Piers Bowlan Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Peter, so 60in span and .21 engine. When can we look forward to the plan in RCM & E? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 The plan was submitted a couple of weeks ago but I have the Roamer plan coming out first (Next month) so it will be three or four months at least. that decision is up to the editor. The flaps are terrific. I came in at 20 feet up and with fifty feet to the end of the runway I popped full flap and landed before the end of the runway. If I hadn't it would have been miles beyond.

Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 another weird and wonderful design that has been waiting patiently to be modelled! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 It hasn't been waiting long. The plans have only recently been released for home builders. There are only a couple flying at the moment but lots of plan sets have ben sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Bowlan Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 I like the plan Peter, a little bit different, so I am looking forward to it as my winter build. I have a new OS 30 4S lurking in my shed looking for a home and wondered if it might be suitable for the Luciole? A little heavier than the 21 you used but then the design needed three Oz of lead in the nose for the C of G. Would the front end need a little beefing with the four stroke? I am considerind an electric alternative which might work with the right motor/battery combo. Decisions, decisions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Yes, YOur FS 30 will be more than enough power. I don't really think it will need any beefing up. I use the same construction for .32 two strokes. Don't ask me about electrics. I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere in the 300-400 watts range, I think. Lovely looking model there Peter! tim Edited By Tim Hooper on 30/10/2009 15:17:54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
