General Discussion / April 25th flying

Had a chance to see a few awesome planes in the air. Stopped by to try out the bixler I got from Simon a while ago. It was nice to get out to the field a bit.  ::)

The rear 2 sections of the main fuselage are made up of 4 printed parts... tops and bottoms.
The gold piece is a crossbar brace.  The carbon fibre tubes run through the fuselage and through this crossbar.
There are a lot of alignment tabs between these 2 sections.

Wingspan 1400mm / 55.1 inches.  Printable in 2 versions, A or D, and with or without the sponsons on the sides of the fuselage.  I've printed the short nose A version with the sponsons.

General Discussion / Rolling the Runway Tomorrow Ap...
Last post by davidk - April 24, 2024, 02:01:53 PM
To All Flyers,

Since the runway is still pliable and the forecast is dry today and tomorrow, I've arranged for a roller to be delivered to the field tomorrow morning with an ETA of 9am.

There will be no flying during most of the day tomorrow while we roll the runway.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

David
