Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

[BalsaDust]

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 servo will screw too gets 1/8” hardwood

New fuse of current build. Here I hadn’t put the horizontal pieces in yet as I didn’t have the servos in hand to set the opening correctly.

Thanks for the info the two in the tail just ahead of the stabilizer, good to know. Like the way you add a small piece of hardwood on top some balsa to mount the servo neat efficient and with very little weight added.

Still have not had a chance to get back to the cad drawing but hopefully tomorrow. Make some changes and let you guys see it. Making progress slowly but that is what it is all about the journey.

Just ordered my tubes from Goodwin.
0.602 Fuse
O.745 Wing

Plan on trying to wrap my own sleeve. Nothing like trying something new and exciting!

Spent some time on the cad drawing again and changed the location of the front spar and moved it back as BalsaDust had suggested. Had move a few things around but all is good now. And just added another rib to support the servo in the wing.

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

I just added the rib there it will Centre the servo on the aileron and hopefully have less twist.

Did the layout for the servo in the wing and it looks like a short connection will do the trick. Just have to install a small balsa block in place in the aileron and that should do the job.
