Scale 50% Dalotel 165

[Forgues-Research]

not much time in the shop today, made an adjustable mounting plate for the Starter/alternator, you will see in the photos, not cleaned up , wanted to see if it did the trick and it did, later will clean it up, sanding etc, to make it look a bit better

I'm never disappointed when I have a chance to get up with this build thread. The craftsmanship is OUTSTANDING. Hopefully the weather will improve around here so I will be able to fly my little Dalotel soon.

Keep up the great work.

trial mount of the tail wheel

decided the aluminum tail wheel was way too stiff, so back to the drawing board and made in fiberglass, Carbon fibre is also too stiff, so no go on this, the pictures here is not the finished unit but close, will have to paint it black to represent spring steel
