RE: Tiporare questions

Mark,

BHE stands for Bridi Hobby Enterprises. Joe, made some nice mounts back in the day but they are now discontinued. BHE mounts had the mounting holes drilled in a square arrangement so that...

RE: Tiporare questions

Tim,

no, I was trying to figure out what ship that was too. That ship also has a top pipe tunnel which I would imagine was intended for the engine to be mounted inverted with an S shaped header...

RE: Tiporare questions

It shouldn't really apply to any scratch built projects with freshly cut cores but it serves to mention, for others who may have GP kits, that I had a manufacturing problem with my first set of...

RE: Tiporare questions

Thanks Tim.

As your thread has become a great exchange of info on Tipo's I thought I'd post some progress on mine but I still feel awkward about it and considered pulling the posts and putting...

RE: Tiporare questions

A couple of snaps of the empennage. Elevator edges will be lined with 1/32 ply once the stab is mounted in order to be certain that they are clearing the rudder. At a glance, it appears that the...

If you are like me and get a kick out of things like this, have fun with the 1 min movie attached. Save file as Tipo-Multicon.avi

Actuation is accomplished via a double pole/double throw switch...

RE: Tiporare questions

Well,

after a few weeks of working on wings and stabs, I'm running out of reasons not to join their panels. Although the retract wells are perfectly functional, they are a hair off perfect...

RE: Tiporare questions

Mark,

fantastic!

Nice to finally see an almost complete lineup. It's interesting how the canopy progressively receded backwards (or shortened in length) as the models evolved. The Surpass...

RE: Tiporare questions

Josh,

It's quite amazing that the fuse length of the T-825 is only ~4" longer than the T-720 which has a glass fuse of ~51" and a total length of ~56" (spinner and rudder included).

Also,...

RE: Tiporare questions

Josh,

thanks for the pictures. One can see that your T-825 wing is quite a bit larger than the T-720. It's a little harder to tell how much larger the fuse is. Do you have figures (specs) for...

RE: Tiporare questions

Chris,

I know that your Tipo was built by someone else and I believe it has MK retracts in it. I assume also dual servos for the ailerons. Though I don't know if it has a paint finish or is...

RE: Tiporare questions

Josh,

nice going!

Just to clarify, the original Tipo was not a Hippo Tipo (a larger wing aircraft) but rather a 720 sq in wing version which is the subject of this thread and several...

RE: Tiporare questions

Greg,

Ray's sketch (and picture) of Hanno's Curare wing is what I was alluding to earlier. When I mentioned the Magic, I should have said Curare - I got the images mixed up in my head. The Magic...

Quickly, I just glanced at a plan that rainedave uploaded here:

RE: Tiporare questions

Mark,

thanks for the update. It'll be interesting to see those fuses and cores when you have a chance. If you shoot them in the same plane (pun intended), it'll be easy to compare one with...

RE: Tiporare questions

before commenting I'd just like to say that if any of these "other" Tipo builds (including my own) are not appreciated by you, please let us know. In my threads, I encourage exchange...

RE: Tiporare questions

Mark,

that sounds great. We look forward to seeing the lineup!

I feel that DH might have had some sketches at the very least of how and where to make changes to the design. In fact, I can't...

Impactiq,

thanks for the back history. It would be great to assemble some pictures of all these versions. Do you suppose DH has plans for them?

To what extent are there (full) plans for the...

RE: Tiporare questions

Tim,

I find it helpful to draw centerlines (with a thin sharpie) everywhere on the cores when building - root, tip, LE, TE, top and bottom as well as draw the cutout template directly onto the...

Hey Impactiq, thanks for the appreciation. Given this is Tim's first scratch project (as well as his thread), and a sizable one too, I felt John's generosity should go toward him in support of his...

nice progress. Should you ever need to post a "non-standard" file you can rename it with a .txt extension, upload it, and inform readers to rename it with a specific extension on download...

RE: Tiporare questions

John,

thanks for the compliment. Unfortunately, I can't claim the handy work as my own. The picture depicts a ~78" long fuse in a Tipo that was scratched with the intention of competing in early...

RE: Tiporare questions

truly sad to hear - burned Tipo's... I understand your situation though.

Given this is Tim's thread, I feel he should be the one to receive any items you wish to donate to the classic...

RE: Tiporare questions

Tim,

now I understand. You cores look great. Adding a stub LE like you have and attaching the TE before sheeting makes for a continuous sheeted core. As you mention, you can then just add the...

RE: Tiporare questions

Cool. If the core is cut to full planform (including ailerons), you can cut the ailerons out of the sheeted core. This is done often by the 2m guys and in glider construction for example - the...
