    30cc profile from the ashes of a 70" RIP AJ Slick - Build Log

    With the motor box figured out and the cowl starting to take shape, it was time to turn my attention to constructing the foam core fuse. We have some plans to do some cool work to the foam before I sheet it with the balsa to make it a little... less profile-ish. So today I wanted to just get a...

    30cc profile from the ashes of a 70" RIP AJ Slick - Build Log

    Ok people... as promised... here are pics of the motor box and cowl plug (not glued or sanded obviously). I'll show more pics of the cowl plug making process as we progress on that. For now, I am just really happy to have those motorbox pieces fitting together. I don't have very good tools...

    motor box Tonight we designed the motor box for the profile. Then we used the laser to mark out the peices on 1/4 and 1/8th beech ply. I will use a sanding disc and band saw to cut these pieces. The CAD design ensures a nice fit between the pieces. I helped with the conceptual components...

    Last night we started cutting out sheeting to wrap the foam core... on a LASER :D I had a short video of the cutter operating but the site didn't like it... it's really short so I didn't want to bother with youtube. Maybe another time... We are deviating a little from the other build...

    Does it fly as fast as you want it to on the 6 pitch prop? I really liked the 19x8. I wanted to run a 20x8 but decided the motor didn't like it as I couldn't quite get into the max power band with it. I never tried it after the motor was really broken in though. Now I am waiting for another...

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    Fellas I am in need of a wing tube from a wrecked 7x slick, extra, or anything that diameter for a project I'm working on. If anyone has a left over one from an RIP plane they can part with please let me know. Thanks in advance. -Nate

    abaser I spent some time tweaking your Raven upload for better physics. The color scheme is awesome but the plane was not really 3d ready. Here is my variant... could still use some tweaking, but it flies pretty good now.
