Peter Miller Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 These days I find difficulty in starting from scratch so I have gone back to old subjects. I have chosen to enlarge and electrify my Velie Monocoupe from my 1995 plan. It now has a span of 48" for a small electric motor. it will b very light and quite a build BUT it will be pretty economical. Basic sides built from 1/8" sq Spruce 1/64" ply doublers with grain vertical and light ply formers Fuselage basically built. Battery will sit almost vertically behind F-1 Battery hatch between undercarriage legs. Wing held down with 4mm nylon bolts. Servo rails seen in front of rear former, battery platform with Velcro mount shown. Underside of cabin area Wing construction is simple but cutting out all those ribs is tedious specially when you ad the nose ribs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Ryan Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I love the Velie Monocoupe. Such a pretty little plane. There's a guy in my club that built one with an open rocker OS. Everytime I see it I say to him "I hope you're looking after my plae" hahaha. Maybe I'll get around to building one one day. I have a couple of small 4 strokes that are spare so I'd use one of those 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 I did an .25 powered version for Traplet many years ago (December 96 RC Model World) Sarik don't seem to list it now, even in their unclassified plans. Possibly your best bet would be to enlarge mine or one of the others from Outer Zone plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
