    Dave try looking at the Brian Taylor 110 Plans available from "sarik Hobbies " there's also various build threads on various forums. He wouldn't release a design unless a proven flyer. Very renowned man in the scale world. Just Google Brian Taylor plans. Incidentally his 110 is 71" wingspan. Don't know the weight of hand but have the plan . however be aware planes will vary in weight depending on whose building it. Hope this helps.

    Hi Nigel, managed to get a good join between the pivot bolt and the yoke, using the j b weld as you suggested. Thanks. Will get some pics up soon never enough time. Work gets in the way 🙂🙂

    Thanks Nigel. My problem is :- aluminium yoke, round steel bolt or piano wire. Trying to get a good join between the two. Yes I'm soldering / silver soldering other various pieces. On my third attempt now . Thinking to make a square brass plate silver soldered to the bolt on top off a square flanged yoke. If you get my drift. Will post photos when finished the completed article. Otherwise revert back to making a steel plate yoke then it'll all solder up together. As I did on the LA7. only want to use Ali for the weight factor.

    Anybody done a steerable tail wheel assembly modification? ? As I'm trying to make one up myself. Only having trouble getting a decent join between the ali yoke and the steel bolt/ upright into fuz.have tried clamping it with a nut,but the yoke still works loose. Thinking of trying epoxy maybe?? If so anyone recommend a good one for bonding metals together. Tia Graham ( cornwall )

    Cheers for that Paul Graham 😉

    Ok Paul, thinking now :- 110 will I have to do this procedure to have the 2 throttle servos travelling in the same direction. ie running of one y lead.? Presumably the same for the flaps? WE thinking of just swapping the red and black at the plug end of the servo lead. Sorry if I've missed something? Cheers Graham

    Like the yaks Richard, would like one of those to replace my LA7 if you ever do anymore?Edited By gillyg1 on 17/11/2017 21:23:19

    Cheers DD pictures are great. Thanks Graham (cornwall)
  15. gillyg1
    Cheers Paul, just needed a bit of clarity 😉

    Thanks guys, so obviously the front end we have the ovalish template from the laser cut ply.do I use that all the way down? Or are they tapered in?is the top above the wing different too underneath? Or am I making it to difficult. Just don't want to cock it up and need it to look right.
  17. gillyg1
    Right guy's got the nacelle sides laminated up.question is do I sand them roughly to shape now,or wait until there on the wing. Reading the thread I see Paul did it one way and DD the other.
  18. gillyg1
    Why is it I get a question mark instead of a pound symbol ??? Happened on x2 posts now,when I've posted from my mobile.
  19. gillyg1
    That's why we're switching to " match pots " I'm paying ?1:70-?1:80 for a small tin of humbrol enamel.like you say Paul comes expensive.
  20. gillyg1
    Hi Graham I'm going to try the dulux matchpots. Matt emulsion, as used by the man himself RW. There only ?1:50 a shot from B&Q Then I'll fuel proof over the top.Edited By gillyg1 on 02/11/2017 07:04:14 Edited By gillyg1 on 02/11/2017 07:05:39

    Thanks Percy. Sure I've seen an article explaining how to make these somewhere. But can't remember.
  22. gillyg1
    Cheers guys, yes the picturelooks deceiving. But it all works smoothly and doesn't bind/catch anywhere. I was going to use the quick links on the threaded rods. But the links where catching inside the tailplane. So reverted to my original idea.

    To all you scale buffs out there, thinking of adding some trim tabs to my latest build ( 110 ) would appreciate any input on how to make the shrouds / linkages and materials etc. have put on some photos for you to see what I mean. TIA Graham
