this is a slow flyer.....magnum 24 wing span slow flyer for rci 6th 2015 sweepstakes .this plane was built with my own sweet time hahah from i think 12aug to 20aug . my airplane fuse is different and not as per the plan, mine is a box fuse/full fuse ,for plans please do some reading here http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1595008 , i have scaled the plan i down to around 24inch around 80% you can do it to at a shop , below picture of the mag with the paper plans ready and cutting the parts in progress . details on electronics ,auw ,mentioned later with the pictures
rudder,vertical stab fuse side and landing gear cut
other side of fuse ,all the parts in the plan cut.......i made my on cut out for the center parts in the fuse( in picture below) then glued it to the fuse
other side of the fuse was glued and the center of the wing from underneath was completed,wing tips were glued to make a wing tip dihedral,carbon rod was added for support ,and the wing was ready
landing gear was completed using carbon rods,phone card plastic,wheels,lolypop straw :rofl:, then the stab with lower part of the fuse was completed,rudder and horns were glued in and tail was ready,servos were then fitted in,i used tthe same phone card plastic squares and skewers for the wing supports with rubber bands to hold the wing.
motor was mounted to the nose,all electronics were put inside the fuse and the under foam parts of the fuse was glued,electronics used were
2204 motor,10Aesc,450mah, orange rx ,8x 3.8 prop, 4.7 and 3.7gram servo,
used a black permanent marker some red and blue wraping tape some black fabric paint and did some simple colouring ...to keep it simple
some more pics of the completed full fuse/box fuse 24 wing span mag, auw came in at 150 - 155grams -
was having problems with dutch rolls :banghead: so changes were made to the rudder and vertical stab to avoid dutch rolls,canopy above the servo was removed
