Here's a side view to make things a bit clearer

Thanks andy
I didn't take any build photos. the only bit that takes any care is getting the dihedral correct (1" at the wing tips)
it all clips together so to speak. I used canopy glue througout. just because I had some and it's very strong
It's all 2mm depron apart from the front doublers that support the motor and wing. these are 2 pieces of 6mm
Here's the cutting plan if anyone wants one
if you have a go and you intend to colour it with marker pens as i did then do this before gluing all the bits together. it's not easy when built
have fun

Hi
The Bmfa dart is a clasic so I've thrown one together for the indoor season
14" wingspan
25g all up weight
elevator, rudder and throttle unit from a park zone micro Mustang
Flew her a couple of weeks ago and I was very pleased with the flight performance. first off it's very stable. I trimmed a little left rudder balanced the throttle. removed my fingers from the sticks and watched it perform 3 perfect circles of the hall. open the throttle up and it'll turn and loop in a very small space
I'm off to the indoor club again tonight and I will get some video

I guess it would work you could even try putting a layer of glass cloth between the layers of tights
.Brilliant idea

Hi
if you're not going to show it off at a fly-in then hurry up and get some flying pics and video please
quick question
would your method of using womens under garments and resin to cover balsa/ foam be good enough for a cowl if it was built up to several layers. say 1 to 1.5 mm thick ?

Hi
love this project.. you're a brave man
the red servo wire on 3 of your speed controlers shouldn't be connected to the rx. . . that's what everyone says..
have you got them all connected ? bit worried you'll have problems ?

Hi
it's made of 5mm (depron) laminate flooring underlay. 15mm pipe lagging and 38mm waste pipe
the wheels are 70mm i think. not sure how heavy it is but it feels very solid
fingers crossed

Hi
it now weighs 575g 1.27lb so it is a bit fatter
I've built the dolly now so it's third time lucky

Hi
http://members.multimania.co.uk/A75Church/tips3.htm
it's the part on vbar that I was talking about. if you calculate Vbar it will tell you how stable it'll be. for a high winger that you want to be a nice relaxed flyer then the Vbar shouldn't be too low. a couple of aerobatic planes i built years ago had Vbar of about .35 so It'll have to be higher than that
