    IMAC 40% laser 200

    I got my cowl from Devin, nice glass work, not sure when I will build this plane. I had a 33% designed by Wayne Urley that was very similar in construction this one is just a little bigger. The 33% plans showed a geared .60 glow motor for power. Today we use 100 cc!

    IMAC 40% laser 200

    The plans were drawn by Jack Strickland, this may help others identify the plans. My plans look the same however there is sufficient detail to build the elevator. Only the upper portion is dark.

    IMAC Double Build, Carden Pro 124" Extra 300 40%

    I agree with Dirt, looks like cf lamination. I got CF arrow shafts at the local bow hunter supply store, he had a bucket full of broken ones for free.

    I don't know, I was asking. I would follow the plans, the design works for sure.

    Are all the cross braces gusseted or only those shown toward the rear of the plane?

    IMAC Double Build, Carden Pro 124" Extra 300 40%

    Cam, Just curious why you used HYSOL for the engine box and epoxy for the carbon tubes? Is there a specific reason for each? I normally use West System with a small amount of micro fibers for my builds. The HYSOL seems rather expense?

    I made this tool for laying out cross bracing, mark with a pencil and sand to line on my disc sander. Keep the pencil sharp.

    What is the final ratio? Looks like about 8 to 1, at 6000 rpm that brushless motor going to be spinning!

    IMAC Dalton 260 Restoration

    For the remaining dents in the airframe, you might want to try popping them out before filling. Wet the balsa area where the dents are located and go over with a covering iron set to high, sometimes it takes a few applications, most times filler not needed. Maybe you already know this trick.

    Rodger, I have found that 1/4" wire must be heated to form tight bends then re-harden by reheating to cheery red and quenching. See http://www.wikihow.com/Harden-Steel.

    3D Wing tubes and why .037 is unacceptable

    I make my own tubes with epoxy and glass cloth. Smear Vasoline on the tube, light coat, one wrap of wax paper, two wraps of glass.
