Airplane Cradles in the Shop, What works, what doesn't?

The base doesn't have to be solid. You could cut some lightening holes in it which should help out with the shipping cost.

Yup, done. Remember, this is prototype of prototype for proof of concept. See how it comes together, may have to make a special one for GSN to give away. @SleepyC and @Bartman put your thinking caps on for a week or two. Needs to go to someone who is building something cool this building season.

I will post the final product on Tues or Wed.

Nope, you have to build a full figured airplane!

DAMMIT I think I may have forgotten how to do that. LOL
Be good for me to put my 30% Carden Cap232 I'm trying to get flight ready. Really like the wingtube holding idea though. Might have to see what scraps I have that I can work with to replicate it.

Prototype of the prototype mocked up. Found a few things I want to do different and have a design for a CNC cut tail holder. I'll do the first full test on Monday and ultimately the entire thing will go together without tools and come apart for storage. It will also have casters.

See what you dun did @Pistolera !!!!

We used the little one to cut two ends, the big machine can cut two stands out of a sheet in about 4-5 minutes.

roll one out and put our names on it, we'll find a fun way to give it away.

maybe, entrants will send me their old cradles and i'll see who needs replacement the most**. We can do a 100cc airframe contest the same way and give the winner a new Viper**


**all contest entries become the property of GiantScaleNews.com, no returns

 

[Naughty Monkey]

Sounds like a great contest, as long as I am the only one stupid enough to enter!!!!

 

[Terryscustom]

Viper NOT included......trust me!
