Enya46 four stroke for power. Edited By Ted Khinsoe on 11/09/2019 15:19:19 That is a great conversion of the standard kit Thanks. I retained much of the original structure but used a bit of ply and carbon to provide some strength in the aft cabin frame. The model has had a tortured existence with engine issues resulting in deadstick arrivals first three flights then a forgotten servo horn screw in an aileron servo caused a significant crash requiring substantial rebuild. Still flying though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin McIntosh Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 You are not alone. Once flew a brand new F3A model four times then found the aileron servo arm screw on the workbench. Got away with it. Now check them all before any flying session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulo Peres Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Hi all, After more than 2.5 years, it's done and the maiden is expected to occur in the next couple of weeks. I'll keep you posted and/or check the Vector thread. Regards, Paulo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulo Peres Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Posted by Dad_flyer on 14/09/2019 21:33:41: Paulo, that's different. What is it? Hello Dad_flyer, It's called Vector. A model by Pete Collins published in RCM&E of March 2016. I agree it's a very unusual shape, that's why I chose it to build! Search in this site for threads and albums under 'Vector' and you'll find more information about the model. Regards, PP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toni Reynaud Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Cloud Models/Galaxy Models Jester. Came to me part built. I electrified it with a 4-Max motor I had in the spares box, added a steerable tailwheel, and decorated it as a WWII US Primary trainer (sort of - the underside is all red for better visibilty). It flies nicely and is fairly aerobatic. I just hope I can get enough practice to make it look a little neater in some of the manoeuvres. I have added cooling air scoops to the front sides and exit holes under the rear of the fus as the battery was getting fairly warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Chambers Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I'm holding John Woodfield to blame for this ,all those glorious classic gliders he keeps posting up on youtube. I was rummaging about in the workshop and I found some TE and LE strip along with some rib stock and before I knew it, I had cut out 24 wing ribs and by the end of the day I had a nice set of wings. Now a wing is in want of a fuselage so I had to draw one and a tail, this is the result. Now the wait for a nice day to try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
