Scale 50% Dalotel 165

[Matt]

well earle ill be glad to show you and make copies for anyone who wants them.. they are full size... and i can let the cat out of the bag now that the fuselage is nearing completion... my iMac airplane for next year is a 54% G200 designed by the same gentleman. Wayne Ulery, one heck of a great guy and a legend to many that flew in the TOC

Holy Smokes! OK...when ya starting it? And you GOTTA do a build thread here on GSN.....if ya don't ....NO MORE BEER FOR YOU!

 

[Matt]

well the fuse is on gear no vertical and no wings or horizontal yet but soon should be done by spring... i guess i can start a build thread because we are bringing back an old school build method... at 54% it should weigh less than 40lbs... the wings will be foam ribs and sheeted

anyway sorry to steal this thread ill gather pictures and start a new thread

Hey @Forgues-Research,

Keep up the great work. I cannot wait to see the maiden flight of your monster Dalotel

 

[Forgues-Research]

Nice! I'll bet Roger would be interested in seeing them. Me too!

that would be nice but the one I'm building now is from the original drawings from Michel Dalotel himself with all sketches of the full size. Which of course is scale LOL

first sheet part done, with the proper curve over the leading edge, , a slight crack in two places but nothing to worry about, also put in the strip which will attach both sheets. And playing with telemetry on the radio, , this radio is absolutely awesome, all telemetry such as temperature sensors for rear cylinders, airspeed with Pitot tube, sensor for indicating gear down and locked and all this with voice alerts, and voice comunication on all sensors.

while waiting for some glue dry out, I was working on my radio programming some telemetry with different sensors have a look

 

[Forgues-Research]

a bit more on the top sheeting

put some clear vinyl on part of the wing to mark the places where I need to make access holes
