RE: Don Lien 80

Nada. Been busy with other things. I hope to get back on it sometime in late fall (spring for you of course). Thanks for asking!

RE: Don Lien 80" Hellcat Build

I have struggles long and hard on a method of hinging the elevators to the stab. I started by using hardwood dowels as hard points on the TE of the stab and epoxied them in place. Worked great and...

RE: Don Lien 80" Hellcat Build

Finished up the rudder framing. It still needs to be sanded to an airfoil shape but first I need to sheet and install the trailing edge on the fin.
I used blue tape as a hinge and glued the...

RE: Don Lien 80" Hellcat Build

Got the rest of the bulkheads installed. Next up I'll start building the rudder so I can get the control linkages squared away.

RE: Don Lien 80" Hellcat Build

Got the engine aligned and the holes drilled for the engine. I cut 1/2" too much off the front of the fuse so I had to block up the mount.

RE: Don Lien 80" Hellcat Build

Thanks Lawrence. Here's a thought. I'm guessing the throws would be about the same as your Zcat. Maybe the next time you take her out,
you could measure them and let me know what they are. Might be...

RE: Don Lien 80" Hellcat Build

Tonight I cut the front off of the fuse. Used the part I cut off as a template to make a new firewall. Tacked it in place with some CA and poured some 30 min. epoxy around it with some glass cloth...

And the winner is Chad. Not sure what you've won but at least your keeping me from beating my head against the wall thinking about it.
Nice work getting the answer. Interesting concept too.

RE: Don Lien 80" Hellcat Build

I happened upon a F6F training video from the 40's I'm guessing. It stated that there were only 2 positions for the flaps, full up or full down with no intermediate position. More head scratching.

RE: Don Lien 80" Hellcat Build

I'm not sure what the deal is with that flap. Just looks really odd to me.
If you wouldn't mind scanning the article, that would be great.
Thanks for the help Chad!

Ran into my first major problem with the firewall today. This kit was designed to use a ST-2500 for power. Hence the funky firewall set-up.
I tryed mounting the engine to it and the prop was...

RE: Don Lien 80" Hellcat Build

Right you are LDM. Single slot Fowler. I've just never seen one go so far out without moving down.
They can be replicated pretty easily with the proper hinging. Although not a true Fowler, they...

RE: Don Lien 80" Hellcat Build

Then I guess the most scale thing to do is cut the door short of the wheel and leave it open under the wheel.
Thanks for the input.
