    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    I just checked that...with the canopy line level the wing has a -1 degree of incidence...and I can't see that being what Delro intended...but this is assuming the canopy line represents the zero incidence line, and I don't think there is any reason it has to. Since you set the incidence of...

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    A quick question for all you aerodynamic experts out there...the Raven comes with no directions... the wing main wing tube (spar) and rear anti-rotation pins are molded into the fuse (also the wing fairings are molded in so there is no adjustment on wing position) so placement is easy. The...

    Scale The Naked Truth of Covering a Plane

    What material did you use to cover it...is the base orange monocots/ultracote? And the graphics are complex so I assume they are printed...what material is that?

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    Also got,the wing tube roughed into the fuse as well today, need a bit of work to insure the rear of the fuse is supported and rigid so I can align the vertical stab and and the wing tube precisely!

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    The landing gear mount in the recessed slot in the bottom of the aircraft...these photos show both the inside of the fuse as it comes as well as the landing gear doubler that gives you something to bolt to. This doubler has been epoxied in, and there is a really neat structure to go with that...

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    Worked on the wheel pants today...I've found working with a composite fuse is a bit like working with a greased pig...nothing to grab onto without worrying about breaking something...so I figure if I can get it up on it's gear that will help. Epoxied the inner and outer axle supports into the...

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    MattyMatt, what is the flying weight of your Raven? Delro flew their prototype of the 2.5m Raven on an 80 cc engine. DA says you should use a 100-120cc which seems ridiculous for this plane ( not flying 3D, I fly IMAC style). The target weight according to Delro is 22 pounds. My 26% Pitts M12...

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    So can someone explain to me why this design concept is used/works on full scale but not on our models? I'm quite curious to hear everyone's opinions.

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    MattyMatt, just to make sure I understand what your saying... I think you are saying I should leave the hinges V- shaped and use something like Robart hinge points, then seal the gap the traditional way. You would do this as opposed to mimicking the type of hinging used in full scale aerobatic...

    Field equipment: Refueling bottle setup

    I've started one on my Delro 2.5m Raven here....but it has been slow to get it moving due to seriously ill father, crazy work travel schedule, etc... I hope to be able to get a big start on it over the holidays but we'll see.
