Cliff 1959 started following Lost Model Tracker and Pix - E Major
-
I've dusted my Pixie off for some relaxing flying this Summer Video
-
Thanks for all the suggestions so far. So from what I learnt it seems a fairly cheap gps tracker with a sim card from the likes of giff gaff (which are free to order) with a small amount of credit on would last a long time if you only 'pinged' the tracker when you lost your model, a 'ping' costs 5p. This way you avoid a subscription as well. The only possible drawback I can see is if your model goes down in an area with no signal!

Has anyone had success in using a tracker in their model in case of a flyaway?

Cliff 1959 started following Tissue and Stringers Conversion and Fokker Dr1 concave lower formers
-
The 34in span Sabre looks good ?
-
Thanks, I'll take a look, I haven'tstarted the project yet, cheers

Thanks Simon, of course, silly me, cheers -
Fokker Dr1 concave lower formers

Forget to say why ... I want to add a second crossmember which would be straight if I hadn't have noticed. -
I'm building the DW big Dr1 and I notice the fuselage formers behind the lower wing are slightly concave on the bottom, whilst I like the appearance is it correct compared to the full size?

That's nice Alan, I hadn't thought of scaling up a plan, how about the Guillow's Mig 15, here's the Outerzone plan, maybe x2? https://outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=11610

Looking on Banggood I see a 2s edf unit weighing 21.8g and 30mm diameter with a thrust of over 7ozs so maybe it's possible, given a very light airframe. QF1611 14000KV Vlotage: 7.4V Amps(A): 19.3 Watts(W): 142.82 Thrust(g): 215 Thrust(oz): 7.58 Efficiency(g/W): 1.51 Efficiency(oz/W): 0.05 Throttle: 100% ESC: 20A

Has anyone converted one of the KeilKraft or Guillows (or any other make) or stick and tissue jets to electric EDF, I can't find any info of any examples? It could be a cool project!
-
The Atom is finished, now all I need is a couple more practice sessions on the Luobo and I'm ready to go, thanks guys for all the help and advice.
-
Also should I remove this small section of blade to allow full movement? I'm thinking I should.
-
Hi guys, is the Coolwind rota head set to 90° to the mast on the Atom as viewed from the side? Also I plan on 1° to the left (viewed from the rear), or should it be a little more?
-
Hi Richard, thanks for that reply. I've made my blades and added a 0.4mm shim using the material supplied with the parts from Malcolm at Coolwind, all will become clear in video number four 'Blade Construction' when I get the final filming and editing done. In the meanwhile, as you suggested, here is a link to the first of three videos (the others being linked at the end of each part):
