Nose_Art Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Essentially, I'm just swapping the fuselage fuel tank with a merlin. It would be like flying constantly with a full fuel tank.(you just limit the violent maneuvering) The center of gravity would be slightly aft. Also, the prop blades would have to be reversed, and I would'nt need a spinner on the aft one. This is just to show you the engineering so far. We will do lots more wind tunnel testing. For instance, should both propellers turn in the same direction? This is going to be fun. Cake and ice cream for every one!!

Jack Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I think you just hit the MUSTANG-JACKPOT, this should be very interesting, looking forward to more "refreshing" ideas... :hmmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nose_Art Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Thanks Jack Thanks ScanmanDan, It will be a Pusher/ Puller, with a tail wheel, and Zoukei-Mura wings . Also a malcom hood canopy. That's the dream. Art In war it does not matter who is right, but who is left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardcore Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I assume Usaaf markings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nose_Art Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Hi y'all. Hardcore, Prancin' Nance II would be too much of an airplane for the USAAF, probably racer livery. Starting with the Trumpy fuselage, my cut line is between 1/32 and 1/16 of an inch away from the edge line and then I can 'sneak up' on the actual edge.

Nose_Art Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Prancin' Nance II will need a 'floating tail', that is, a stabilon, an all moving horizontal control surface. With hydraulic boost. Indulge me please, after all, this is supposed to be fun isn't it? I glued the horizontal stab to the elevator and sanded the trailing edge to something acceptable,(the left one is sanded) I used a rivet line on the horizontal tail to make a line 90 degrees to the inboard end, then used that line to stick them to double sided tape making sure there at 90 degrees, then started a 'pilot' hole with a pin vise, and then drilled the hole with the drill press. The dremel will melt some plastic, even on as slow as it will go so I drill very fast. BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nose_Art Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Oh, I forgot to mention, I cut off the tabs on the end of the stabs and glued them into the slots on the fuselage, after drilling the holes. Thank you! See ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
