Ernie Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Hi Fury builders, Heres a master set of instruments. They are not 100% accurate, but should be good enough for our purposes. Of course, no two aircraft are the same, so I've done my best. Any ideas for improvements greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McG 6969 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Indeed great stuff, Ernie. May I ask why you have two 'boost' gauges? Some Kestrel versions had a 'double stage' supercharger for high altitude power. Could that be the reason for them? Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Bastow Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The Cambridge Bomber and Fighter Society is restoring a Fury and has some useful pics on there website which might help builders.

Graham LL Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Danny I purchased a full Fury kit from Traplet before they went under and I am slowly working through the build. I have just found this forum and have read most of the useful comments from you all, particularly those on the cowl and the brass parts. Are there still any copies of the brass parts for sale? The main part trouble that I have had so far was that F6 seems to be too wide and created a bulge in the paneling that is not there on the original. Thanks Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Mc G, I 've no idea why there are two boost gauges ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 No probs, Ernie. We all need an 'extra' boost every now and then. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Andrews 1 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Hi Danny I.m not sure what a PM is!! When I know you better I'll tell you how old I am, I saw a while ago a notification about the Fury build and immediately sent for the plans expecting there would be a series of articles in RCM&E starting in November, As there wasn't I emailed someone who should have known but he told me you didn't get enough starters and the idea fell through. Luckily in this month's RCME there is a mention of the thread. I have spent a pleasant and informative afternoon reading all the posts.. Todfay I have ordered all the bits from Sarik. I would be grateful if I may join the "class" Regards, Jim Andrews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Hi Jim, PM just means 'private massage'... err... 'message'... You'll find the link at the bottom left of every member posting a public message. Regarding your membership to the Master Class, it's up to Danny to answer you, but I would possibly say 'Welcome to Insanity'. @ Graham > regarding the brass parts, I guess it would be best to send a PM to Ernie as he provided the bunch of us with the etched bits. Maybe he's still having a 'leftover'? Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Fenton Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Hi Jim, not sure who would have said insufficient starters? As Chris says welcome to the build!If you can use pm to let me know your email, there is a mailing list for us to keep up to date with plan corrections, former redraws etcFor example Andy has just drawn new upper wing ribs showing rails for seperate servos.Anyway if you can create a thread in the Fury section and introduce yourself to the class CheersDanny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Fenton Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I have had an email address from Graham (posted slightly up the page) And I have forwarded the former outlines to correct the errors on the plan. This is the benefit of getting your email address onto my mailing list. So if you are building and haven't sent me your address, then send it to me in a PM Don't post email addresses on the open forum.

Colin Leighfield Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Dick Van Mourik describes difficulties in ground handling and problems with wing-tips scraping the ground, which he resolved by widening the undercarriage 50mm. He also used a thicker gauge wire axle, although that won’t arise with the Dowty undercarriage version, has anyone thought about that? This is definitely going to be a model that needs into wind take-offs and landings, not always so easy on some flying sites. The tailwheel versions might be a bit easier if steerable I suppose. (I just watched the video that Danny posted on Facebook of the beautiful Albatros DVa veering off the runway on landing and tipping over, losing a wheel in the process). I can easily widen mine but I probably need to lengthen the legs to avoid it sitting at too shallow an angle on the ground and not looking right. That means re-making the whole lot, although at this stage I can do it if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hi graham, Yes,I think ive got a set. I'll check it out and let you know later today. Alternatively, you can contact the etcher, and he will cut a set for you ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Rusby Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Andy, Danny kindly sent a copy of your method of mounting the wing servos. What servos would you recommend ? I have been looking at flat wing servos, they seem powerful enough but I am unsure about the servo arm length I can fit in. Any tips welcomed...

McG 6969 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hi Stuart. Andy's rib drawing is made following the dimensions of the Corona CS-239MG slim wing servo. I got mine from HK (EU Warehouse) but if needed, Banggood stocks them as well. Hope this helps. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Sephton 1 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Posted by Stuart Rusby on 03/12/2018 12:26:53: Andy, Danny kindly sent a copy of your method of mounting the wing servos. What servos would you recommend ? I have been looking at flat wing servos, they seem powerful enough but I am unsure about the servo arm length I can fit in. Any tips welcomed... This is the servo I'm using Stuart: I have to say at this point that I have no experience of using the servo. In fact, although I've been flying RC semi-regularly for the past 40 odd years, the last four channel RC scale aircraft I built was in 1983! SO, I'm shooting very much in the dark on this one. Anyway, my plan was to try to mirror the position of the existing model aileron control but substituting the servo for the bell crank. The servo can be mounted horizontally with the servo arm offset to mirror the bell crank's line of operation: The next pic shows the servo arm superimposed over the rib. My aim is to use the innermost hole and cut the rest off, but just in case I need more movement, I'm leaving the final sizing of the arm until the model is assembled. The next photo shows the skewed servo arm on the servo. It's printed upside down, so the TE is to the left of the picture and the lower surface of the wing is upwards, if you see what I mean.

Jim Andrews 1 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Reading all the posts I missed I see that at one time builders declared the power type they intend using, in my case that will be i/c. Anyone got a Laser 120 surplus to requirements, please? Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Fenton Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Good luck finding one Jim, they are getting harder to come by. Sad to say I have never owned one, keep meaning to get one, one day...... Do they still etch your name on them? or is that a myth?
