Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 The plan view was ok because it didn't need to be the right size, i can just trim along the side of the one i have already made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I got the exhaust silencer made on my grandad's lathe, we first put it into the 4 jaw chuck to face it off to get a rectange 12 x 30 x 45 then milled out the slots in the side and then drilled out the exhaust hole and mounting screws, and it is made of aircraft grade aluminium I think i will just build the plane without the cowl to begin with, cause me being very dopey, i cut out the formers when i forgotten about the fuse width problem hope to have it flying soon!!! (That is if i can find the plan after all this time!) Edited By Peter Savage on 23/08/2009 12:54:41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Good news i have found the magazine, still cant find the plan, shame cause i have 80% built it do you still have the original drawing Peter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 No, I had a clear out a while ago but I could copy the magazine plan next time I go to town. It would cost about £5 including copying two sides and postage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I mainly only need the tail surfaces and the fuselage formers on top of the wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Cracking on with the build, some kind person gave me their plan so now i have got up to the fuselage sheeting: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Putting a Maxi tank red in it, i think it is 6oz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Would have some more pics, but i am not on my laptop, this one does not have an SD slot Done the front fuse sheeting and filling on the back fuse sheeting, i have a feeling this will be heaps better than my miss demeanor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Decided to do a made up tail to save weight and balsa, and mainly cause I like doing em, don't know why! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Cast an oblong lead weight for the rudder earlier today and epoxied it into the rudder. I HAD to see what it was like all put together! I can tell it is gonna look awesome and i WILL have it done in a few weeks, i hope to get it finished in time to take it to the RCM&E funfly and hopefully have enough time to finish my other models not wanting to rush them or anything! Anyway, the photos have finished uploading If anyone wants to look at all my photos you can look at the facebook album (even if you don't have facebook):http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=94508&id=613847095&l=27f0d701c0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Just doing the cockpit sheeting now, soon, like the changing of season, it will not be balsa shavings littering the table, but covering offcuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I found the AWOL throttle servo I have been turfed off the table for a brother's school project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 got most of the sheeting on the cockpit now, canopy is in the post! I am really getting into this model, I just hope it flies better than my Miss Demeanor! Must get some piccies up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno Racer Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Peter, Will there be a CNC set/plan pack available for this soon; traplet or myhobbystore? I would love to build this, and the Denight Special, but do not have the time to cut out all the bits by hand (my hobby jig saw is rubbish and I am still finishing my Sig Wonder, 4Star40, and Nijhuis Hurricane. (all about 90%) Thanks for all your superb designs, keep 'em coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 As far as I know there will be no pack for this model or the Denight Special. They were designed before I got involved with SLEC. You could send the plan to SLEC and ask them if they would cut a set of parts out for you. Traplet only do their own plans. There is another company called Belaire that cut out sets of parts from people's plans. They never bother to ask the designer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Last bit of cockpit sheeting glued on, waiting patiently to be wetted, steamed and glued! Still debating whether to put 35mhz in it, is it normal to not reach 10 paces with the aerial down? it has been so long since we used 35mhz properly I can't really remember :s it's that or nick a receiver out my other planes but I have to much fun with my other models! Can't wait to have a scale aerobat in my arsenal!!! Bit of useless trivia, the head of Belair laser cutting is part of my grandad's flying club in Norfolk!

Peter Miller Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Ten paces, aerail down is NOT enough, should be about 100 to 150 feet at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I do still get control but when i move it fast it stops and is uncontrollable for half a second then it goes to where you tell it to, can't tell if it is the Tx or the Rx, maybe i could try those cheap 2.4ghz units, they would be better than nothing :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Sounds like a bad connection in the Tx. possibly in the battery area. Might be the Crystal. Send it back for service! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I got a 77, I will try the 73 crystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 It won't let me show pictures at the moment, it crashes when i open the image inputter, will put them up later. Put the pushrod outers in and part of the bottom sheet is on, done one wing tip and done the tail fairings, hoping to get the blue covering soon! The Fuse will be nearly finished soon!

Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Turns out the 35mhz problem, it was a dodgey cheap servo, strange how it stopped working after a certain range :sEdited By Peter 'Servo Scrounger' Savage on 10/03/2010 16:39:44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
