Cuban8 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Always a good idea to have a picture or screensaver of your current project in view to help you through the "why did I ever start this" moments............. Beautiful job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Great as always Tony. I love your idea of "slowly getting there". Two weeks? It would take me two months to get half as far as that! BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan p Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Masterclass in depron, is it ducted fan or prop driven. Do you publish your plans? Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 the bin is for when i scream enough. twin pusher props as this one is only the first prototype. i am not going mad on detail as i just want to see if it will fly. the mk2 will have retracts, droop snoot and twin edf's.

Martyn K Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 CSB may want to build one of these Martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 no plans for this one, all drawn straight onto the depronand then built by eye. drawing up plans for a one off build takes longer than the build... normally. he he he Tony B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Bennett Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 Got everything all wired up with the plan being to finish sheeting the wings. only to find that one esc was not working. arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so i only managed to sheet half the wing, though i have started sheeting one side of the fuselage as well. plodding on Tony B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 sheeted one side of the fuselage, will do the otherside when i have sorted out the esc issue. hoping to sort the u/c tomorrow. plodding on. Tony B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Bennett Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 not been as hard as i expected. ok i have not gone scale on the wing as this is just a sports model. if this works and flies i shall revisit the drawings and go a bit more scale for the next one.

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Looking great Tony. What's the overall length and is it designed to come apart length-wise for transport? BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 the front section of the fuselage from the u/c leg forward is removable. that way it will fit in the car in just two pieces. wingspan:- 44 inches length :-103 inches weight :- 4lb 8oz with motors, esc, servos and 5000mah 4s lipo. i am aiming to keep it under 6lb.

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Smart. Looking forward to seeing the results of the work in the air! If it flies half as look as it looks its going to be a winner! BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
