Build Log
RaySER F3-RES from Canada
On of my club mates, Ray Munro, has designed a new F3-RES ship, intended for members of our club to build.
I've been given the first full cut of the to build. This is a first-pass cut, so some aspects are rough on it. In terms of design, the configuration is similar to the Allegro Lite and X-RES, and it's a fully wood build, with a balsa box fuselage, flying stab forward of the fin and the spar system is all wood. The wing is an AG3x series with a D-Box. The box I received: The laser cut Fuselage bits (plus the neat ribbed spoilers Ray has done) Cutting out the pre-cut forward stringers for the fuselage. All the forward fuselage side bits together Next I'll be gluing the stringers to the forward sides, so I can use them to align the rear sides. |

I think he should make the name be SER Ray instead and give it a kind of Game of Thrones vibe.

Ribbed spoilers?

Awesome! I have been watching everyday (as in 2 days!) since you received the kit for your build forum! So exciting! The designing and production of this kit has become much more involved and complicated that Ray ever imagined! I'll be following your post with great interest as will a lot of other members of our club! We look forward to your comments and recommendations as you proceed! Cheers! Lyle Hamilton, Ontario. |

I guess this project might be why I’ve missed seeing one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met at the Nats recently. We need his smile and cheerful personality back in Muncie. Good luck on the project.

Finally got some time at the bench last night & today. Working on the fuselage for now.
Yesterday I spent cutting out the formers, which are Balsa ply (2 pieces of balsa laminated with opposite grain). Then started on the stringers. First stringer on: Then the rest after letting the first one dry overnight Next up will be getting the rear fuselage sections attached and the formers laminated and ready to install. At that point I'll move to the wing as I need the wing to ensure the formers are located correctly. Ray has designed an alternate, lighter set of tips and sent me the ribs for them. I'll be building both sets. |
