XF5U “Flying Pancake” PSS
Fred:
You win a hug!
That’s the one. And as a PSS to add some difficulty to the task
Elevator and rudder parts ready to be cut, so we are getting there! The bottom will be sheeted once everything is in place.
Fred:
Sacrificed a good day to go flying to work on the FU5X.
Have to do what you have to do! That thing needs to be ready for radio by end of next week if I want to stay in my plans!
So finished designing the elevators and rudders.
Cut straight away and assembly started without issues.
Tomorrow sheeting, and we’ll see how to plug the elevators! The big unknown at this stage.
Also cut the fuselage templates. Decided it will be made in foam, sanded to shape. Template in the fuselage look very cool piece of aviation!
Started to think about the turbines casing now. I may have an idea, we’ll see!
Fred:
Elevators and rudders are done. Just need to put them in place now. No ideas still for the elevators. For the rudders, cut 2 templates/support for the tubes, just need to place them now.
Fred:
Could not resist!!
That is different for sure!
Glued the 2 motor “tubes”. They are cardboard tubes with 75mm diameter. Scale it should be 90, but could not find any, but they do look just fine. They need the nose cones now. I might cut them down for transport, we’ll see!
Anyway, that is big, and unusual for sure!
rogallo:
Will it be ready to rock and roll later this month?
