    That fan looks nice - hope you find a way to fit it in. I use a permagrit sanding block (seen in the pictures below). Put the sheet on your flat work surface, raised up 5mm or so, and a couple of passes trues everything up to 90 degees. More later...

    Beat me to it whilst I was typing

    Can't remember off the top of my head Tim, I sure it was stated somewhere. I will have a look and get back to you (unless Peter beats me to it)

    That's interesting Dan, must be a typo error. I have made up four sets of wing skins and have started gluing them on, starting with the top surface. Note to self: DON'T FORGET TO ADD DRAW STRINGS OR SERVO CABLES BEFORE SHEETING THE BOTTOM!!!!!! More later...

    I have finally managed to maiden my Oodalally yesterday wahoo! I have used an old e-flite power 25 motor that was from a crashed damaged donor plane. It seemed OK on the bench but I think it may have issues - it was a bit hesitant to throttle up to full power on take off. I think I may swap out the motor and see if this rectifies the problem. Despite this issue, it flew an absolute treat (after a few clicks of trim), I am 'well chuffed'. No pics or video I'm afraid.

    Mark and Martin - if your looking in. What thickness of balsa did you sheet your wings in (if you remember)? My plan states 2.5mm, which is what I purchased. I have just looked at the build instructions which states 1.5mm, which I haven't got!

    Wing ready for sheeting. For the retract fixings I am using three M3 hex head bolts and captive nuts ( I had to flatten off one side of the nuts with my dremel as they were obstructing the retracts ), and one hex head screw ( no room for a captive nut ). More later...

    I am very interested in a P51B. I have been considering building the Tony Nijhuis version but it looks like this one will build a lot lighter than Tony's design ( I always have trouble keeping the weight off!).

    Hmmm.... I haven't tried with the nose cone on.

    Mine is still awaiting it's maiden.

    I did a lot of fettling joining the wings and have now got them at the correct dihedral. Shubeler fans are supposed to be the dogs kahunas!
  25. Geoff Gardiner
    Doing the maths, I believe this equates to an increase in dihedral (roughly) from 1.9 to 2.5 degrees. Do you think this will have any significant adverse effects?
