the fibreglass fuse and the engine pod etc, plus all the fibreglass parts and tip floats.

Let me know if these can be of any help.

regards

Tim

something about opening a good ole can of worms. if anyone that has built this plane knows where i can get a cowl for the engine pylon, i would appreciate it. i just ordered the RCM Tapsfield plans about a week ago and am hoping to start building after this flying season, if it ever gets here. the weather is crap... i looked on FSI for the cowl, but the only one they have available that i could find was one for a different designer, and was listed as 1/5 scale. if anyone knows the actual scale of the tapsfield plans to be 1/5, that would be awesome. again, sorry for opening an old thread. i guess it's a pretty good plane if poeple keep coming back to it.

perhaps if Timn is still around, you could answer that for me. or someone else that may know.

Hi Crash bandicoute,

I have moulds for the 1/4 scale cowls and rear nacel.  I have built mine with the curved surface on the top which is different to the tapsfield plan but not a problem you just install the engine firewall up side down.

Drop me a line on [email protected] if you want more information.

Regards

if the tapsfield plans are 1/4 scale, i'll drop a line about ordering one. i'm just not sure which size to go with. thanks for the reply and i'll look into it and talk at ya soon.

i got the plans the otherday. wow, there's alot of work. some parts of the plans leave a lot for the builder. they give a 'typical' build-up for the formers, but no patterns for them. i'm guessing i'm going to have to go through and measure everything and draw up my own. the only patterns they give for anything with the fuse are the forward decking and the 'keel' for the fuse aft of the step. any help in this area would be greatly appreciated. and are the wood thicknesses really necesary? a lot of it is calling for 1/4 inch thick stuff. ply and balsa. i've never built anything on this scale before, so i'm not sure if it is. the plans note that all up flying weight and the proto-type came out to 16 1/4 lbs. seems like a lot to me. the papers also say the plane pretty much tries to stop flying if you get off the throttle too much. anyone with these problems? it's pretty much built up all the way through, so really nowhere for lightening holes. could i go with 1/8 balsa for most of it, or should i stick with the 1/4 inch balsa? also, the plans don't say anything about sheeting and glassing the fuse. i saw pics here of it done and was wondering if it was recommended for structure, since it's so big. i know the wing isn't, because it's got cap strips over the tops of the ribs. can i leave the rest of the fuse unsheeted (minus the keel and turtle deck) and cover with moneykote?

oh yeah, if i go for a gasser instead of a nitro motor, what size would be recommended?

Kevin, I know its been a long time, but if you still have the article on the kingfisher, I'd appreciate a copy.

Thanks,
Chuck
