Go to one of the on line C of G calculators and a good place to start is 25% MAC.

This is as far foward as you should go. Move aft as needed. I usually work between

25-35%

[F3a type plans]

There are hundreds of "F3A" designs. When Phil 9 asked for more up to date designs

I assumed modern day "2 metre" airplanes.

[F3a type plans]

Here are a few more. Outerzone has the Typhoon 2+2 and over on RCU Papaone has his Harmonie.

Great designs and plans are for free.

Have used methonal to thin West System for a number of years now with great results,

The main reason for thinning the resin is to help reduce the amount of resin used as weight

can build up very quickly by using this method.

 As a small minus the resin will go off

faster but you will have plenty of working time. (Mix 50:50)

Thanks for the input guys. I think these two radios maybe worth a look at in time

as they seem to be popular with the home build drone set and quad racing.

[Loaded Dice III]

Loaded Dice III, Wing Span 72 ins, Length 78 ins. Designed for the OS 140 RX

and Webra 120-145 RE.

[Radiolink]

Anyone tried this brand, sounds interesting and looks really smart.

AT 10 II or AT9 S, programming very much like Futaba.

[Mirus Build Blog]

Well done, wish I could build that fast. Colours look realy well.

Nice one Steve, a Super Dalotel would be really good. Saw G.Briggs fly one a few times

Dave.

[Dave Hardaker Lightning]

Lookin good. Thrust line much lower on GRP version?

[Maestro by John Wilson, Falkirk]

Thanks, not in any hurry, when ever suits. With the way the weather is it will be

a long building season.

Dave

[Maestro by John Wilson, Falkirk]

I would be very interested in a set of plans. Always liked the lines, much nicer than

the Acrowot.

[Mystic 40/60FS]

Looks great , well done. Interested for sure.

[RM Diamond]

You're welcome. Looking foward to the build thread.

[RM Diamond]

Just checked an old RM catalog and the number is RM 209 by Tony Wright.

It was published in March 1979

[Wolfgang Matts Arrow]

Awesome build and finish. Congates.

Fly Hard , Land soft

Aurora was flown at 1985 Worlds in the Netherlands. Model used in 1987 Worlds was a Silent (as seen in link)

one of the early 4 stroke designs.

Why not try plaster board jointing tape and PVA. Have used this method on my

last few models.

A roll can be got at any DIY store.

[DSM Saphir]

Why not just put a tongue in the wing and use your doubler to receive same.

Dave

[Maestro by John Wilson, Falkirk]

There is a review in RCMW September 1995.

Looks very smart.
