Last post by davidk - April 14, 2024, 06:15:02 PMI did... and I needed it. I wish I'd worn my shorts. Kenny and I were in T-Shirts.
Winds never got above 5kph... and every 10 minutes it would change direction... we got all 4 today... too funny.
Got busy around 4pm.
I got 10 flights in today... stunning day.

Last post by Frank v B - April 13, 2024, 09:29:06 PMNo Go! Sorry. The POP is listed at 90%. I live at Yonge and St. Clair so it is a bit of a hike to get rained out.
Sorry from the guy who does not look at weather forecasts..starting Wednesday May 8 when training starts.

Building / Construction / Re: L-39 Albatross by Planepri...
Last post by davidk - April 13, 2024, 01:05:43 AMI'm using the EDF from a Viper 70. 6S 3300mAh. A thrust tube is securely taped to the EDF and the EDF is solidly mounted.
So many nice features from Planeprint. The landing gear wheel wells also double as Air Intakes for a bit more takeoff power.
The Air Intakes are incorporated into a piece that also houses the wheels and is the EDF Cover.
This EDF Cover is secured in place with the rear 10mm Carbon Fiber tube.
I don't know how Rene thinks all this stuff up... it's very cool.

Last post by msatin - April 13, 2024, 12:14:59 AMPerhaps some fibreglass might stiffen it up a bit?

Last post by sihinch - April 12, 2024, 10:30:37 PMUnlike David's fabulously designed L-39, this GWS kit relies on old fashioned tech!
The elevators are joined by a wire. And having learned from making this mistake before, you have to feed the elevator joining wire through the gap in the fuselage for the horizontal stab, BEFORE you glue in the stab! Luckily, I did remember that today!
Now, this is a later EPO foam kit, not the EPS version, so it's a bit heavier. So I tried to beef up the way the elevator wire mounts to the elevators. I added a thin wooden plate on top of the wire joiner hoping it would stop any twist. Unfortunately, despite being better, it's not eliminated elevator deflection difference side-to-side and I fear the heavier EPO foam model will exhibit this in flight.
I might see if I can get some wax paper down in the hinge line and add some extra epoxy.
