Don't wake a Tiger until you've factored the teeth

Ken Willard's Headmaster, in Corro & Foam

I made a foamie with Corro.

Now I have everyone's attention Grin

, here's the build log

Plans are on outerzone.co.uk, supplement here: http://www.outerzone.co.uk/planfile_supplement/1917/article_1917.pdf

Ken Willard was a legendary designer, and I've wanted to build one of his models since a long time.

Designed to run on anything from a 0.10 to a 0.35, for some reason this model reminds me of our very own dear Mr. Iyer Giggle

Don't wake a Tiger until you've factored the teeth

Re: Ken Willard's Headmaster, in Corro & Foam

I have built a few Depron models from FT designs, successfully but the only foamie I tried (last year) from Stationery Thermocol was a flop - The wings folded up shortly after take-off

I had bought a transformer about a year ago, and it was gathering dust, so I built a Hot Wire Cutter, then since I had it, I decided to use it and build something

Don't wake a Tiger until you've factored the teeth

Re: Ken Willard's Headmaster, in Corro & Foam

Many thanks to Saurabh Rastogi, who gave me some tips, the Nichrome wire and the all-too-valuable spring! He also gave me some HD Foam for the wing (for the fuse, my neighbour bought a new fridge, so I stole some of the packing > Cheesy

) and he generally egged me on to build something

The build is fairly straightforward, I used Fevicol's Fabric Glue, and in a few places 5 minute Epoxy.

I modified the plans to suit the material, and added bits of ply in strategic places

Re: Ken Willard's Headmaster, in Corro & Foam

The second wing half came out near perfect; I was thinking of throwing away the first, and making a new one, but the had a what-the-hell moment and decided to use it anyway

Re: Ken Willard's Headmaster, in Corro & Foam

Used a 6 mm X 12 mm balsa spar, with 18" of centre section braced by 3 mm ply at the dihedral angle

Re: Ken Willard's Headmaster, in Corro & Foam

I don't like this material for control surfaces. So, I put a TE of 10 X 6 balsa, and balsa ailerons covered with monokote

Then I decided it would be far simpler, and no weight issue if I made the tail feathers from Corro, so I did > Cheesy

Re: Ken Willard's Headmaster, in Corro & Foam

The fuselage walls are 1" thick! So there is hardly any room inside. Squeezed in a 19 gram metal servo for rudder & Nose Wheel, and a 10 gram MG Servo at the back for the elevator. Used 8.5 gram E-Max servos for ailerons

Re: Ken Willard's Headmaster, in Corro & Foam

Thanks Doc. It flew very well, with no trimming needed Grin

I first put a 9*4.5 prop, but realised it wasn't enough (The AUW is 1050 grams - I'm using a 3000 mah LiPo)

So on the second sortie I changed to a 9*6 and it was fine. With the 9*4.5 I ws flying at full throttle throughout!

Did 5 sorties, and took a small video too

Nice as usual. Materials don't matter but the skill in how to use them is what matters.
