Chris Bott - Moderator Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Go for it Danny. Let's try and keep this thread high up the list so more people spot the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 OK lets try this here. The picture below might take a little while to load. But it's worth it. This is Dannys webcam live. So if you are reading after the event, it will probably be switched off. Edited By Chris Bott on 15/04/2011 08:21:03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bandit Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Getting along nicely. It's fascinating watching Danny build. Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Wilson Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Looking good Danny, very smart Distinct lack of alcohol bottles used as weights though, seemed to be a running theme in the other build threads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Very smart, Danny - but wearing a tie is a bit over the top I'm a bit concerned about those blocks of Lebanese Gold being used to weight the fus, though....... Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Smith 1 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Posted by Dorset flyer on 15/04/2011 02:30:08: Love the web cam idea! So do I but he more I watch the more depressed I get. When I watch Danny I can see the mistakes I made. Excellent build and to watch it happening is great. Hey Danny err jeans shirt and TIE?

Chris Bott - Moderator Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Danny keeps disappearing off, I assume it's to his other bench. A separate cutting area.He spoke last night of built up ailerons. That will slow things up a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Geoff the whole idea of the mass build was one of learning. I think just about every one of us has been and still is learning from others from this. This webcam is another great example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Smith 1 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Hey Danny. I take it you were using cyano on the ribs to spars but what is that thin nozzle on the bottle? When I used it it went everywhere and I got in a right state. Does this extension prevent that happening? Cheers mate.

Yes mate I understand that but I didn't pre think the build and now find myself trying to fit the aileron servo to very fragile wing ribs, not good with shaky hands. lol At least the wing is still straight.

Danny Fenton Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 Sorry if I don't answew everybody I will try and read through afterwards but I am not as far along as I wanted to be. Hi Geoff yes it is capillary tube you can get it from your LHS it s great but look away and flick the end ocassionaly to keep it clear Had to make built up trailing edge as had no aileron stock Tally Ho!

Chris Bott - Moderator Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I really like the pink Zap. I like to use the nozzle and the capilary tube that comes with it. Together they give you much more control. You still have to be careful though. It can still grab a finger while your holding two bits of balsa together. I will be surprised if there's still none on that dangly tie by the end of the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
