Richard Harris Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 Thank you Stephen Have given all the parts a lick of paint, just need to add the plugs, exhausts and HT leads. Out of interest it has ended up weighing 22g so all in all I expect 25g which is respectable, outer diameter is 160mm. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Harris Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 With the wings 90% complete I couldn't resist putting it all together. Wings have been stretched to just under 70" with the dihedral being reduced by half, full length ailerons have been attached but 'm contemplating splitting them and adding flaps. As it stands, without any clothing on and the motor fitted it weighs around the 1400 g mark (3lbs ish) so I am guessing 4 -5lbs AUW. I'm hoping tomorrow will be ok outside so I can get to sand it all. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Gooderham Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hi Richard, Just in the throws of building your little Snap dragon from RCME plan... Lovely little build, It is going to be remembered as my work build that I built during my redundancy period! Quick Question though, what size spinner did you use?, I have just carved me cowl today, and looking at a spinner diameter of 35mm!.. thanks tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Harris Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 Hi Tom, Sorry for the late reply, have just measured my spinner and it is 25mm diameter though it is smaller than the ply disc at the front of the cowl by several mm.

Richard Harris Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 We had a gent turn up at our autogyro fly-in who had brought along his Snap Dragon to show me, it was a bit windy to fly it as we were getting gusts of nearly 30mph. He is going to let me know how it goes, here are a few photos I took of his immaculate example, I like the way he did his canopy. I may borrow his scheme when I get back on my larger version.
