LSP_Ray Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Absolutely outstanding! I am curious about the wing issues...are you talking about the built in dihedral that is supposed to offset some sag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 GREAT build indeed Sean! Love it. I would be curious about the "wing issues" myself, as that was all I heard was it took some extra time and dihedral for the wings to "settle". Did you end up with flat/no dihederal or anhedral?

Wolf Buddee Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Boy, that truly is magnificent Sean! I only wish you could post more pics as I doubt the magazine is available to us here in the northern hemisphere. One pic and it's clear you've done a masterful job!

Mike Robinson Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Great work Sean. Between yours and Guys the model has been well represented for publication. My wings suffer the same affliction. I don't blame the kit so much as I do my choice to EZ Line as it imparts zero structural strength. I was originally going to use mono but believed the structure was strong enough to support the weight. I was wrong. There's a lot of leverage on the center section from those wings and it needs all the help it can get. It's not so much the wing sagging is the issue, but the bowing of the underwing struts and Engine Pylon side braces that makes it evident. Mine will be sitting on the kit supplied trestles just to keep everything where it should be. My next one will be rigged with mono, or fine wire if I can find something that works.

Cheers Mike Out of curiosity, and I am throwing darts here to see if they stick, but what if someone like G-Factor made a set of brass struts for this beastie? You two, keeping in mind your experiences from having built this; would this improve the issues? - Dennis S. Westminster, CO USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
