Title: Magnum 40 - Dan Santich Post by: sanjayrai55 on January 29, 2018, 06:27:18 AM Dan Santich is in the RC Hall of Fame as a designer of note. Many of his designs were kitted by Midwest Models, especially the famous "HOTS" series.
This was something different from him, so decided to give it a shot Title: Re: Magnum 40 - Dan Santich Post by: sanjayrai55 on January 29, 2018, 06:33:14 AM Plans here: https://outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=6790
Brief Specs: Span: 56" Chord: 9 3/4" Length: 42" Aerofoil: Double Reflex, Symmetrical Engine used: 46 TT Pro Channels: 4 - Aileron, Elevator, Rudder, Throttle Title: Re: Magnum 40 - Dan Santich Post by: sanjayrai55 on January 29, 2018, 06:36:30 AM Not much of a build log.
To get the Double reflex aerofoil, first I planned to make foam cores with a hot wire cutter, then sheet them with balsa. Unfortunately, my skills with the hot wire are not good enough, so that was abandoned - pretty fast! I built in corro then, using an extra spar to try to get the double reflex (https://s25.postimg.cc/hgh8klscv/IMG_20171226_110426969.jpg) (https://s25.postimg.cc/xepyar9q7/IMG_20180107_123859988.jpg) Title: Re: Magnum 40 - Dan Santich Post by: sanjayrai55 on January 29, 2018, 06:39:37 AM (https://s25.postimg.cc/dwvausxcv/IMG_20180107_123848513_BURST000_COVER_TOP.jpg)

Very stable flier, very nimble and sporty. Just needed 2 clicks of downtrim, and flew true (https://s25.postimg.cc/7x7jr7hq7/IMG_20180128_103647539.jpg) Title: Re: Magnum 40 - Dan Santich Post by: sanjayrai55 on January 29, 2018, 06:47:42 AM That aircraft is looking so good!

After your exams, you too fly it :D Title: Re: Magnum 40 - Dan Santich Post by: rcrcnitesh on January 29, 2018, 07:49:43 AM Another amazing build from the perfectionist. Beautiful build sir.

Title: Re: Magnum 40 - Dan Santich Post by: miginstruments on January 30, 2018, 09:37:13 AM The King is back with a Bang. Superb Build Sirji.
Title: Re: Magnum 40 - Dan Santich Post by: sanjayrai55 on January 30, 2018, 11:08:09 AM Thanks. I never really went away ;)
Title: Re: Magnum 40 - Dan Santich Post by: miginstruments on January 30, 2018, 02:28:01 PM Ha ha Great Sir. Its really an honour to know people like you.
Title: Re: Magnum 40 - Dan Santich Post by: Aravind298 on January 30, 2018, 03:29:17 PM Hey! You should consider electrifying your plane ;D PS: Global Warming.
I guess it's much simpler to convert a gasoline plane to electric than a car or something like that. Looking forward to see that build soon!

Such a majestic collection! Title: Re: Magnum 40 - Dan Santich Post by: sanjayrai55 on January 30, 2018, 06:03:21 PM Don't be so harsh on yourself. Not dumb, just uninformed ;D
Title: Re: Magnum 40 - Dan Santich Post by: Aravind298 on January 30, 2018, 06:36:20 PM Probably. I'm not a 'plane' guy. Multirotors and Batteries are my interests. So, have to definitely get started with planes, I believe.
