Krill Extra 330 LX building thread

Love the fan idea to keep the engine cool, but I don't think they are going to clear the prop!

Gorgeous plane, nice set up.

What an awesome plane and build thread! I really had no clue Krill planes were that nice. Great pictures.

Hey Addi!

Plane looks great. I'm very interested in his plane, but am curious about the wings.

Can you weigh a wing panel? Ready to fly, servos, links.... Just as they would go on the plane.

@MattyMatt great to hear from you.
The right wing is 62.2oz
The left wing is 62.6oz

I know it's not like a Carden but from what I've heard and seen it does great snaps and stops instantly.

If I recall, these wings also now have the reverse tapered ailerons (as the full scale does), where the aileron chord is greater at the tips than at the root ends.

Sure it will. Just mount that motor so the prop hangs out there like a Sukhoi and all is well.

Any updates you would like to share?

Waiting for the engine and cans.
Did order the props and NACA ducts I'm about to install as well.
Mean while I'm still flying my old SU 29.

 

[TazmanianDevil]

OK
Got the engine today.
Worth every minute I've been waiting for it.
Shine right like a diamond.
The new, more light middle exhaust cans are awesome too.
Now it's time to find a ladder, a couple of good friends and a lot of patience to install it.
Stay tuned boys.

Hi Taz!

I just did my first set of Secraft pull/pull connectors. I put the brass sleeve in the connector vs outside the connector. Probably good either way, I suspect.

The rudder setup.
Like I said before I will need to take all apart so I'll be able to transport it in my car.
The rudder for that is a must.
So with the Secraft pull pull kit it's like 123.
The rudder movement is not like 3D planes it moves about 30-40 degrees not more.
Why pull pull and not push pull well there are some pros and cons but since I'm flying only on paved roads I had bad experience with push pull, every landing I was needed to replace a servo not enough flexibility and when I fly you must have a stirring wheel.

The ball links are connected up and down the bellcrank so the cables won't touch one another.
The tension in the cables are all the way when you move the rudder krill made the horns and the bellcrank the same length so when you install the ball links on the end of the arm where the offset is, it keeps the tension the entire way.
