Are you using laminated deprton then you need to use a more powerfull setup as the thing is very heavy. Title: Re: FT Old Fogey [BUILD LOG] 5th Anniversary Sweepstakes Post by: yash10896 on April 09, 2014, 01:13:13 PM nitesh its only 300g and overall will be max 500g so no weight issue as i had with hal ht2 talking sanjay sir's advice of using less hot glue :giggle: thankyou sanjay sir :hatsoff:

Anyway here are the landing gears i have done today did experiment with alloy,plastic and normal steel wire but this looked and appealed best :) Title: Re: FT Old Fogey [BUILD LOG] 5th Anniversary Sweepstakes Post by: yash10896 on April 11, 2014, 01:08:19 AM Some closeups
Title: Re: FT Old Fogey [BUILD LOG] 5th Anniversary Sweepstakes Post by: topalle on April 18, 2014, 06:24:18 PM there are very few pics of the model with newspaper in the ending stage of build( no offence intended). if you have it please post it sir, it will get you more chance of winning
Title: Re: FT Old Fogey [BUILD LOG] 5th Anniversary Sweepstakes Post by: yash10896 on April 18, 2014, 08:52:37 PM @topalle
if i started with the tracing of plan on foam on 8th and posted final pics on 11th isn't it clear that it would have completed in that time gap only ??? |
