Danny Fenton Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Yes Martyn I had included you. Hi chaps, I am going to leave it that you arrange with the cutter yourself rather than me order a number of sets. But best to wait for the quote for wood and glass hinge sets. Not sure how Ernie is getting on with the etched bits? Cheers Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Hi Guys, Ernie is getting on with etched bits. I reckon that there are around 50 bits.. I don't have a price yet,. There is an ominous silence from the company that makes the parts; I asked for a quote last wednesday. If I don't get anything over the weekend, I'll call them on Monday. If there's a big problem, I'll try someone else ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Fenton Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 So....just thinking of the cut parts and hinges Danny F Martyn K Andy S Tony B David A Jose LG Colin L That's great, I can at least dangle the carrot of seven potential orders when talking prices I have been following the build Rem, it has come out well. I was chatting to Richard Dalgleish and he has had a slight mishap with hisy Fury, he not once, but twice dug a wingtip in and broke wing spars. He is stripping the covering off the wings and repairing as we speak. The benefit to us is he has offered to take internal wing structure pics so we can see how he built it. Jose, I am very remiss, I didn't reply to your offer of spinners. I am sure a few would be very keen, and thank you. I have to be careful as to what I use, If I haven't designed or made something and I enter comps with the model then I have to declare as such, and lose points. Probably not a big deal as i want to do this for fun, but I also don't want to limit my options. I am considering dual control again, R/C and control line Cheers Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Hello to all, Hi Danny, Apologies for being on the late side with my reaction, but we just got back from sunny Ouzo-land. I'll add my 'carrot' as I'm in for the woodpack, glass parts & brass bits. I'm very probably the only 'ignorant' one here, but who is Tina? Is she with Slec? or another laser cutting office? As I'm going for an Hispano-Suiza version, I'll make a glass fiber cowl with the longer cylinder head blisters but I might be interested in Jose's carbon - or glass fiber - spinner.

Ernie Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Hi furious guys, Where can I get some good closeup photos, showing details of the airframe? ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Fenton Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Thanks Chris, sorry I missed you off the list Danny F Martyn K Andy S Tony B David A Jose LG Colin L Chris McG Hi Ernie, I have been trying to arrange a visit to Duxford and access to one there, but so far its not proving easy. Otherwise it is the web I am afraid. Cheers Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Fane Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Hi Danny Thanks for all your efforts. Really looking forward to getting thd build started. Could you include me on the list for hinge and brass parts. For info, I still do not yet have a replacement correctly sized spinner from Sarik. I'm hoping for further feedback from them soon........

Ernie Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Hi Danny and All, I've been looking at the Denis Bryant fury drawings, and have made a rough sketch of the bits that could be acid etched; The minimum size they can produce is 250x100mm, so, I've allowed more bits than are needed (to allow for the bits that end up on the floor) Also, there's a windscreen frame, pitot head etc. If anyone has close up photos, I can make them more realistic. Complex detail is no problem Price should be less than £20, depending on how many I order. Trust me, the quality is superb; Nothing is finalised, so i can incorporate any other bits and pieces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn K Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Hi Ernie. At £20 that is a no-brainer... Do you need any help doing the CAD work? Martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 That is brilliant Ernie cost is excellent given how much work it saves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Hi Guys, Before I get on to it, a few close up pix would be useful. And thanks Martyn for the offer re CAD. I'll use Adobe illustrator for this...I never did learn CAD, Architectural school in my day was strictly adjustable set square and wooden Tee; ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Fenton Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Ernie, a man of your talents could easily conquer Turbocad, I find it much easier than Illustrator. I have some ace totorials if you ever want to give it a go? Anyway talking of CAD.... I have been playing while waiting for epoxy to dry. Ignore all of this if you are going to make lots of noise and fill the sky with soot, but i am going electric as you will gather. Can't have all my detail vibrating off can we? BEBS new column featuring a Sea Fury and converting one to electric is covering similar ground so I would show my thunking to re-inforce his words. I am happy at 5S, I have several motors (5065 is a favorite) various kV around the 275 - 500 KV they will turn nice big props. So the only variable I have to play with is the capacity. However I do have one more trump card I can play, and that is to split the pack into two. In this case I have gone with the Zippy Compact (currently a favorite cell) 2700mAh. 2 of these in parralel gives me 5400mAh at 664g. A 5000mAh 5S Zippy Compact is 600g. So the density is good. The beauty of splitting the packs is I can get them both in the nose between the motor and the main bulkhead. May I present to the jury exhibit A,B, and C m'lud Unfortunately the down side is pack changing will have to be done through the cowl, either the top comes off or the bottom. Either way it probably means I will have to split the cowl. Anyway I will ponder, but this looks promising, and I defy anybody to get the cells any further forward! The servos will go directly behind the bulkhead with pull pull cables to rudder and elevator. Its all getting rather exciting isn't it Cheers Danny Edited By Danny Fenton on 05/06/2018 23:24:10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 nice forward planning Danny. I expect i won't think about anything until i start, as per usual and will then have to bodge as i go. going to be weird playing with wood again.

Danny Fenton Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Hi Tony, I am sure a modeller of your talents will cope just fine. Though I feel quite honored that you should change your whole modus operandi to join in Looking at the drawings, those that are going electric, if you are uncomfortable squeesing the batts in where I have, and there is the risk of future availability of packs that will fit. Then you could build a box behind the bulkhead, the effective c of g wont be as forward but gives more space. The horizontal layout would be difficult in the respect to pack access.
