v2 of the scaled down version is now ready to maiden.
Main things I have done differently compared to blueprint and my v1
Despite the color and the glass tissue I have saved 320g of weight (1020g) compared to my v1 (1340g) which is due to the use of depron over (EU) kraftpaper foam board.
Now as she is ready and look soo pretty I am kind of hesitating to maiden her
Main things I have done differently compared to blueprint and my v1
- no Main plate. Instead the wing bottom was extended with necessary parts according to main plate blueprint
- transparent canopy with some cockpit appliances
- placed 2x2 cheat-inlets on the sides of each nacelle so the fan catches more air and less grass/dust
- tried some digital camo by using acrylic color spray cans
- Materials:
- 3mm Depron for major parts, i.e. skin and parts not exposed to forces
- 6mm Depron for wing bottom = mainplate and spars
- wood glue instead of hot glue, which gave me much more time to fix/adjust but took tape and a few hours to dry. Its also lighter and less messy
- 25g/m2 glass tissue with water based PU finish for the nacelles, the mid section and nose
- Plastic bottle for canopy
- Lightweight Easy Foam Filler for some curves
Despite the color and the glass tissue I have saved 320g of weight (1020g) compared to my v1 (1340g) which is due to the use of depron over (EU) kraftpaper foam board.
