RE: Sukhoi SU-26 MX build

RE: Sukhoi SU-26 MX build

RE: Sukhoi SU-26 MX build

RE: .60 size Pattern Tiporare Build

The Tipo is on hold for right now. I just do not feel energetic and will wait for a better day. I still have some sanding and shaping to do. I have an unexpected epoxy run to get out of the vertical...

RE: .60 size Pattern Tiporare Build

I finally had a humidity low enough to prime the fuselage. I thought that I had done a good job sanding and contouring but that is not the case. I have low spots, high spots and poor contour in...

All of these fillets are a buildup of microbaloons (brown in color ) and 30 minute epoxy. I have no bondo involved. I am goin about this very slowly. The area that is giving me fits is...

RE: .60 size Pattern Tiporare Build

RE: .60 size Pattern Tiporare Build

Attached are pictures of the lower part of the wing. I have sanded it down as can be seen. My next step was to prime but after reading Doxilla's statement I am not too sure about that.

RE: .60 size Pattern Tiporare Build

Vasek,
You may think that there are only three but if you check into CNC machining centers you will find 5 and 6 axes machines and in robots you might have as many as 8.

RE: .60 size Pattern Tiporare Build

ZOR,

I do not disagree with you but the height of the elevator is dictated by the plans so therefore I had five axes to deal with. All of the other items you have defined are within spec as it...

RE: .60 size Pattern Tiporare Build

Well, the wings are glassed and what is left is some of that fun sanding. Then it looks like I need to fill the glass cloth with some wood filler and then some more of that fun sanding. Before that...
