Rather than clutter up the topic in ‘General Discussions’ I thought I’d start a build blog. The model in question, as per the title, is Dane RCs redesign / new design loosely based on the classic 1950s one by R A Twoomey and whilst not a replica of that one it does, IMO capture the spirit. Specification: Wingspan 4120 mm, Length 2165 mm , Weight 3800 – 4500 gr. Wing area 1,82 m² Mine will be powered by a Hacker A30-18 M V2 6 pole with reduction gearbox 6.7:1 running off a 4s LiPo. I have also gone for the split fuselage option to make transport easier! (Wings are in 4 pieces and tailplane bolts on) The following shots are from Dane RCs website, I plan to finish mine in translucent purple (Modena) with white trim. I ordered the kit and it was dispatched within 2 days, then spent the best part of a week in Danish customs before being released and arriving at my doorstep 2 days later (yesterday). A well packed box With some good quality wood and excellent laser cutting it’s a good job I chose to have the split fuselage which means that I can build it in 2 pieces, a good job as my biggest building board isn’t long enough for the whole fuselage! This thing is huge To give some idea of scale I’ve laid the Peggy Sue wing next to the plan of the tailplane (Peggy Sue wing is 53”). Apologies for those who have seen these photos before as I have put them in the ‘General Discussion’ thread.
