The build was very similar to the Hammer which is understandable as they are both produced by Bejzyk. The Mefisto has a 1.9m span and weighs 820 grams Images View all Images in thread Views: 34 The first job was to seal the end of the wing joiner and then glue into place, the wing roots had to be re cut to form the required dihedral Views: 15 The Vee tail is then joined together and I reinforced the joint with GRP Views: 13 Whilst using GRP I also took the opportunity to strengthen the inner nose Views: 6 Cutting into the wing root to fit a hard blocks through which the wing fixing bolts will pass through, there are four of these in total Views: 8 Looking down the fuse, I have shaped a ply plate into which the wing bolt nuts have been installed Views: 22 Due to the wing profile I had to use a slim wing servo so I chose Hobbyking, they appear to work fine on the bench! Views: 14 The ply skin which I initially removed was re glued into the aperture to provide a bit more strength, the servo is kept in place with double sided sticky tape Views: 19 I decided to use ball joints to secure the tail controls, this should reduce some slop Views: 26 The nose. Futaba S3154 servo's, cheap clevis's, 6V 950 mAh battery pack and a full nose of lead Views: 9 Views: 11 Two coats of West systems resin on the wings, some orange go faster stripes and all is done
