    3D Vertigo build, any interest in a build?

    The hinges. Had a heck of a time with the aileron hinges on the first wing panel. Mainly because I don't know what I'm doing!! I had to cut new g10 hinges from old pilot arf kits to make it work. The hinges have a g10 piece that is to be put behind a lite ply strip that is glued to to...

    3D Vertigo build, any interest in a build?

    A few pictures of the tail feathers fitted to the fuse. They are still rough and will need some sanding to get them ready to cover. The hinges are working out good. The wings. The previous builder glued in the wing spars with gorilla glue which is okay but I think he went a little overboard...

    That would be a nice way of sheeting it. How do you make sure it is perfectly straight?

    I do like this method of working with gorilla glue. I will try it on the wings.

    3D Vertigo build, any interest in a build?

    I was using a scraper to put the epoxy, west system, on. I put it on very thin. I also use a scraper to put on the gorilla glue. Put it on thin and do not mist it with water. I always have the parts and the forms ready to go so I can move quickly. I have not had any problems with the glue drying...

    3D Vertigo build, any interest in a build?

    Elevator done. used gorilla glue instead of the west epoxy system. Epoxy would work much better if using the vacuum system or putting 400 pounds of weight on the parts! Elevators are done, turned out much nicer then the rudder when using epoxy. Also added a 1/64 ply strip to the back and...

    They look prefect! Should be a cool running motor now. Do you have telemetry to see how much difference they make?

    3D Vertigo build, any interest in a build?

    Not quite, but sometimes it feels that way! I flew two days ago and got very cold hands but it was worth it to get some air time! Just flew my little electric planes. Oct to March is the normal time we say the field is closed but on nice days I go to a friend and fly with floats or ski's in his...

    3D Vertigo build, any interest in a build?

    Ya, worked out well. What I did wrong was to sand a slight taper on the bottom of the rudder not thinking of when it goes into the blank/chuck or whatever you want to call it does not match, dumb. I also had to much epoxy on the one skin so I just wiped it onto to the other skin, again, dumb...
