Dwain Dibley. Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) Couldn't leave it alone , so I assembled the engine. Leads and exhaust to make. Balsa cement was the glue of choice here.

Dwain Dibley. Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 Engine finished. Not the most scale extrusion, but hey ho, it looks OK. I might make it look oily. D.D. Wire, Tube, heated to get a bend, and masking tape to simulate the plugs. Close !! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwain Dibley. Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 Right then Chaps, the model is balanced with the batteries I just bought specifically for her, from H.K., 3s 3700. I have made a stop plate so the batts stay where they are supposed to. I can add lead to this if needs be. I have added some comfy Velcro to the batts so they don't slide about too much either. I may add some foam "Chocks". I made an extension lead for the ESC, as it was difficult to connect up once the battery was in place. Pilot is on a bit of Velcro, so he can have a break if he needs one. Just need some nice weather now to maiden. I also have the Cessna 120 to maiden too. Cripes ?. D.D. Balanced ?? The stop plate. With the cowl on, I cut a vent. The Pilot and the extension lead. The Battery, I pair back the shrink wrap and add softer Insulation tape. All Velcroed up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrman Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I don't know if it's balanced as I can't see if the tailplane is level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
