    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    Before doing the powering work, decided to fab up the cooling duct. I fellow over on the RC Scalebuilder site provided a copy of the file he used to cut a baffle for his FG61TS mounted on BUSA Ercoupe. Had a local fellow cut it out on a laser cutter, this will be attached to the duct section...

    Mounted the nose wheel servo and finished the linkage. Milled a 5/32" hex on the end of the 10-32 stud to allow use of a 5/32" hex driver. Next moving on to powering the servos and ignition from the RB30+ redundancy bus mounted under the back seats.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    Shorten the upper half of the nose wheel strut and took 3/8" off the nose wheel bearing to make room for the linkage. I don't want to cut the cowl so the nose wheel must be removable to remove the cowl. No big deal, how often do you take the cowl off anyway once things are worked out. Pop the...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    Started fabbing the exhaust. The Saito FG61 exhaust port is a threaded 15mm x 1mm connection. Elbows and flexible tube are provided with the engine. I plan to make the exhaust out of K&S brass tube. I was surprised to find a 15mm x 1mm tap and die set on Amazon. My plan is to make a...

    Spent some time on the landing gear. Mounted the main pants to the gear and set the thrust washer for the nose wheel to the correct length.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    Worked out the throttle and choke servos, the nose wheel servo will be mounted on the left side in the same manner. Was worried about the flex in the firewall possibly breaking the motor mount so the 1/4" thick aluminum strips were added. Once the nose wheel servo is mounted , need to install...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Rib tape is normally 2" wide so 3/4" is closer to the correct width for 1/3 scale.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build
