Re: [Build Log] Skeeter_30

nice built....

points to remember...
1> round off the edges left sharp as of now...
2> trailing edge and hing edge of control surfaces should be totally rounded else u will get jump or flat(edge) contact.. improper movement and servo loading
3> balsa surface to surface may become weak over time.. and by the next year they will disintegrate, but will go un-noticed as they will be held together by the covering. but will eventually give away. just add small triangular gussets at every joint just to increase the gluing area and proper bonding....

keep updating...

Re: [Build Log] Skeeter_30

Re: [Build Log] Skeeter_30

A quick question at a wrong place:
I bought a hawker hurricane balsa kit from RCB and it contains balsa pieces of more or less the same shape and a picture of the assembled plane looks more or less the same as yours. Am I to cover it with cellophane paper like you did? Any tips for building it? And the manual says it requires a .20 engine. Can I make it electric? Thanks
