  1. Exhaust details were added. Completed the decals and the panel lines with minimal weathering. May do more when I receive my pencil set. It looks too busy to my eye at this stage. Set the CG at 80mm with 80gr of weight in the box. I still to paint the prop adapter... and seal the paint/weathering with PlastiKote clear sealer...
  2. Ours is tiny compared to yours it still takes us a couple of hours to cut the grass. I think that is a good price to pay for what you have. Enjoy.
  3. What a lovely field Ron.. Plenty of space to take a long slow approach for landing..
  4. Hi Ian The CG is 100 mm back from the Leading Edge. I have the plans if you need any further help please PM me. Regards. Murat
  5. With some decals on.. Panel lines and some weathering to follow as well as the exhaust paintings..
  6. Tested the motor today: Prop Volts Amps Watts 10 x 6 15.66 35 548 11x5.5 15.51 45 698 I will stick to 10x6 as the motor is rated to max 45amps. 548watts is plenty for my flying...
  7. I installed the battery tray and the ballast box that I got from Ron after a little tweaking. My 4S 3300MAH battery fits perfectly. They really fitted well and very functional - Thanks Ron.
  8. The motor I used is 4Max 3547 960 KV, which should give me over 500watts. The shaft was chopped off after covering the motor with a nylon bag and tape as mentioned earlier. The website suggests 10x6 prop but this may not be very effective due to the size of the cowling.. I will try an 11 x 5 or 12 x 4 to check which performs better. I used PS-1171MG metal gear servos. I used primarily Delux Materials Speed bond for most of the balsa/ply gluing. I used clear gorilla glue for gluing the cowling to F1, the wing bolt holder, the fin and the stabiliser. I used the brown gorilla glue for gluing the wings, and its attachments. Only in a few occasions used some super glue very carefully due to my allergy to the cyano.
  9. Not a very good photo with the work table background, but together with the completed one it shows the motor mount. I have doubled up the firewall as suggested. Later I chopped off the motor shaft too so that nothing is sticking into the battery bay. I screwed the cowling as per Ron's suggestion so that it can be taken off. I added the cockpit details upfront. I have opted for installation of permanent servo cables for the ailerons enabling connection in the servo boxes. This enabled me to join the wings with no cabling effort. I used snakes with carbon rod and clevices Cyano glued, the connector is slightly crimped and shrink tubed at both ends. I also added snake outlet covers.
  10. The build of my FW190 progressed well thanks to all who have shared their builds and learnings, especially to Ron for his videos.. Here is a sneak preview. It still requires weathering, panel lines, decals etc.
