Very nice Skyman!

I have a set of plans for a 1/4 scale version, so I'll watch your build with great interest.

s2000 · Oct 07, 2009, 08:42 PM

What scale is it?

prodjx · Oct 08, 2009, 03:52 AM

One of my favorites. Good luck.

Hi There,
Looking good

is that the real fuselage or are you going to make a mold first ? keep up the good work.
Regards
Mike

The SKY MAN · Oct 08, 2009, 10:26 AM

Ok one by one
Mikegbogh
In the pics is the start of the plug so i can make a mold. The plug is from two sheets of 75mm blue foam, covered in glass and epoxy.Still more work to complete on the plug before a mold is made but will keep you all posted

s2000
Scale is 1/4 i.e: 3.75M span Wing section HQ 3.5/14.13.12, tail NACA 0010

DT56

Sent you a PM regarding plans.

The SKY MAN · Oct 08, 2009, 04:37 PM

Hi
by the way mikegbogh
It was your build that finally got me started on this project
Remember i don't build as quick as you (you have too much spare time)

Thanks anyway
Iain

Hi Iain,
I am so pleased you were motivated to build your own molded ship, you will feel a great sense of achievement one day when it flies, I know I do and it has become a damn obsession in my life.

But as you go and develop your own building techniques and methods, it becomes easier,what you have acheived so far is excellent, I too always thought it almost impossible to do yourself ..but it's not.

Sure you wont have the slick shapes and finishes of the beautiful European kits , but it is possible to get close and at far less expense.
Good luck I will be following your build until it flies.

Regards from Sunny South Africa
Mike

ps Hope you consider doing the lovely red/white scheme in your photo

Just looked at who was looking at what

42 views at the tail photo

so for those that are interested the servo is a savox coreless digital micro, 4.0 kg cm pull, although not in the picture the servo arm has 2 carbon arms with a pin at the end that travels in a carbon guide in the fuz sorry you'll have to wait for photos.

Well I'm going totally crazy looking all over the house for my set of plan's for an Edelweiss. They were done by the same guy that did a set of similar scaled plan's for another favorite of mine the ASW-15b. I'll keep looking and let you guy's know when I find them.

Sucess! I found the plan's. Stinking Califoria closet system. This model is 1/5th scale with a 117" W.S. Are we cool now Bob?

bobthenuke · Oct 11, 2009, 09:23 AM

Cool as always, Dave.
