I want to go flying tomorrow so I made the most of today by building.

The fuselage is taking shape,probally have a day off tomorrow to have a fly.

well apart from fitting the servos (which I haven't got yet) and a final sand I now have a set of wings so now on with the nice part for me any way building the fuselage.

yea no dihedral in the top wing,i made the wing all in one go ,firstly making the spliced spars and building as normal,the top and bottom sheeting go past the splices so will be strong enough and will have hard wood blocks let into the bottom to fix the struts,all a bit backward but its all in my head and not on paper until I know things work.
-
as I don't like making wings I thought I better leave the fuz and get on with the wings,so far so good,

my balsa arrived yesterday so I thought I better make a start even though ive used some of the wood for other things already but should have enough to make a reasonable start.

Who is building what?

ive been waiting two weeks for my balsa so I can start my ballerina bipe -
go for it
-
as I am still waiting for my balsa to arrive I I got itchy fingers to day and decided to convert my ballerina speedster to electric,it was my last glow engine plane so unfortunately the last year it didn't get flown very often but now with the bipe will make a nice days flying.

shouldn't even be thinking about this plane as ive got so many projects on the go at the moment but ive got suitable motor.s and retracts so down loaded the plan just in case lock down persists longer than thought.

i still enlarge plans the hard way by drawing a datum line and measure off it but enjoy it,i enlarged my ballerina to 65 inch span and used a electric set up equivalent to a 90 4 stroke,well over powered as it will even prop hang but I prefer to fly low and slow with mild scalish aerobatics but that was the only setup I had available so 50-70 four stroke I would think would be good for 70 inch span.
