RE: Calling all Stars Wars aficionados

I wonder how packing tape might stand-up to the old heat gun. If it shrinks at a low enough temp. then covering an "open cell" foam & balsa object like the potato chip might be possible.

RE: Calling all Stars Wars aficionados

RE: Calling all Stars Wars aficionados

I see. With all the radio gear and gas tank I don't think I would get enough flow through the fuse to have effective lift to support the nose. It would be cool to do away with the canard. I am...

RE: Calling all Stars Wars aficionados

Espresso,
I have no idea what I am looking at. What are you trying to explain? Is that in lieu of a canard? Sorry, but I am confused.

RE: Calling all Stars Wars aficionados

It is pretty heavy. It comes in at 4lbs. 11oz dry.

The wings are 1/16" balsa over ribs. I decided to build per plans to prove out the design. I have found weak spots in the fuselage and plan...

You might be right about electric being the way to go. My cg was so far aft it imidiately went into a few flips before landing on its back, during both test flights. I haven't landed too many...

RE: Calling all Stars Wars aficionados

I suppose I could do the same with the canard. Good idea. I need a ton of wait in the front anyway, I could probably use 3/8" thick acrylic shape it and flame polish back to clear. I just won a...
