BB, you seem to be designing that model with a deep but narrow fuselage. Would it not be better for you with a shallower but wider one - easier to get your hands into?

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

Hi Eric the fuselage is 240mm deep and a 180mm wide and 1087 long a n d after the turbine it is 1110mm deed down to 70mm deep and obviously tapers to 30mm wide at the rear end :)
Been doing more fuselage profiles tonight, I going to do it in fibre glass, I think :unsure:

A Jet Cat 100RX Owen 10 kg thrust or for Garry 22lbs so I hope to get it built for twenty lbs or less

My gremlins strike again :( just went to the hanger to do a bit as its chucking it down, and it has sprung a leak :ohmy: never had water leaking in the hanger before even in the very heavy thunder storms
The thing is it is straight on top of my drawing :S and has destroyed it :sick:

Think I must have been a very bad boy in a previous life to deserve all this shit :angry:
My block chopper


Onwards and upwards,

still no crying smiley Mike

I've never known a corrugated flat roof that didn't leak BB! I'm sure you'll be able to salvage your plans once they've dried out a bit, the important thing is not to pull them about too much until they're completely dry!

Do it now, you may never get another chance
