    Ah I see thank you
  2. Martian
    please tell me what an OP is ?

    Hi Tim whats happened to the build ? Martin
  4. Martian
    Ruprect the Daimond DA-42 has winglets and thats the one am hoping to design
  5. Martian
    yes as I see it the canopy posing the biggest challenge it goes so deep into the fuselage that provision would have to be made for integral strength on the lower half almost like a boat . but yes it would be a good project trouble is am allready working out a design for the diamond da42 it also has slim wings like a soarer and a t-tail. The original Melmoth was designed to get economy and range. IMHO I reckon the wings would have to have a deeper chord than scale to develop low speed lift otherwise it will have to scream around Martian

    I guess so many will look similar, this guy has used bits from other aircraft such as Cessna,Cherokee..so you could be right on the Bitza name

    Thanks Tom

    I've searched honest but just can't find how to bookmark a thread HELP

    I was rather trying to tempt him .This guy started to develop the Melmoth in 1981 perhaps he will demand royalties of Tim

    came across this unusual self build experimental plane I think it looks pretty good ,I have enough projects on the go for now but maybe one of you might like a go, check the website http://www.melmoth2.com/ this guy seems just a touch mental .

    Sorry BEB I asked the question because there is so often unfair comments made about suppliers and would like to feel confident about using online services Martin

    Do people feel it would be good to hear more positive experiences with their dealings with HobbyKing, I intend to order a plane from HK UK and will post my experience on here, I have in the past 6 mths bought several items from HK possibly Hong Kong depot (not sure) recieved in 3 weeks including a 18" inch which meant a large box and yes I had to pay duty which at the time was a surprise but after speaking to CS via chat understood the process much better. I have to say as a born again modeller it all feels so different no more LMS's near me but hey thats a sign of the times and online stores such as HK or Giant Shark are a lifeline without which modeling would slowly cease to excist

    the true spirit of aviation,wonderful stuff

    Phil I've been totally enthralled by your build blog and inovative methods my whole morning has been spent reading all the way through,superb work I look forward to reading more Martin

    really had forgotton just how tiring an 80" wing is to cover especially with tough Oracover solarfilm is a breeze compared to this stuff
  18. Martian
    All I can say is roll on decent flying weather
  19. Martian
    What engine does it use and what type servos ?
  20. Martian
    Thank you very much Gordon It did not occur to me that someone would come up with an easier way I'll get my measurements now Martin
  21. Martian
    having read through some brilliant building and use of depron I am going to explore that option .it would certainly make a much lighter build,also looking to make fuselage out to engine nacelle ,is that a workable idea
  22. Martian
    HI BEB, thank you for the heads up re servo load calculation have found it in June 2012 mag, will have to seriously study the maths
  23. Martian
    Hi BEB I'm not a subscriber but do buy the magazine not sure if I have that edition will check thanks for your reply
  24. Martian
    Hi there when scratch building or from a plan how do you determine the servos torque required. for example using slim wing servos when full size standard servos will not sit right unless you design a bump in the wing.So what determines the force acting on an Aileron on say a 1.5" by 12" aileron on a 80"inch span coming in at 6/7 pounds
  25. Martian
    it's all coming out now ..thanks for the tips Tim and from you other guys
