Shaunie Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Hi FB3, Evolution Models Fusion. Gavin Barden who designed and sells them and I are in the same club, so it was rude not to build one. It's bare white on top as I haven't printed the graphics up for the top yet. Covering with checks is fun but came out spot on I think. Overlander 3548 motor, corona CS238MG servos. They go well on 3S, climb like homesick angels on 4S. Shaunie.

Robin Etherton Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Inspired by a recent post I located a plan for the Crash-e and built one up from the scrap box and used the motor train from an old shockie. Superb fun flyer outside. Has emax cf2822 with 7x5 prop, 18amp esc and 3 cell lipo. Pure fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Horsman Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Very nice Mark. I'd remove those pins though. Don't want to extra drag on the slope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogster Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I always liked the flybaby so, following a favourable review in RCM&E, I treated myself to the new Seagull ARTF. I'm quite pleased how it has turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mannyroad Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Well, not exactly new, more a case of rising from the ashes. I was going to bin it but decided to rebuild. Just shows that sometimes its worth questioning why bin it. Some may recognise it as the Gonzales from (dare I say it) Q&E. As you can see from the pic, its not its first nose rebuild, haha!

cymaz Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Promise me you'll double check everything.....too nice a model to wreck......beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymaz Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Bought this last year from Salisbury. Been working on it off and on since then. Its had new servos, battery redundancy, new linkages, modified exhaust, new tail wheel , new nav light system,dual aileron servos and all new linkages. Just the wings to get sprayed up and check the CG.... The hole in the side of the fuselage was intentional as I needed access to get the closed loop and nav light wires in. It has a litho hatch that will be screwed in and painted white. Edited By cymaz on 22/10/2016 13:11:42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Colman Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Very nice cymaz. I've always fancied a MM myself but, as with many things, other temptations come along far too frequently. More details about the model please. Manufacturer, size, etc. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymaz Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 1/4 scale Bud Nosen plan. The previous owner/builder had never started the 62cc petrol stroke or flown it. So, essentially, it's a virgin airframe. However, the builder had extended the wing span and not stuck to the plan. It doesn't really distract from the look. The wing span is 12ft , 6ft long fuselage, 12" radial cowl. It weighs about 17kg. Today, I have spent the day doing calculations for CG and wing cubic loading. As it stands the GC computer spread sheet confirms 5" from leading edge. The WCL is 12.5 which seems about right. A score of 10-13 is correct for scale. I managed to find the Bud Nosen plans and build instructions online and bought it. So if you are up for it Steve... The decals came from here. They are really nice quality. I will be quietly bricking myself on the maiden . Despite triple checking EVERYTHING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
