110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

Neat adaptation of the Timber 110.

If you haven’t seen the full scale version, check out one of Trent Palmer’s videos on YouTube.

Ali just recovered the Timber, not to be confused with a new model/version FYI.

I reached out via e-mail to PMT about there 262mm tires. I think they are trying to tell me it’s too much work to removed the 19% tax and will be invoiced with it. Which is a big difference in the end cost. The 19% VAR tax is exempt for export outside the UK.
Ummmm huh.
And shipping to AK is €30.
We’ll see, I’ve inquired again for clarity.

PMT replied to my question. Their reasoning is they cannot provide proof of delivery which is a pre-requisite for selling their item tax free. They did say that within a few months they are going to sell them on Amazon. Which is very intriguing...
8" AirTops are $90/set
8.75" PRs were $125/set
11.6" Pr's were $220/set
10.3" PMT's are 198 EU/set ($220 USD) with the tax. +$33 USD Shipped. Not that far off from PR's and combined are 0.45lbs lighter than the 8.75" PR's

Here is a custom wing bag (can also get the fuse/tail bags) $135 for the wings. Just placed and order, It's been bugging me a lot!

Got three more flights logged on the Timber. Tried a new location with some wind. 10-20mph. I had fun doing some high alpha landings, and ended up dumping the left wing in the sand. Easy repair for later. It’s on video too, so I’ll get working on it.

My latest version of the tailwheel bracket is 3.25” dubro tire. Sure looks good with the big PR’s
It turns decent. But still lags a bit. My version with the 2” wheel turned the best, but it sank in the sand. So it’s a trade off.

Took 5.2 hours to print, fine, 85% speed, 60% infill, 4 walls, supports.
