Graeme Poke Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I love that Cessna Karl. Never been aware of it. I would very much like to build one of these too. Is there a plan please Karl? Cheers Graeme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl-Georg Krafft Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Hello Greame Poke, I drew my own plans based on a 3-view by R.S.Hirsch. I could send you a copy of this 3-view if scratch-building is no problem for you. Karl-Georg 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Poke Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Yes please Karl. That would be great. I have been looking for a new project from between the wars and that is certainly different. Thank you, Graeme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Davies 3 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Laydeeez and Genulmen, I give you.... Regianne RE2005 The latest product from the G Davies/ E Robson/ R Wills skunkworks, a foamboard scratch build. Built using a mix of FliteTest Maker Foam and Hobby craft foam board with a small amount of ply, lightply and balsa. It's a full-fat flaps and retracts warbird at 55" span.I had hoped to fly it on my little 2200 3S packs, but I've been guilty of a heavy back end, which is a repeating theme in my life... Had I got away with the 3S packs, it would have been 3lb 10 Oz ready to fly. Sadly, I will need to use big 4S packs to get the thing to balance, so will now tip the scales just over 4lb. Hardly porky though. Some scale liberties have been taken with the undercarriage position in order to make a practical model. Our strip is bumpy and doesn't suit tall, narrow undercarriages. The positions are cribbed directly from My (originally Peter's) Ballerina. That copes perfectly with the strip, so is a great role (roll) model. It's covered in brown paper and PVA, although the tail feathers are not covered at all, just painted directly onto the hobbycraft board. It's then sprayed with watered down emulsion paint. It's a really cheap build. I reckon the material cost in the finished and painted airframe is no more than £25. If I can satisfy myself that everything is ok, I will maiden her tomorrow...

Eric Robson Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Well done Graham, who needs balsa when you can make something like that for a fraction of the price. My foamboard and maker foam BF110 has had 85 flights now and I am flying it on Sunday for the BMFA 100, if it had not been so windy this week it would have been its 100 flight. Not enough batteries to do 14 flights tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took off straight as a die and needed just 3 clicks of down. Sadly, a radio problem meant a forced landing which ripped the retracts out. Easily fixed though... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could be a number of potential causes, but I suspect the receiver is duff. I had am issue with another receiver which has since been 'retired'. That issue was total loss of control. This one was progressively slow/ soft response (aileron) with the occasional spurious control surface movement (up elevator). There may be all manner of causes, which are very difficult to prove or disprove now. But twice is becoming a habit, and if I'm honest, Ive lost my confidence in the gear. It's all quite old so time to modernise, I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piers Bowlan Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) Great looking model Graham. Respect! Sorry to hear about your unfortunate rapid arrival due to control issues. As it is the second time this has happened it is likely a common cause? Did you use the same motor ESC in both models or if a separate RX battery, the same battery? Whether a complete loss of control or slow servos with glitching, both could point to a problem with the power supply with Rx and servos. Two duff Rx? Probably not very likely. Just my 2p worth.

leccyflyer Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Very nice Graham - glad that your radio issues didn't prove fatal to a beautiful model and look forward to seeing more piccies in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
