    Sport Bud Nosen (!!!) 1/4 Scale Citabria Build! Woo hoo!

    Yeah I'm seeing now on the box that is says around 10 pounds flying weight which pretty good for a plane that size. I'm thinking take some weight out and a nice 20cc would pull it around really well.

    I guess Bart how wide is the fuse at F1? Will give us an idea of wether or not the 40 twin would even fit.

    Yeah if I build one it will either get a dle35 or VVRC 40 twin. My twin I currently have just runs so freaking smooth.

    Last few orders I have placed have come from SIG and it’s where I will continue to order from. I’m actually able to get my local hobby shop to order it for me and it’s still cheaper in the end than ordering from National or balsa usa. I have never ordered from BUSA before but have ordered from...

    I’m sure you can. For these I just downloaded and printed templates and then hooked everything up the way YouTube told me.

    Sounds good bud. Yeah I like building light. It’s a challenge for me seeing how light her strong I can keep something. Learning CAD has giving me a new way of looking at things as well to cut weight and add strength at the same time.

    Thanks bud. How much you looking to get for the other kit?? I was thinking I could scratch one out and put my own twist on it with the things I have learned and make it lighter and slap a 40cc twin on it.

    Then I reckon I’m telling you to as we all want to see it. Even built stock and just clipping the wings it’s fun watching someone else’s project come to life.

    What 49dimes said. I have a 17oz tank in both of my dle55 powered planes. The sukhoi I fly for 8 minutes and when I land I have roughly 1/4 tank left. It sees a lot of wide open throttle though. My edge profile on the other hand weighing right at 14lbs once fuel is on board I fly hard for 10...

    The dlg shouldn’t be to hard to repair without adding much wieght. Not real worried right now though since I will need new servos yet again before taking it back to the sky’s.

    Out flying my 1M dlg in the yard. Had an aileron servo lock up at full deflection and it death spiraled to the gravel driveway. Think I will be able to repair it so stay tuned.
