Overnight success after making numerous changes.

I've been continuing with this
 
I'm disappointed about the colour differences, my fault, too much experimentation
 
I'm gobsmacked by the attention to detail, for instance the control runs for 1.2mm push rods.
There are even panel lines on the outside!
 
And how to waste a 12 hour print, I didn't realise I'd already printed that part!

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

Only the tail section is really correct.
 
On the left you can see how thin some of the printing is, Do not experiment while printing a proper part!

Having the cardboard carton on the side shows the scale of this model.  Goodness that must be how much bigger than the fun cub?

The FunCub is 1.2Kgs, the WannaPlay will be almost 3Kgs
The FunCub wingspan is 1.4M, the WannaPlay is 1.1M
The FunCub length is 980mm, the WannaPlay is 1200mm
The FunCub wing loading is 40gm/dm2, wrong it's 30, the WannaPlay is 49gm/dm2
I'm looking forward to completing it but I doubt it'll be this year.

Hmm, dead stick landing very steep for that. Power on landing really needed. Wish you luck.

Have a nice Day, unless I don't like you.

I don't think the wheels are big enough for grass, especially since it's quite bumpy, I suspect she'll just become a hanger queen.

Here's the fuselage with a foot rule for comparison.
 
I'm now in 2 minds as to whether to re-print the entire fuselage, I'm not very happy with the quality. The major problem is the availability of power and planning around outages.

Looks like it will glide like a V1!

Tony - since it is 'mostly done' why not use it just for getting sorted on the COG and handling.  If it gets dinged then you have a reason to print again.  I am just imagining you going through all the hassle of re-printing and then having issues with the maiden that you could have found out about with the less perfect initial model.

In between everything I sometimes get a few minutes to mess with this
 
I never cease to be amazed at the attention to detail, this is the internal detail for the rudder hinge.
 
The fit is nothing short of perfect, it's my printing that's up the creek. Lesson print all components for each entity on the same settings.

I'm not sure how long this will last on our grass!
