joe:
First half of the fuse mould glassed. Now we wait.
Wings sanded and trimmed. 140grams. Not bad for first go.

Nice work Joe.
I made something similar a few years ago, but went without flaperons and increased the wing dihedral to give me a R/E ship and made the pod using the lost foam method rather than going thru all the hassle of moulding for a one off.
I'll dig the model out of the garage and take some pics...... when my back stops playing up and I can actually get out of the house! :!:
joe:
Sorry to hear you back is giving you trouble again Bill.
They are a nice project alright. I have/am considering a R/S version. It would need a least 10degrees of dihedral i reckon to be responsive with rudder only. Thats a lot of dihedral! It would look a little extreme. Polyhedral looks better to me. But you would have to reenforce where the outer panels join which would add to the weight lost by not having any servos :?:
Well I have 4 booms and will have a fuse mould soon so I can make a straight one and a poly one! :D
joe:
So half of the mould and the canopy is now done. Getting there

Hi Joe,
Whats the order of wing layup? Does the mylar go on first or after the cloth?
John.
