Don't tell me you are going to convert her into a pusher or a high winger? That would be sacrilege. Or do you plan to remove the nose wheel and give her a tail wheel?  

i am not that psycho to convert such a beauty into a  tail dragger, high winger, or a pusher.. a simple conversion  may be...!

change the stab anhedral

increase the control surface - make it 3D compatible??

Anyway, its a beauty.... looking for some kits locally myself.

thanks...!!

cap-strips do glue on to the sheet..!

When I was a kid (40 years ago!) we would rub a candle base on the plan, especially the areas where glue would come in contact. Don't know if that is still relevant

Remember reading about Prettner in MAN about 15-20 years ago. Legendary man!

Where is the picture of the Finished plane ??I heard you had a riot flying it at a Tech Fest!!!

Hey Ujjwaana. What happened to your Amp build?

did not do that.. but when i have a original plan i do cover it up with plastic and tape the edges.... if its a printed from PDF.. i don't care.. sometimes i even cut it to get templates....

the top sheet ends short dont kno wht but according to the plan it does......

to place capstrips - once you butt glue them they will be flush and glue
surface area will be more - well thought out design

The CURARE 40 (as it was called then, in the early 80's) was my first - and I would say - the best aerobatic plane I have flown. Powered by an OS 40 FSR with a "MAGIC MUFFLER", it would go wherever you pointed it, like a well trained dog, yet without any vices. The  The kit was by MK, who were arguably one of the finest kit makers. I also hold the dubious distinction of using ONLY cyanoacrylate glue for assembly, including the firewall/bearers. Fellow modellers thought I was nuts but the plane went through 250+ flights.

The top sheet ended short because the wing was COMPLETELY sheeted , top and bottom. With the high quality balsa from MK, it became an extremely light yet rigid structure.

One tip from experience. The fuselage sides need a doubler starting for a few cms. fore and aft of the trailing edge position.  It is a weak area otherwise.

not doublers but strip added....

pics of the tail...

forgot to take the pics of the ribbed section inside...  its is then sheeted top ...

the electronic setup landed today.....

Hey Ujjwaana. What happened to your Amp build?

I promised myself not to publish Hung/Stuck builds. interestingly, few other balsa planes got completed before my first planes - the Amp - Bonsai DLG and Horten Elli are the two already finished. Right now I am working on Calmato 46 Sports Low winger and just started covering the plane and hope to maiden it in a 2 weeks time.

Whatever happened to this?

its been painted and stuffed inside the cupboard for the past 1 1/2 year or more.

got my self into some work and finding no time to build or fly these.

anyone interested in continuing can take this as well as few other planes off my hand will be happy to give them. ( at a throwaway price of course)

Kindly see PM.
