Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build
I was unsuccessful at building a timer circuit using a LM555 timer. Not sure why it did not work but I made 3 different ones with the same result. Not to worry as a timer is very easy in OpenTX and all it takes is one logical switch, the timer is adjustable to 0.1 sec so it's all good. I...- TonyHallo

Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build
Working on the tail lighting, the mount for the beacon is made from a 5/8" dowel, the lens is from a 1/2" panel light and the bezel was turned on the lathe out of 5/8" aluminum stock. The tail position light mount is a 1/2" dowel with a 10 mm 1/2 watt LED. The mounting flange is removed from...- TonyHallo

Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build
@AKNick, can you send me the schematic? Isn't there a web site that will make a board from the schematic? Or at least I thought so? @WMcNabb, my build is rather simple, only blinking light will be the vertical fin beacon. For more complex options the Eflight controller looks to be the ticket.- TonyHallo

Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build
Been searching the web for a few days looking for a LM555 circuit that has adjustable on-off times for the the red blinking beacon on the vertical fin, finally found one here. For $8 got enough components to build 4 timers. Flew home from Texas last week and studied the blinking beacon on the...- TonyHallo

Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build
Worked on the flap hinges and aileron linkage today. The hinges were cut on the mill, oversized blanks were cut and drilled in a stack, a 1/8" rod held them in place while the machining operations were carried out. These will get glued in after the wings are treated with Monkote. The aileron...- TonyHallo

Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build
Was out of town since last week so not much to report, finishing the right wing flap leading edge and started hinging. The red and green lenses arrived and started making a plug for the wing tip lights. Nothing fancy, copying a Whelen light. Will make a mold and lay up two tear drop shaped...- TonyHallo

Pre-bent 1/8" balsa around an 1 1/2" pipe for the flap trailing edge. The stub ribs and sheeting were sanded to fit the pre-bent sheet. The flap leading edge will be 1/4" balsa sheet then sanded to close to an airfoil shape. Will make the wing side flap hinges (shown below) out of 1/8" g10...- TonyHallo

Agreed, the wires will be added and I found a couple possible globes today, they are 12 mm in diameter and appear to be about the right size. I ordered them so we shall see. Should have ordered two red ones but wasn't thinking, will use a 10mm white LED for the tail marker light...- TonyHallo

Steve had ask a while back if lights were in the plans, at the time I said no but started to rethink, might be nice, looking for red and green panel mount globes, I found the ones below at Radio Shack years ago, they were perfect size for 1/3 scale Super Cub.

Made the mount for the aileron servo, there will be no hatches, if a servo goes bad cut the Monokote out from the bay and patch it. Bought 6 Hitec D945TW servos from Servocity during the Black Friday sale. 20% off if I remember correctly, just open the box today, was like Christmas all over...- TonyHallo
