RE: 5 new plans...

Here's a pix of the fuse sides cut. I still have to cut the rear out to accomodate the horizontal stabilizer. A little trick I do is, when they are flat like this, put them on their sides, bottom's...

RE: 5 new plans...

Here are a couple of pix illustrating what I mean by the '+' and the 'X' motor mounting orientation.

The first picture, head-on, shows the best way to mount this particular motor. On the first...

RE: 5 new plans...

Well, the plans, I don't think, showed any dowels.

I was sort of going to try the 'tenon and screw' method to hold it down. For some reason I have rotten luck in finding proper-sized rubber...

RE: 5 new plans...

Ok, I'll post some hopefully tonight.

A few questions...the sheeting on the wing, is it 1/16 balsa or ply? I sheeted it so far with ply, and it seems very strong, but I think it's a bit heavy. ...

RE: 5 new plans...

I mounted the brushless motor behind the firewall\former #1. I had to make sure that the screw pattern for it was in a 'cross' pattern instead of an 'X' pattern due to the motor leads. I actually...

RE: 5 new plans...

Just some quick stats so far:

I got a scale, and weighed what I had so far: 2 servo's, the brushless motor, esc, about 75% completed wing, fuse sides, 3 of the 4 formers, and 300mah li-po...

RE: 5 new plans...

Just an update...

I finished most of the main part of the wing. I just have to finish sheeting one side of it and put in a few stringers. I still have to cut out the wing tips, aileron's, TE...

RE: 5 new plans...

Ok guys,

A quick update.

RE: 5 new plans...

I checked the instruction manual, and the Hobbico Part number listed for the propeller is HCAQ3260. Not finding any other information on it other than it's 4 3/8" diameter. I did order quite a bit...

I am going to go with electric, using ptulmer's 'ME2' design as listed on his website in the 'untested' plans section. The ME2 is based around the Free...

RE: 5 new plans...

Ok then, some 'non-dumb' questions...:D

1. Does this one have rudder control as designed? I only saw two servo's, one for aileron and one for elevator.

RE: 5 new plans...

PT,

Well, in the large format .pdf, you had two fuselage measurements listed, one that says 6 1/4 (I believe that is inches) and one that says 12 5/8. I believe the 6 1/4 is the distance from...
