im working now to try and get them on the inside. I think it would look nicer

Hope this helps. For the elevator, 2 .031 wires through the tubes (left side) and an .055 wire off the servo arm joined together with a linkage stopper . Right side is the rudder. I have linkage stoppers on the control horns for final adjustments.

 

[Wildthing]

.031 wires are fed through with extra length left over at the back, servos centered and wires hooked up to the servos , upper wing can go on at the very end .

that's kinda what I came up with. I have some .030 tig wire that I use for pushrods and I used a wheel collar to hold the 2 rods together. I did have to do some mods on the front. not having a 3D printer i just doubled up on the first and second supports and made a mini power pod and it worked out well.

Nice, that should do the trick. Make sure everything is tight on the top end, once the upper wing goes on no going back .

 

[Wildthing]

Any pictures what you did for the power pod?

 

[Wildthing]

By the way , the cg is basically the upper wing spar.

 

[sundown57]

here is the power pod and how I put it in. I'm starting on the wings now. do you have pictures of where the 2 spars go and how did you get all 4 ailerons linked together

ok, I found the pictures of the wing spars. I have the bottom wing done but the top is going to be a bit more of a challenge. it is larger than a sheet of foam board so I'm making it in 3 pieces

 

[sundown57]

bottom wing and landing gear are done. hope to finish it up tomorrow and maiden it tomorrow night.

 

[Wildthing]

Cruising right along, looking great.

 

[sundown57]

ok, finished the build. Looks Great. Have it all dialed in so time to go see if I can fly it.

That looks great. Good luck on the maiden.

thank you much. I pushed all day to get it done but when I went to go out it was crazy windy. Have to try again tomorrow.

@sundown57 - looking great - you guys are doing wonders with the biplanes - wheels could be a tad close together?

yeah, I noticed that too, but only after I had it all soldered together, Besides I only wheels for the first 2 seconds right?

 

[bracesport]

angle it slightly and land on one wheel!

In the spirit of the thread, I'm posting a link for my Mini Scout Biplane plans. (The best flying plane on the FT forums, in my totally unbiased opinion. )

And a video of it in flight, that I don't think I've posted elsewhere. I've got lots of vids of the MSBP in flight posted, just not this one:

you will realize your mistake once you've flown mine.
