  1. It's not a workshop but a loft, the erea where you can stand upright is about 3 meter by 3.5 meter. Space with projects on hand.
  2. Sometimes you have to create something to make life easy. Putting the wrench in the capheadbolt without seeing something gets easy if there a guide or something is.   Without spats and blades, the total weight is 1625 gramms   Edited By Koen Smits on 12/03/2013 18:39:15
  3. As promised pictures from the parts and assembly from the head, the hex nuts get replaced at final assembly with lock-nuts the parts assembled Maybe i will try to reduce the weigth, by making the diameter from the disk at the uper and underside from g/f plate smaller,
  4. Hi all, Is there someone who made the head as per PDF, with birch ply and so? I made mine out of Alu and weights 110 gramms, all the parts including the FG plate but without the M4 x 16 bolts and nuts and i would like to know how much the weight differs from the head assembly as per PDF. Picture follows.
  5. With a wirebender it's almost impossible to bend tubing without collapsing, Bending without problems with the tool on the following link **LINK** Or fill the tube with very fine flower, fill in as much as possible and bend by hand, between tumb and fingers.
  6. Sorry, Question was answered already by Malcom. Koen
  7. Hello, I'm also building a panther, I moved F1/F2 30 mm forward so my lipo's will fit flat inside the batterybay, made a small board to put the lipo on and fit with velcro.   . Edited By Koen Smits on 27/02/2013 21:59:16
  8. In the last couple of days i did some working on my panther build. Making the motorcowl. This is how far i'm now.
  9. Olly, it would be nice if the free plan was also digital available with the digital issue and not only with the printed issue. The past 2 days did some glueing from the parts, Checking if i did not make a banana. Because the sheets are not wide enough to go around the radius in one piece, I have to divide them in two. Prerolled sheet fit on the radius, the sheet is prerolled on dogfood tins.   For those people who ask, how do you get those lang tapered stringers, possible next pictures maybe of help. Take a new and straight sheet hard balse from 6mm or', pin down the sheet were you would cut the stringers from, this sheet sould be the length from the stringers. leave the sheet 3 mm + the thinnest side of the stringer over the guide sheet and ad th widest side of the stringer, 3 mm + the widest size of the stringer. adjust the guide on the table saw, including the ticknes of the saw at the width of the guide sheet + 3 mm. Now you can cut of the first stringer. adjust the guide on the table saw to cut the sheet parallel again, i.e. cut of the second stringer. repeat above, until you habe enough stringers       Edited By Koen Smits on 21/02/2013 20:43:07
