    3D Edge 540 Profile Build (Glitter JR)

    Now that all the sheer webs are done we need to start the sheeting on the wing. Mind you this is where i realizes I screwed up. No biggie it will be fine and I will do the other side the proper way. On this side of the wing it needs to be sheeted our enough to cover the servo mounts. This ties...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    That is unless someone wants to fund this. It’s one four stroke that would fit other than having to probably relocate the firewall further back. https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=SAIG1014&P=FR&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4fCD-ZLB4AIVReDICh0VUg-_EAQYASABEgIgVfD_BwE

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Appreciate the offer. One question. How long is the engine from the firewall the where the back of the prop would be? And how much?

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    So anybody got a Zenoah G23 or G26 laying around their shop they want to part with? Thinking that will be my best option on the Nieuport kit I picked up.

    3D Edge 540 Profile Build (Glitter JR)

    Well back in the flow of things and got a little work done this morning. First up was doing the LE sheeting. I just grabbed a sheet of 1/16”x3”x36” balsa and ripped it into four even 3/4” wide pieces. Mark the center line of the front subspar at each end and glue to this. I’m using softer balsa...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    So looking around I think I’m gonna stick to a two stroke. The four strokes are a little bit taller which will require cutting more of the cowl than I want. The Zenoah G23 fits perfect according to the manual using scale cowl cutouts for the exhaust and the spark plug boot.

    Gotcha. Yeah there are lots of choices in the two stroke department just slime pickings in four stroke. Funny as the plans say a 1.20 four stroke nitro will fly it.

    Oh yeah the little profile is getting finished. Should be working on it again this weekend. What size plane is that Gaui on? The nieuport I got is 1/4 scale so most are powered with zenoha g23’s. A 50 might be a bit much.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Ok I can’t help myself. Rolled the plans out to have a look (also rolled back up, gotta finish other stuff first) looked through the wood and all looks good and figure I will go ahead a read the manual to get a idea of things. Two things. On I feel a good four stroke gas engine would be cool on...

    Also running the X9D+. For sure run OpenTX as it’s great being able to share plane files with others or having someone look something over you can’t quite figure out. If you would like I can send over some of my files for you to look at and get the idea of how things work. Since your getting...

    Very nice. Do a build thread as I would love to learn more about stits and painting since I just picked up a Balsa USA 1/4 scale Nieuport 17 kit to build at some point.
