Cucumber 2
Stephen Jones replied to Stephen Jones's topic in Building from Traditional Kits and Plans
Hi again, here is the construction of the rear boom which is my 3rd build now , i wish i could of taken a video of that rudder working . It looks so cool with no visible controls . As you can see i gave up on the designers way of building it an chose my own way although doug didn't have a working rudder . -

Hi fellow wood worms, Well my loft/shed have been to cold to work in as of late so progress has been slow yet ,again more errors in the un-finished plan by doug McHard so i will have to re draw all of the plan. Any how here are some more pictures , i do hope it flys when it is finally finished i know it should as i belive he did fly it at one of the natinals and won a award for it . -

Hi fellow wood worms, The build has been slow due to the fact i have had to scrap the rear fuselage that i made , due to the formers being lob sided . I have had to re do all formers as although they look right on the plan , there not .Along with other problems , by the time its finished i will have had to re draw much of the plan . arr well i know it would be a challenge so the build will go on . -

Thanks for the tip bert i will give that a go on the polystyrene one first . I don't mind cutting more polystyrene if i get it wrong .Have you any idea as to where ailerons and elevators should go on a canard , or should i use elervons like on a delta ? . Oh the back of the plane is where the rudder is flytilbroke . -

Hi , Wood Worms, here is a picture of the model i will be building .Unfortunately the great man`s untimely demise occurred before the final version of the plan had been cleared and a build instruction article had been written . So this will be a challenge that i`am up for . -
Hi , wood worms Iam considering building a cucumber2 which is a unusual plane by doug McHard for free flight , which featured in model flyers mag in 2003 . Well i think that it would make for a nice electric rc conversion the only thing is , has any one built one before ? as i have know idea as to where the cog is , or which would be the best way of controlling it in flight . Can anyone shed any light on the subject ? . I think i will build one out of polystyrene first so i can test glide it to find its cog .
