A WORD OF ADVICE ! THIS IS NOT THE BEST QUALITY OF RTF AND I HAD TO STRIP OFF ALL THE SOFT WOOD TRIANGULAR BULKHEAD SUPPORTS (ACTUALLY THEY NEARLY FELL OFF AS THE HOT GLUE HADN’T CONTACTED MOST OF THE WOOD) AND REPLACED THEM WITH HARD WOOD SUPPORTS EPOXIED IN PLACE FOR STRENGTH !
NEXT I HAD TO FLOOD EVERY PLUG JOINT I COULD GET AT IN THE FUESLAGE WITH THIN CYNO (USED NEARLY A WHOLE BOTTLE) BECAUSE THE HOT GLUE WAS USELESS, ALSO HAD TO FLOOD GLUE AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE MAIN SPAR TUBE INSIDE THE WING WITH THIN CYNO FOR EXTRA STRENGTH, THE HOT GLUE WASN’T TOUCHING THE SPAR TUBE / WOOD IN SOME PLACES – TWATS !
ONCE I WAS HAPPY THE BULKHEAD WASNT GOING TO FALL OUT ON FULL THROTTLE I FUEL PROOFED THE WHOLE BULKHEAD PLUS ENGINE BAY ETC,
WELL WE FINALLY FOUND A BREAK IN THIS F….G CRAP WEATHER WEVE BEEN HAVING LATELY AND POPPED DOWN THE PATCH TO MAIDEN OUR NEW WINTER HACK !
SHES AROUND 72 INCH WINGSPAN AND WEIGHS 11 LBS DRY,
SHES POWERED BY A DLE 30cc PETROL / GAS ENGINE WITH PITTS STYLE MUFFLER TURNING A 19X8 MENZ WOODEN PROP,
WE ARE USING A 5 CELL 6 VOLT 2200 MAH NIMH FLAT PACK BATT FOR THE RADIO GEAR AND A 4 CELL 4.8 VOLT 2200 MAH NIMH FLAT PACK BATT FOR THE IGNITION,
WE ARE FLYING HER ON SPEKTRUM AND USING AN AR 8000 RX,
THE MAIDEN WAS CUT SHORT BECAUSE WE HAD TO MUCH ELEVATOR TRAVEL AND SHE WAS TWITCHY AS HELL (DEANO SET IT UP – TWAT – LOL) SO LANDED HER AND REDIALED THE ELEVATOR IN, SHES BALANCED ON THE SPAR AND IS SURPRISINGLY HARD TO STALL AS YOU CAN SEE DEANO HELD FULL ELEVATOR IN ON TICK OVER INTO ABOUT A 10 MPH HEAD WIND AND SHE JUST NODDED HER NOSE UP AND DOWN SO HE PUT A LITTLE AILERON IN TO INITIATE THE SPIN WHICH SHE PERFORMED REALLY WELL AND NICE AND FLAT !
