    Terry..have you thought about G10 or Type 2 PVC or even Delrin for these parts to eliminated the side thrust vibration wear. I know this is your proto. Just asken.

    3D 75cc 106" HyperLITE Slick 540 by Fibertech N More

    The new DA70 came in Friday so I am going to get it mounted and take the time to extend the inlets to make a baffle plug. Once I have the plugs done I can cut the inlets to length for the cowl plug. I would like to make the cowl and baffles all in one but looks like it would be a “B” to make the...

    3D 75cc 106" HyperLITE Slick 540 by Fibertech N More

    My first step was to get some kind of shape for the inlets. I used masking tape and did a couple layers all around the inside. Later I’ll smear some glazing putty at the inside of intake to make the shape. The tape will come off easy when done. I wanted to stiffen up the tape so I just used some...

    Ok it’s time to start on inlet mods. I took a piece of paper to lie over the cowl inlet and rubbed a pencil over it to shadow the shape. Then I marked another line on the inside for the cut line. I used this as a pattern to cut the ply. Ply is just a firmer pattern to use. Used the ply pattern...

    I wanted to make the intake a little bigger and the other night when I was mixing glue in a paper cup I started thinking it was about correct size and shape for what I wanted for the intake. I trimmed of the bottom ring and then cut some strips all around the cup. This allowed it to slide over...

    The cowl on Slick will be the one that gets all the mods done and will be used as the plug to make the new mold. The one on the left in primer is cowl for the bigger Slick.

    Long story short I did the cowl plug and mold for this plane several years ago. I wasn’t real happy with the inlets or intake. I also didn’t have the fuse at the time to fit the cowl plug to so the shape didn’t match 100% to hatch and belly profile. Once I started on this build I decided that I...

    I have been off the grid for bit but back at it again. I wanted to get the hatch built to allow me to work on fit up of cowl. The hatch ply mounting plate was put in place and then I built the hatch frame over the fuse. Once the frame work was done the foam former and foam were glued in place...

    With the fin in place it was time to fit the Turtle deck. For fin cut out on the deck I used the scrap part of the V-Stab. I turned this upside down on the deck and traced around it. When I did the first cut I did so just inside the line and then did a little sanding and fitting. Forgot to...

    3D Fibertech Hyperlite Slick 540 Build Thread

    I went back and looked at my build thread and for the belly it was 1.7oz For the 42% Slicks I don't think I would the cut it's on V/H stabs. I'm going to on the 35% because I think it be tad tail heavy with the DA70

    I would do the cut outs for sure on belly. Can't remember the savings but its fair amount.

    3D The Viper- ST is now AVAILABLE!

    Thanks for the great feedback guys. Terry has put a lot of effort in the Viper-St. I got a little stick time last year at the Des Moines Huck fest. It was a lot of fun to fly. If you want to put the hammer down on some 3D or do some IMAC flying it all available with the Viper-ST
