Title: Astro Junior Post by: sanjayrai55 on January 30, 2020, 05:49:51 PM I have the Sig Astro Hog, fitted with a 15 cc Evolution Gas Engine. That is a big model, 72", 3 Kg
Here's it's younger brother Title: Re: Astro Junior Post by: sanjayrai55 on January 30, 2020, 05:53:28 PM This is a Dancing Wings Laser Cut kit, bought from Ali Express. It cleared Customs without being confiscated ;D but I had to pay a hefty amount of customs duty :'( :'(
54" span, approx. 1.5 Kg flying weight. Plan to put a 35 ASP on it. Will decide whether to use a 35 or 25 when the build nears completion Originally designed for Electric Power, so I'll be modifying it slightly for Glow Title: Re: Astro Junior Post by: sanjayrai55 on January 30, 2020, 05:55:19 PM Fuse build

Really envy your talent. I, however, did the fuselage cladding after all all the innards (servos, pushrods, batteries, tank, etc) have been fixed. makes my work a bit simpler.... Title: Re: Astro Junior Post by: sanjayrai55 on February 01, 2020, 07:04:29 PM The photos don't show it maybe, but all servos, pushrods, tank, and even engine fitment are done ;D

Just looks almost ready to take to the air.... :salute: Title: Re: Astro Junior Post by: sanjayrai55 on February 11, 2020, 12:20:42 PM Didn't like the balsa used for the elevator. Very heavy, possibly Paulonia wood

Title: Re: Astro Junior Post by: sanjayrai55 on February 15, 2020, 09:54:35 AM The main LG is 4 mm spring steel wire. This fits into wooden blocks which in turn are attached to the wing. The wood being not hard enough, the LG would in time have worked loose. So I drilled through a 4 mm blind nut, and used it
