Chalster's New Toy

This weekend was time to join together 'The Chalster's' new model, the pictures below are some before during and after the joining.

Again on this the servos are moulded in the wings.

Once out of the mould and cleaned up, there was only 1g difference between the left and right hand wings at 722g and 723g each. The tailplane was a little heavier than last time at 92g but this could be down to the disser cloth and thicker paint, next time will will aim for 80g!

Both Mike's new model and my model are at the same stage after this weekend and just need horns and fus prep.

Looking forward to flying it now!





















Getting Jiggy

A little time effort and thought and what a great result!

The jig was created to allow easy and accurate cutting of slot on top surface and scoring for the hinge line on the bottom side.
