I'll take the GF38 off your hands - that the posted price?

Excellent stuff. I really look forward to seeing the retracts in place - The plane is really quite well thought out it seems, but could just do with being a bit bigger so I like your approach! The trailing edge spar is a great touch. I too didn't like the fact that there was no W1 at the root of the dihedral - I wish I'd stuck an extra rib each side in. I instead added riblets to the W1 which supported the wing skin. The wing of mine certainly feels sturdy enough now that it's fully sheeted. I just got the wing bolt installed and I would suggest perhaps both of double bolts and double dowels at the leading edge to make it more solid when screwing the wing down. I am detailing all of my build here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/vECz78aDhvmBczh68

I know a Diamond Geezer from Arinsal. I don't suppose it's the same one?

I can't see any pics I'm afraid Martin!

I'd be happy to take this off your hands for that price if you could include the postage in the £75...

Nice work Jon!

Look forward to seeing some pics of your progress.

Here's a link to the google photo album I'm doing. Add some comments here and there as I go too. You will notice I'm not strictly following the build order but I hope the outcome is successful all the same! https://photos.app.goo.gl/vECz78aDhvmBczh68

Oh good luck Martin, I hope you will keep us updated on progress! I'm doing a build photo album with the odd comment, but I'd not shared it yet on here.

These are definitely filled with FETs, so one can assume that they're switching BECS! Poetry is my forté!

I'm reading horror stories so will remove a red wire!!!

Would it hurt to just have both BEC's running into the Rx?

I was planning to do the same for my ESC set up, but I hadn't thought of varying the output with a rudder mix. I might have to have a go at that too! Are you sending two lots of BEC power into the rx, or have you pulled the red wire out of one of the connectors?

What so you vary the output of the edf's when you use the rudder? That's genius, I wish I'd thought of that!!!

Mine is likely to be a heavyweight missile as I'm adding rudders to scratch my engineering itch! I'm also going with ESC's in the fuse rather than the engine pods to counter the weight of the servo in the tail! I'm going to cover with some super matt lamination film before spraying - I'll update you with the weight of mine once she's done!!! I'm building mine from the free plan but I think I am going to have to succumb to buying a canopy - I could easily enough use some pop bottles for the engine cowling but I can't see me being able to fashion a canopy so I might as well buy the vac form kit from TN and maybe even add the pilot whilst I'm at it!

God you're so bloody brave! I salute you sir. I would be too scared I'd make a destructive change that would ruin any chance of her being airworthy again!

I try to remember to save the tops from milk cartons to use for mixing epoxy. Then again, any old bit of plastic or card works just as well

Not forgetting what you need to stick stuff together with: 10ml syringes with blunt needle for more precisely applying glue: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Syringes-Blunt-Needle-Mixing-Syringe/dp/B01N2ZQ44R?th=1 micro tip capillary tubes to stick on the end of your superphatic glue bottle: https://www.amazon.co.uk/zhuochuan-Applicator-Micro-Tips-Dispensing-Dispensers/dp/B08K2G3TS2/ (other outlets are available) Thin CA, medium CA. Superphatic (love this stuff). PVA. Aliphatic resin...

Fingers crossed for your next go Allan.

Did you have a maiden flight yet?

I'm just building mine and oh my gosh what an incredible job you've done there. How did you get that amazing finish? I mean it might be a bit shinier than a battle worn A10, but it looks outstanding!

Probably for me as much as anyone in future, the hyperflight page has some more details on how to use this solution. Looks brilliant I have to say! https://www.hyperflight.co.uk/products.asp?code=SRIDSM-MKS6110&name=integrated-drive-system-mono-for-mks-hv6110

Beautiful workmanship, whichever glue you're using!!

That't the third different version of the manual I've seen!!! If I add all three together I almost get the full picture. Mine doesn't have those X mounted oleos though, mine are on a z shaped torque bar. I think mine is probably one of the much older versions of the artf.

I picked up a BL chipmunk with a 40cc MVS engine in it a couple of years ago in a moment of madness. I'd just gotten back into the hobby and I thought it might be a good deal. 2 years later and I've still never fettled it into flying condition. I have a couple of questions if anyone in the know could help I'd be grateful. So this one I bought has the wings secured by way of the previous owner screwing from the top of the wing into the end of the wing joiner tube. God knows why! So there are no wing joiny bolts/nuts for the tabs from the wing to the fuse. Can anyone advise or show me a picture of these bolts? Also, at the leading and trailing edge of the wing root, there should be a stud or similar to help locate the wing into the fuse - again these seem to be missing - I thought they were M6 threaded but an M6 bolt slips in so they're not that. Does anyone know what the thread size is? I'm sure I will have many more questions... Hopefully someone can help out. I can take some pictures to show what I'm on about if it helps. Thanks! Dave
