Got some progress on the master mini p38. I built the tail booms and vertical stabilizer, I wasnt happy with how fat the vertical stab turned out following the plans so I redid it.
peeled back the paper, rounded the leading edge and hotglue/laminated the paper back down. It's still pretty chunky at this scale but at least its leading edge isnt a flat brick anymore.
Booms rolled nicely. The exit hole is a bit small for the boom spars to slide through, I'll have to open it up and shape the spar to fit better.
90% of it is cut and prepped, also got all the servos mounted.
It's only going to be 4 channel so I had to decide between flaperons or differential thrust. I flip flopped for a bit and ended up deciding on differential.
It will be running the same 1207 5000kv motors as the 48cm glider its pictured with. Likely double the weight though, haha.
Does anyone know if there were any 3d print files available somewhere for the accessories on this plane like the super charger and the cowling, and cooler vents? I seem to remember some of it being 3d printed on one version. I'm tired of cutting out stuff and want to put the new printer to work.
Edit: found it
