The c of g is incorrect on the flair plan if I remember right, it is too far back. I used a asp 61 and a chunk of lead to get it right. Once you do she a peach to fly on a calm day. Double check the balance though, if I think about it I will check mine

Hi Karl. did you go Saturday?? The wing span of my Giles 202 is 66". This might be of interest. This Stampe will definately be flying down the club. Ted and I will hopefully do a flight together with his stampe.

Today, roughed in thebaffles for the engine cooling and the needle hole in the cowl. The engine proved a real sod to fit. Put in the throttle cable, works well with no binding.

I have an offcut of kitchen worktop. Then screwed on top some plaster board. The worktop is thick chipboard and so wont warp.

Better get and pass then Steve. It is a wonderful site, great crowd and great atmospere. You are made to feel most welcome. -
Checked the Laser 150 for size today, I could then epoxy the fire wall. I also put some wooden dowels in it and corner braces on the inside. Made up a trial jig for the undercarriage as the front legs need to be cut for length and drilled again. Also did some more trail fitting of the cowl. Also I may need to put the elevator in the tail to compensate for the engine weight......we'll wait and see. Edited By cymaz on 09/11/2012 13:07:06

I wanted to do a scale version of the real control the the pivot arm on the elevator joiner. I could use a long snake I suppose??? Does anyone know what, if any the dihedral is suppose to be for each wing or at least how much the tips need to be blocked up by when glueing to the centre sections...... Dylan, can you shed any light on this Edited By cymaz on 08/11/2012 08:55:44

New tank arrived today, Fits a treat. Will start on the wing centre sections and the tail. I am going to hide the elevator linkage and horn in the fus if I can by putting the servo in the rear and use closed loop rudder. The fus will have to stay unsheeted/finished for quite a while so I can get into everything. The cross bracing has really made a difference to the tortional strength which is good if I can get the elevator servo in the rear somehow.

Fairy Power Spray, great stuff.

Bit the bullet and glued the tailstock up and framed up the fus. The time spent getting everything square (2hours) was of course well spent. I have used all suggested methods in my other thread about not building a banana. The cross bracing is not on the plane but it really stiffens the whole structure up well for very little weight gain.
