RE: Tiporare questions

Not much happening here. I got the new Kaos which I believe is legal for SPA which is in September? It needs the stabilezers put on and covered as well as the ailerons and electronics and it will...

This isn't an Illusion is it? http://www.rcuniverse.com/market/item.cfm?itemid=510848

RE: Tiporare questions

Those look good David. I must have missed/forgotten that you were building one too.
Are you going to glass it?

I'm glad a redesigned mine with wider sub spars so I don't have wheel...

RE: Tiporare questions

I bet it was 'in the last place you looked'...LOL

Joshman123, post some pics when you're done...looking forward to it.

I'm still working on some projects so no work lately on the Tipo.

Rick have you had any problems with the flourescent fading since it was clear coated?

RE: Tiporare questions

David, of course I don't mind if we discuss other Tipo info here. This is more of a discussion anyway even though I renamed it. It will help me to possibly see something I haven't planned for...

RE: Tiporare questions

Thanks Impactiq, that was interesting, especially since I'm building it and don't know anything about their history.

David, I think it would be easier to glue the landing gear onto the rails,...

RE: Tiporare questions

Well David, I thought about making a hotwire to do the job and in hind sight it might have been easier. I cut the spar slots in the left wing, now I have to cut the retract plate but I'll wait till...

RE: Tiporare questions

Ok, I'm going to try to post a PDF of the template I made on AutoCAD today so that I may use the router to make the necessary cut outs in the wing for the landing gear.
Well, that's a no for the...

RE: Tiporare questions

My FW190 would really apprciate if the Tipo found some gear elsewhere. Thanks.
As far as the other stuff, I agree, I need gear but even if I have stuff to get rid I charge some fee to get those...

RE: Tiporare questions

Yep, won't this be fun!

Sorry I wasn't clear, here's some photos on the wings, and no I didn't get them from Don, some good friends and a supporting wife made them possible.
I did follow the...

RE: Tiporare questions

Most I have seen have been the way you describe and my friends that are helping me thought we were going to do it that way but this is my first build that is 'scratch built' and I'm experimenting a...

RE: Tiporare questions

Oh, the brass tubes are to make prop spacers because Graupner has a larger hole in the backside. With all of this I should be at the same weight as the 61 or just slightly over.

RE: Tiporare questions

David, I think you've convinced me to use the 91. I'll just have to practice throttle management. I got this prop so I could shave an inch off but I'm still worried about ground clearance and a...

RE: Tiporare questions

Made some progress on the LE & TE on the wings. The LE is much thinner than the TE. The landing gear rails go in next then the skin and finally the rounded LE.

RE: Tiporare questions

Wow, check this out http://www.osengines.com/engines/dimension-std.html
The 61 and 91 seem to have the same case just a larger prop 'plate' (can't remember the term right now...work, blah).
I'll...

RE: Tiporare questions

I'm not doing anything with the nose for now, just trying to figure out how to bend it...like I said, it would be easier to build up some balsa inside the engine compartment (on the sides) just...

RE: Tiporare questions

Here are some new photos.
This is a better view of the fuse with the correct lense. If you notice the left section looks a little longer at the tail because I sanded too much on the right to get...

RE: Tiporare questions

First, thanks for the congrats on the triangle stock. I have never seen it in what looks like a 30* 60* 90* so I cut my own on the band saw.
You must understand that I didn't know where my wife...

RE: Tiporare questions

Here is my build so far http://www.flyinghogcycles.com/images/tims/tiporare/fuse.jpg

RE: Tiporare questions

Thanks guys, I'll get back on it this weekend.
I might look for some retracts too, if it's not legal I'll just build it to suit (as well as move the wing up...I guess I just need to draw the upper...

RE: Tiporare questions

I agree, it would be good practice anyway. Thanks for the encouragement, I don't think 1 week would be enough time to build one anyway. LOL.

RE: Tiporare questions

Well that was a waste of wood...I might finish building it anyway but now I need to find a legal aircraft.

David, what were their reasons for not allowing it, did it just not go into production...
