Adventuring into my first MS design. BF-109 G2.

[Shurik-1960]

Yesterday I received servomechanisms from China: we drove for a long time on a turtle. Pasted from the foam houses and then pasted into each half-wing. The photo should be clear. After gluing the wing, cut through the ailerons.







The weight of the wing assembly is 151 grams.Another 8 grams will be added: metal rods + plastic rods. Fitting with colored adhesive tape with an iron. I glued the lantern on cardboard and filled it with plaster. Tomorrow I will bring the blank of the lantern to working condition and try to make a lantern from a light bottle.Then I use a dark bottle, I want to find a blue one.The daughter is very happy- she drinks the contents: lemonade.

The first sample and it seemed to work out well, but the bottle was a little thick in the throat.Tomorrow I will try on a thin bottle or I need to blow thick bottles and it will turn out very well.

To glue the wing into the fuselage, it was necessary to make a rough and then precise wing profile pattern. The angle of attack of the wing relative to the plane of the stabilizer turned out to be 2 degrees. Let's look at the planning for the first flight. If the model climbs up, we will make the engine down.


Books for our generation - that was everything!! My library consists of more than 500 books by various authors. The daughter of 11 years has not read a single one to date.Another generation is growing up with other interests.But she managed the trainer plane easily at the age of 6, now she is not interested in it.

I tried on the flashlight on the model. The lantern will be cut off along the perimeter by 5 mm.

I spent the weekend with my mother-in-law, 144 km from Moscow. It was not possible to fly : it was raining , Tomorrow I will continue : I will glue the motor + voltage regulator and the elevator servo mechanism. I'll make a box for the battery. The final touch will be the installation of the battery box in the fuselage at CG 25%. Then wrapping with colored tape with an iron and installing decorative overlays.

Your work is looking great! I really love the canopy from the plastic bottle - it turned out most excellent! I am looking forward to hearing how the first flight goes.

Today I distributed bottles of different thicknesses: I pumped 1.6 atmospheres and heated them with a hairdryer. Then I glued the wingtips a little.

While my lanterns are far from my desire to get a good lantern. I continue experimenting until victory.

Y'know, the BF-109 Canopy has a good number of straight edges. Might you be able to cut and fold one out of acetate sheet and hide the joins in the frame?

Mastermalpass. The lantern can be cut and glued, but the lantern can be made from a bottle- experience and skill are needed + to fix the bottle with brackets on a wooden bar. We are not looking for easy ways!!

Ah, taking the level-up approach. I like it!

 

[Shurik-1960]

I think so- it turned out what I wanted for a long time. I used a 2 liter bottle . I will also have to buy kvass, which I will write myself (my daughter and wife do not like kvass). The next lamp will be a tinted type .For a better tension of the bottle on the block , I shot the excess bottle to a piece of wood .

 

[mastermalpass]

Ooh, that one's looking really good!

I found a cheerful German pilot for this model. I will make a lantern from a dark bottle and see which of the lanterns I will put on the model.

 

[Shurik-1960]

Работа над моделью ведется к первому полету. Через 14 дней у дочки отпуск и модель должна быть готова. Есть проблемы: закончилась сварочная проволока для тяг. Друг обещал через неделю привезти с дачи и тогда можно будет подключать все сервомеханизмы.



На мотораме я сделал угол 3 градуса - для компенсации работы пропеллера:




Какую лампу приклеить на модель? Мне нравятся оба. Могу посадить пилота в прозрачный фонарь... Жду вашего мнения.

 

[mastermalpass]

Clear lantern, defitenitely clear!

 

[Shurik-1960]

This is the first pilot to sit in the cockpit or..
I will have a second version of the pilot tomorrow .

I'll entertain you a little : this is my model room of 18 square meters in a house in the village, alas, it's all packed with models. The models are even in the foyer of the first floor. I'm thinking of picking up a sub-model room on the third floor.
