I'm drowning, in bits of an Mu28

Happy Days:
Well of course I meant inches!! :oops:  
(I hate it when people keep correcting others for the slightest little error they make. It’s SO annoying.  :evil: )

By the way Ger,…..What is (or are) “felles”? :?  I can’t find ‘felles’ in the dictionary. :?:

(I love it when a plan comes together :lol: )

Happy Days:
Just tried the diagonal string trick on the door,….it’s perfectly flat :shock: , according to my eyesight anyway.

That’s another little gem to remember. Thank you again Ger. :clap:

i see you spotted my deliberate mistake, well done keith.

re tailplane of mu 28, am i wright in saying it's a fixed t/plane with elevators rather than an all-moving t/plane?

if this is so, will you make the t/plane permanently fixed to fin or removable?

some thoughts on both ideas....
permanently fixed......very strong t/plane joint at fin,  option to mount servo close to t/p for short push rod connection, risk of severe damage in hard landing to both t/p and fin.

removeable....not so easy to set up first day (involves wires,tubes, rods) but once mounting tubes/wires/rods are fixed in fin it's easy to fit t/planes ready for flying.  this system very convenient for transport too.  any damage to one t/p half doesn't necessarily mean involving the other half in the repairs. if t/p 1/2s are big enough, a mini servo could be fitted in each 1/2 and connected to rx with y-lead.


keep the thought juices flowing keith,
gb

Happy Days:
Well, this is an interesting aspect Ger.

 I must confess although I had given some passing thought to the tail, I haven’t really considered it very much so far.
My greatest apprehension is building the wings, and that’s where my thoughts mostly are at this time. However, since you’ve raised the matter………
Here is a copy of the plan I received from Luc of miniplumes. (It's all wirtten in French, but then none of us are perfect!)



Now it looks to me as though it’s a fixed T.P. I had thought of consulting with certain knowledgeable persons, perhaps yourself included Ger, in wondering of an all flying TP could be used. From what I have seen on other models these generally are removable, and also give a move sensitive elevator. (I think). And I like having a sensitive elevator.
Practicality desires that to transport this machine inside my little bubble car, a removable TP would be best.
So my thoughts were to have an all flying / removable TP. That’s what I’d like.

What do you thing of the matter?

Love & kisses,

Keith

gerryb:
to be honest keith, i wouldn't know enough about swapping fixed for all-moving t-planes to offer an opinion but if the full-size used a fixed t/plane, then that's the way i'd go and make the halves removable. that i have done.
i'm sure brian is familiar with the idea from f3a models and might offer advice on same.
by the way, i didn't intend taking you away from the wings but as the thoughts were in my head, i wrote them down.
further by the way, none of us IS perfect, french or otherwise
