Title: Cessna 177 Cardinal - based on Pilot QB Cessna 177 20 in Corro Post by: sanjayrai55 on April 04, 2018, 06:56:50 AM Decided to build this one. I've always admired the 177 more than it's more famous cousin, the Skylane
This is from my favourite designer, Matsumoto. 53"span, 1.5~1.7 Kg, will be using an ASP 25 on it Plans on Outerzone & Aerofred (https://s25.postimg.org/qizu30cy7/IMG_20180403_184323759.jpg) (https://s25.postimg.org/98rstmeq7/IMG_20180403_184318141.jpg) Title: Re: Cessna 177 Cardinal - based on Pilot QB Cessna 177 20 in Corro Post by: sanjayrai55 on April 04, 2018, 09:09:04 AM (https://s25.postimg.org/axwanps4f/IMG_20180314_184354038.jpg)

Superficially complete, but... the CG was off. Very nose heavy! Rather than add a lot of weight on the tail, first I'm going to move the servos (currently below the wing, near the CG) near the tail Title: Re: Cessna 177 Cardinal - based on Pilot QB Cessna 177 20 in Corro Post by: sanjayrai55 on April 05, 2018, 07:48:00 PM Done!

Title: Re: Cessna 177 Cardinal - based on Pilot QB Cessna 177 20 in Corro Post by: K K Iyer on April 08, 2018, 08:39:44 PM @sanjayrai55,
What I admire is that if one looks closely at your pics, one can find at least one great idea. Your field bench itself is wonderful, but the thing to be admired is the peg into the ground at the rear, to prevent the table from toppling at full throttle! Learnt from experience, I’m sure... :hatsoff: Title: Re: Cessna 177 Cardinal - based on Pilot QB Cessna 177 20 in Corro Post by: sanjayrai55 on April 08, 2018, 08:43:49 PM Hats off to you Iyer sir! Your eye for detail continues to impress
I made that peg only yesterday! Earlier just hefted a big stone there Salutations Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk Title: Re: Cessna 177 Cardinal - based on Pilot QB Cessna 177 20 in Corro Post by: sanjayrai55 on April 08, 2018, 08:45:10 PM Surprised you didn't comment on the wind sock ;)
