Hey Larry, Very nice layout! Might get a bit hot in the wrong places saddling the engine, but... i suppose this one just cant be to ride on. RC planes have there purpose, although boats.... im of the oppinion that you should go for the fun with them. OK... Hull design. Yes, your engine does a lot of...

A little more done. Still havnt worked all the kinks out of the control surfaces yet, so they wont be cut till we are sure. Ideas are being tossed about for attachment to the stubs. This will be the next step once finalised, locking/attaching points fitted, then glassed/carbon fibred. These are stra...

Haaaahahaha, that Stipa Caproni is hillarious!.... no.... it will not be anything like that! ha. Very nice bipe Anders. How does the yellow go for visability? I cant decide if a bight colour like that, or a dark one to contrast with the sky is better? Depends on your flight style i suppose. I am a l...

Bit more done on the design... Slow going from here on. Just noticed something is out of line, z CG is off... bugga, next time. Id say one of the materials is out, something has taken on the wrong density. Next is getting the weight out of that tail. I suppose i cant do it ALL in SS. Now comes some ...

OK, got the photo's ready.

The wing stubs turned out quite nicely.
They are only propped up in these shots. They do need some finishing, length and position needs to be finalised and the body needs full welding before they go on. Still, starting to look more like a plane now.

Maybe you have a blockage stuck in it. Is it blowing chunks of fur? this would be a good indicator of foreign body ingestion. Seriously tho. You need to show much more detail for some help. I am no expert, by far, although i can say YES, the flame tube is very important. Put up some specs on it, and...

Does the fuselage shell give you any idea how you're coming out for airframe weight? Umm, yes, not as good as it should be! I’ve been calculating at 0.3mm, which has proven not to be accurate enough. I shall bite my tongue on mentioning a figure for now, ive some tricks to investigate first. Lets j...

OK, first run in the Fuselage... IT WORKS! The slot is cut much smaller than i thought it would need to be, and there is no flare rolled on the back edge yet to create the augmentor action. I need to do some more thinking on this before commiting to a final size. It starts straight up, i can breath ...

Yes... all engines now start with said method. Hahaaa The chinese, and now it seems the chinese intake and cc specificaly is the issue. There is a big jump from intake running, to deep running that is very hard to get through. It is possible to start and operate a chinese engine, however we have not...

Just cut and rolled the parts for the fuselage/couling.
There is a lot of work to be done in rolling over the joints for a smoothe join yet, I plan on having no sharp angle joints. Then its to be welded, intake slot cut and flared, engine mounting installed and fire up the first test run.
