Daniel Cope 1

I Have had one of 3 these planes for over a year or so with a supertiger 45 in them, they all went like a cut cat and was very much liked, one small issue with them though if you are going to make them go like a cut cat please and i emphise PLEASE renforce the bolt holes for the wings in the fusalge as they will fail i have had 2 of these planes go and ended up in splinters on the ground. the one i have now is renforced and is fantasitc too boot....loves the wind at 25-35kmh TASSIE DAN

mmmm intresting peter, wings look a lot like a spitfire/mustang very nice indeed look forward in reading all about it in the comming issues regards d cope

wow thanks peter, it looks fast hmmm iv got to finish this project first or the wife will be on the case. thank you  ill let you konw how i am going with it. regards d cope

lol  no problems peter, ah well then sorry for the confusion i have made extra holes in the ribs to run the aleroins wires in,  the paper tube that shows on the plan has now been made out of light carbord tube which also continues through the fuselarge,then i have crafted a carbon fiber rod which inturn  slides throught the fuselarge and ito each wing kind like the segull models wing  system if you have seen them? oh and the wires the wires yes sorry its the australian slang comming out lol, i have replaced these with wing screws with blind nuts so each wing is supported with a twin locking nut where the wires would normaly  run as i fly in wind most of the time i just like to have the sense of srewed and braced wings on my planes i am not by any means stating that your plans are not good enough by any means as i worship your gift as a model designer i am just not worthy of such greatness peter.. i guess i am the guy that just has to make it over strong.....thats all. oh i have never changed any of your plans before. i cant wait till your next plan peter i think i just might be your greatest tasmanain australin fan!!! and thats not electric pedastool type with the varibule speed setting............. ps as soon as i get back to the ranch i will add some photos for you so you can see what i mean as i am on holiday down the south of antactica eg OLD HOBART TOWN  you know convicts..

oh peter, do you have any more photos of the model after it was finished and of the motor mounted?

hello Peter, as along time reader of RCM&E i always look forward to your plans for somthing new and exciting. i have built the Thomas s4c Scout and it was a delight to fly as i like to turn up to the local feild with somthing no one else has this was very much drooled over.So for my next project the wittman tailwing i have already started the plane with the wings done and elevators and half of the fuselarge done,i have a OS LA .20 Blue which will be mounted in and also she will be clothed in pro film blue and white. the wings attachment system that you used with the rubber band has been replaced buy using the paper tube which the servo wires went through, i have used a carbon fiber rod which locates right through the fuselarge and instead of two dowls i have use 2 plastic wing srews into each wing for location. i havent added the flaps just single alerons with flaparon mixing on the JR X2610 System that i use i hope these little modifictions dont upset you too much Peter i am going to add som photos of the build ASAP so other ppl can have a look yet again i must say building form scratch is a dieing art dont let the ARF take over too much although they are fantasic......regards Daniel Cope Tasmania Australia.
