The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

[Snoopy1]

@Snoopy1 i forgot to get you the rest of the info you wanted the other day so here it is.
Rudder hinge line to back of prop is 60”
Back of prop to approx CG location is 19-1/2”
Cg to rudder hinge line is 40-1/2”
Wing panel with ailerons root is 21-1/4”.

I don’t remember my exact CG on it and don’t have time to assemble it to check right now but I can in a few days if you need exact cg location. Numbers I provided are pretty DAG on close though. Anything else just ask.

Thanks for that you are sitting at 31% which very close to ratio that I believe works. Thanks again. That all I need for now.

Sounds good. Also forgot to include that the rudder adds another 12” to the overall length of the plane.

It has just been one of those really "lazy" Saturdays and the motivation factor is all but dead. I forgot about the hole in the side of the fuse and what I was going to do about it .

Tool / First Aid box? or just block it back in and patch work?

What ye say? Dilly! Dilly!

Put a machine gun through the hole.

LOL. But it's a J-3 not a L-4. That would "clip" some wings though!

Well boys I am mentally exhausted and eyes are going square. I have spent the last 2 weeks about 9 hours a day behind a computer doing a drawing so that I can build 50cc plane for 3D.
The biggest problem I had was setting up AutoCAD so that I can send the drawings to the print shop so that he can read it and print it to scale. Well when I did the preview did not look good so after another long period I believe it is ok. Going to send one print to him and see if works. Which me luck.
