So..............I've placed a BIG wood order via Ali to SLEC, as well as 1/2 a rain forests worth of Cyparis from Stuart at Solutions.Back with news of wood cutting in a few weeks......................
Wow! - Once you get stuck into that lot I expect you'll soon be feeling a little saw...PDR
So..............I've placed a BIG wood order via Ali to SLEC, as well as 1/2 a rain forests worth of Cyparis from Stuart at Solutions.Phil, can you save the wood shavings.......i need to make a 80" warbird!!!......should be plenty left over .....this one's going to be interesting to say the least......wish you all the luck mate dave
Phil,Why two canopies?.......... you gonna make two Skyraiders now, like, for backup, at the shows.....
One static fatigue test specimin, one flying prototype...
Do you charge by the hour or for the overall job. If its by the hour you'll be able to retire after this model is finished
I think the F.W will fit in the slot for the engine box.
Phil, this looks promising, back to the good old wood again :wwCan you fill us in on the spec. on this one ? Scaled up Ziroli is it ? engine , make, type aso. Johan
Batteries................don't know yet............Ali may choose to go LiPo to get a huge amount of capacity, but with weight not being an issue really, BIG Nicads or NiMh won't be a problem either.
Mmmmmm......................thats worth thinking about.Don't have the engine yet, so difficult to say. It doesn't have a 'rear' crank shaft like a Zenoah, so the only accessible 'rotating' bit is the prop driver, and you have 5 big pots, and 10 pushrods to negotiate to get to it from behind. Could prove an interesting challenge...............Any one know of such a system being used elsewhere ??
Doubt you'll be able to do the elec start as the compression will be too great (unless you use a huge elec motor!!)
Mmmm.......the bigger Sullivan items look quite good, and I agree with Steve that fitting one (or getting one made to fit as they seem to offer that service) won't be a problem......................on the other hand, I also agree it's another thing that 'could' go wrong...................6 of 1, and 1/2 dozen of the other ??.................fit one of these, pray it keep working, and go with smaller batteries, or don't bother, and load the thing to the hilt with on-board power ??.......................Food for thought.................thanks chaps.
