Retained the other dimensions, and wing/stabilizer shapes

Still a long way to go........ :D Title: Re: '2016 Sweepstakes' Funster 40 Post by: sanjayrai55 on November 30, 2016, 07:46:54 AM Pretty involved tail build, the horizontal stab has a (functional) aerofoil. This is as a little extra lift on the tail is integral to the design. The stab span is also 25 1/4", so rigidity is important. The same holds true for the vertical stab, which is also massive
Decided to go for a built-up horizontal stab, and to use 4 + 2.5 mm corro at 90 degrees for the vertical (https://s25.postimg.org/drecniqyn/IMG_20161128_063830_HDR.jpg) (https://s25.postimg.org/727t7i5mn/IMG_20161128_063840_HDR.jpg) Title: Re: '2016 Sweepstakes' Funster 40 Post by: sanjayrai55 on November 30, 2016, 07:48:07 AM (https://s25.postimg.org/d4k1bqjgf/IMG_20161128_095451_HDR.jpg)

I made my first RC plane with landing gear and it got broken after few flights. Due to landing gear damage my whole fuselage is getting damaged. Then after I made RCs without landing gears. All were belly landing models. After seeing your models, I am planning to use landing gears. I like your fabricating techniques.

Can you help us on which glue to use while sticking coro to coro and coro to wood ?. You use epoxy or cyno to glue coro, having hard time gluing coro :'( with cyno. And i have noticed you use lots of balsa while construction can you elaborate on this ?. Do you follow the SPAD site instructions? clean-blow torch-water spray one side and then cyno glue ? may be some sample picture or a video would really help :). Started flying from today, found nice field and group but sadly my flylite crashed (mid-air wing snap while doing fast loop). I want to build a glow trainer 4ch with coro hence................... Thanks Sahil Title: Re: '2016 Sweepstakes' Funster 40 Post by: sanjayrai55 on December 25, 2016, 05:40:36 PM See my earlier builds; fully detailed there

Any very specific problem, I would be glad to help out Title: Re: '2016 Sweepstakes' Funster 40 Post by: sahilkit on December 25, 2016, 06:11:23 PM Thanks will check them out. Gluing method is same for all your builds?. Did you ever experience glue failure and how did you correct?.
Sahil Title: Re: '2016 Sweepstakes' Funster 40 Post by: sanjayrai55 on December 25, 2016, 07:05:38 PM Never experienced a gluing failure
In fact, my first build, the SPAD Debonair, was only recently retired after many many years I had given it to a friend who has a passion for trees ( :rofl: ) and he took it full speed into the trees many times. Finally, it died of old age ;) Title: Re: '2016 Sweepstakes' Funster 40 Post by: sahilkit on December 25, 2016, 07:23:39 PM Thanks again SR998-NC thinner-sanding, you still have avispad trainer.

Regards Sahil Title: Re: '2016 Sweepstakes' Funster 40 Post by: sanjayrai55 on December 25, 2016, 08:16:54 PM Oh sure it will ;D
I gave away the Avispad some years ago. In fact, in the last coupleof years I have given away more models than I remember :D :D On butt joints eg Vertical stab to horizontal stab, or wherever you have a 90 degree joint, do either a) Use hot glue b) Stick a piece of balsa (square or preferably triangular) and with cyano glue the corro onto the balsa. Same surface preparation, any thin cyano works fine, although the ones meant for corro (Flex Kwik any Flex ***) give a stronger bond Title: Re: '2016 Sweepstakes' Funster 40 Post by: K K Iyer on December 25, 2016, 08:35:49 PM In fact, in the last coupleof years I have given away more models than I remember :D :D And a few more to be gifted next week to some lucky Sweepstakes participant!
