CRRC PRO 26CC PESO FULL SIZE

The instructions provide description for a simple hole with a base about 1' lower down onto which you sit a pilot bust - similar I guess to how most people do magnatillas and hannibals. I'm not going mega scale on this one - I just want to get it flying, however I think some bits are absolutely vital to keep it looking too cartoony - One of these bits is a cockpit. The tailplane is similar - you have a choice as the builder to have a single piece elevator or split to give more scale like appearance.

The wood choice so far has been spot-on - These bits are really hard! The rest is made up from 3/8th x 1/4 strip wood. The tail end is again really conventional - a simple built up affair utilising pre-cut trailing edges that are a set of 3 laminated balsa pieces. The undercarriage is a made from a pre bent set of wires that are silver soldered together with an additional metal protrusion that supports the lower sub wing - This itself is again a simple affair - a constant chord mini wing with front and rear spars and strengthened with spar webs - The little end caps outside of the the u/c legs are removable to allow fitting and removal. In a couple of nights the fus was born - Its the usual pair of side frames built directly over the plans that are then stuck together with formers in the middle and a few strips of balsa to provide strength.Ī simple ply decking covers the forward area of the fus and a balsa sheets forms the rear decking

The kit comes with the usual roll of full size plans and a decent - no make that very comprehensive build manual that explains everything you need and gives tips on laminating parts, cutting scarf joints and other bits that people might struggle with. I started about 2 1/2 weeks ago - I love building and I can nearly always get between 1 and 2 hours a night in the man cave. Its a down and dirty, cut to the bone build log. So here it is - I'm not going in to masses of info on this cos most of the build is the same as just about any other WW1 build on here. When I saw a very cheap BUSA 1/4 scale Dviii (from now on to appear as D8 cos its too much effort to keep typing it out) I thought 'Ah go on - go on go on - go on' in true Father Ted style. I have got an Arizona Models 1/3rd scale Fokker Dv111 that has caused me more headaches than I care to put into words - The short description would be 'Its utter rubbish' its just a scaled up 6th scale kit that included ply ribs 1/3rd of an inch thick.I would have used them as templates for balsa ones but half of them were the wrong size - That build is therefore shelved long term which is a shame as its a lot of money. My club strip sadly doesn't really lend itself to big warbirds with retracts etc so I needed to stick with something useable. In reflection I have only ever built biplanes or artfs so I thought it was time for a change. Times between choke/ no choke, etc.Again, it runs great after starting.Ĭareful using a starter when its new as without good lubrication it can hurt the ring.did you by chance turn the carb over on the motor to make it easier to align the linkage? also use the factory needle settings until its fully broken in as it starts better when the low end is slightly rich.Well after 11 months building a 1/3rd scale Pup that is now residing in the rafters of a WW1 exhibition I now want to do something a bit quicker to build and something that at the end of it I will be able to drag to a field and fly! No clue there.Also interesting, it seemed to lose compresion at I have no intention of using an electric charger so don't know what to do.Īny thoughts would be appreciated.Btw during the 20 min w/o success the plug was removed several times to check for 'wet' etc. So after 20 min with no luck, a guy comes up with an electric starter and it fires within 2 revolutions.Īfter the flight, it started by hand without problem. Using 32:1 break-in mix, SY 16x8 and plug that came with engine. We are experienced with hand starting DA and DL motors and follow the classic proceedures.Ĭhoke on until pop/s. Over 20 min of flipping today with 3 of us taking turns. However, starting this puppy has been very difficult.

Recently installed GF26i in Funtana X100.Engine runs great and good match for plane.
