Yep, it's a real kit. Big box of wood and a set of plans!
Thanks for the glue offer, I have lots. Got about 12 bottles
from Mighty Small Cars a few weeks ago. Best deal in town for ca. Smiley

Took quite a while to cut all the holes. A lot more stuff has been lighten then just what you see here. Almost a pound out of the old over designed kit.

If you look close you can see the hardwood spars are also replaced with a balsa carbon fiber laminated one. This stuff all adds up to unwanted weight.

Now, if you can remember how to apply Monokote, you'll be all set. Plane's looking good, Al!

i would agree with Jack
especially the frames and bulkheads
I would look at 1/64 ply doublers where there is fuse torsion

the biggest stress on an airframe [ in this case the empennage] comes in a manoeuver which is called a rolling pull-up

the landing gear shock loads have to be carried through the fuse

image yourself as part of the airframe and feel where the loads are distributing

Have you ever seen inside a modern 50cc size and up plane?
Trust me there's not much there and every gram counts.

Here's a shot of a foam core I did some years back. Foam and a couple carbon fiber strips held that together, and it's still going today

Yes. If you think this is too light, you don't want to be looking too hard at my AJ Slick.

This topic has been beat to death on every discussion forum known to man for a total of 9382 times. I have seen many DA's die, DLE's die, 3W's die and so on. With either one you roll the dice and hope it works. DA seems to have the edge on customer service.

Depends on your definition of "best". You could ask 20 people the same question and get 20 different answers. If I were foolish enough to be looking for a 50cc airframe shaker, I would probably end up with a DA60.

Hi Al,

One more question...sry

What engine are you planning on putting in this?

I'm trying to find out the difference in quality/ reliability of a DLA vs DLE vs DM vs DA

obviously the DA 's are the best, but how do the others rate?

Thanks,

Brian

I'm going to try a DA 85 in it. If that doesn't pull it well enough then I'm going to put a DA 120. That engine doesn't weigh much more then the 85.

Googled this photo, thought was a nice colour scheme.

I like Ben's scheme
but i would change the "red"
when I use to spray paint finishes using the epoxy paints
cough hack cough ...trouble breathing...

i use to take the red and add a little orange to the mix
it created the most vivid red i have ever seen

not sure where you would find a covering like that

That last one I posted you liked is actually a full size Ultimate based somewhere in Ontario.

I am on a mission now I found some more Grin

I have also always liked Rob Holland's scheme although it is on a MXS-RH and not a bipe but might still work.

Brian, I don't want to get into that here. Let just say they sold me a piece of junk and seem to be quite ok with that.
If you want the whole story then call me. I would be more then happy to tell you about it.

In this one you can see that the engine has an offset. that's common, but I didn't measure how far forward the engine had to go. That's proven to be a mistake, it's off by an inch and a half and to farther complicate things the cowl doesn't have the same offset as the firewall.

I think I got lucky on this one.

I like west system epoxy for this. It's a great product that sands well and well suited for this job. The 410 weights nothing and is a great filler that withstands gravity.

Brian

I have never used a matchbox before and know very little about then. I'm a Futaba guy.

I plan to run each servo in it's own channel onto an s-bus hub.
That way I can adjust each one individually with the transmitter. Cool

This s-bus stuff is really neat. the receiver only has 2 channels and 2 s-bus ports in it, runs on a 2S lypo and is very small.
It's the lightest radio set-up I have ever had! Cheesy
