    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    A good reference I can give is this. There have been a handful of planes I originally designed and drew on paper by hand before I had CAD. I have converted most to CAD at this point and it takes me about 30 hours per plane to do and that's just slowly taking measurements and transferring it to...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    New toy today. It’s the eflite pitts. It’s a very well put together other than the pins that hold wing struts on are a pain to install. Really like that the battery is mounted to a removable tray for easy install. Maybe a maiden tomorrow but there is supposed to be rain tomorrow so it may wait.

    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    I agree with everyone else. Grind the firewall edge back to clear it all. Glue in some hardwood tristock on the inside of it in that spot. And just let it roll with the prop clearance. Will look fine.

    Krill 39% Ultimate 300KS Assembly And Paint

    That's probably mostly companies knowing its an insurance job and charging way more. Was the same thing on my truck when I was rear ended and pushed into another vehicle. Just needed two bumpers. Looked it all up and could order the stuff myself all brand new for around $400. Insurance wanted to...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    If you look at a full scale yak or sukhoi most have the prop spaced out in front of the cowl by a good bit so I don’t think it will look odd at all.

    I’m going out flying thread 2019

    These are from a funfly from last year and was just sent them yesterday. About 20 photos total but only posting a couple. Pretty neat through the process of launching and apparently I make some weird faces doing so.

    Looks good. No need for the extra rib but won’t hurt anything either.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Yes sir. Here’s the original one I did way back in 2014 and hand drew the plans. The new one is getting scaled up a bit.

    IMAC Scratch build Laser 200

    It’s a steep learning curve for sure but FrSky has come up with some amazing stuff at affordable cost. love my old taranis x9d+ If it wasn’t for flying DLG’s I would upgrade to the X10S.

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    These are all of thesmaller glitter jr but same idea as it’s the same plane just smaller. Original prototype fuse you can see the smaller openings towards the rear You can see here how they pass through the fuse. I like to laminate the stringers here. Mostly balsa but the side the...

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    Everything up front looks great. Servos in the tail should be moved forward some though. Also we normally just mount them going through the fuse. I will find a picture and post it.

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    Ok I crunched the numbers this morning. I normally base things off of around 33% of the root cord measurement. This puts the CG at 6.25" for the LE which is pretty much dead center of the rear servo rail in the wing and also lines up with the spot on the fuse I referenced last night. Hope that's...
