    No problem mate. Glad I noticed. The internal wire is simple way to stop it bending I think
  2. Mark Jones 10
    Yes I was just thinking you could cyano some thin piano wire just for the amount of yellow showing down inside it. You really do need something. Hope you didn’t mind me mentioning this as I would hate to see your model crash.

    Ah I thought so. There isn’t really any strength in the yellow inner. The red outer needs to only show about 1/2” of yellow otherwise it will bend. I know from experience. I lost elevator authority and crashed

    Is that elevator pushrod the inside piece of the snake ?
  5. Mark Jones 10
    I will get mine ready to run the engine in soon I hope then see if she flys ?

    Great looking. Love yellow and black. mine hasn’t progressed much recently.

    I made a ply wedge to cant my aileron hinges forward so they are more inline with hinge line. I used glass cloth and finishing resin both sides of my wing join

    I’ve just received my magnets for the same reason ?
  9. Mark Jones 10
    Yes a good idea thanks

    Thanks

    Now I realise the exact size I’ve searched can get a 1.6 x 49mm instead of the original at 50mm can’t see 1 mm making too much difference

    Thank you. I stupidly didn’t think it would be listed as a spare in the manual. ive ordered one from fleabay but it’s 50 x 3.55 so don’t know if it will fit

    In setting up my Lentus yesterday I had the prop blades removed but spun up the motor. The O ring vanished quickly although I hooked it over the hub. Does anyone know or able to find the size so I can replace it cheers. Mark

    Mine is nearly ready to maiden. Bit more radio tinkering first. got this fantastic bag today from Model shop Leeds
  15. Mark Jones 10
    Yes I’m excited about getting mine up flying. Won’t be long now just ailerons to fit

    Finally got mine together so I can set the radio up. Love the fit and finish of her. Look forward to testing her out. I’m using full Spektrum smart gear and a 3s 3300 lipo ??✈️

    Thank you ?✈️

    I’ve nearly finished mine. Most of the things you changed are common things with a kit. I did mostly the same, but then I like modifying things and didn’t see it as an issue. I agree that the instructions are basic but to anyone with a few kits built they are fine.

    I’ve asked model shop Leeds to let me know when the wheels are in stock. Meanwhile I’ll be looking at what others are doing. We have tarmac and long grass to use which isn’t a problem as with crow brakes it will come in slowly

    Posted by Devcon1 on 26/01/2021 22:46:49: Curious if anybody that has or is getting one might be contemplating getting the retractable wheel. I’m thinking about it but not much info about it yet. Also what size lipo people are using.
  22. Mark Jones 10
    Wife says I have a big parcel just come. My Lentus rr. Thank you model shop Leeds. Always great service

    Posted by David Ashby - Moderator on 22/01/2021 11:57:47: Stock has just landed with UK shops I’m told. Just ordered one from Model shop Leeds. Looks a nice model

    All useful information and thank you I’m going to beef up the two spars a little and fit hardwood bearers to fit the servos inline with the spars. I trail fitted a servo as it’s intended and didn’t like how it was. I’m also not using tricycle undercarriage as I’m getting carbon fibre swept back mains with the wheels being inline almost with the leading edge, and a tail wheel I’m putting one full size servo for elevator in the rear end and solid 1/4 tail surfaces. Rudder servo will be in the rear of the wing compartment with a snake fitted. now I’m wondering what or how to join the elevator halves, what size piano wire ? plenty left to do. Oh also I’m glass clothing the wing join for peace of mind
  25. Mark Jones 10
    Ok thanks. The aileron servos on mine are meant to be side mounted in the rib. I don’t like this arrangement so I may put some bearers in with some strengthening and fit in the usual way
