Monoplane – Something Different"},"content":{"rendered":"

This is a little different than my usual postings.\u00a0 In early 2020, I received an email for David King in the UK.\u00a0 He had asked for information and data on my Dime Scale B.A.T. Monoplane (read about it HERE<\/a>) in order to build it over there.\u00a0 I sent him what he needed and he stated sometime later that he would build a larger version.<\/p>\n

This week, David send some photos and flight reports on a 28″ version that he built from my 16″ plans.\u00a0 He converted it to diesel and (ugh) 2-channel radio control.\u00a0 He used a Redfin 0.5cc diesel and says it is perfectly sized for the model.\u00a0 He also says he regrets installing the r\/c gear as it flies perfectly as a Free Flight model.\u00a0 But with the r\/c gear he can guide it back to him after the power runs out.<\/p>\n

Again, I’m no fan of r\/c, but I do understand why people can and do use it, especially if they use it in limited function, like retrieval.\u00a0 Here are the photos David sent and some of his words:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

David says, “The Redfin 0.5cc diesel is perfect for it needs just slightly less than full compression. I needn’t have put rudder\/elevator control. It flies in lovely left circles from launch without me touching the transmitter . The long nose did mean that even with all radio equipment behind the CG I still had to add 15 GM’s of lead under the fin. A perfect FF model whatever the size.”<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

David says, “Photo gliding in to land, not the best photo but it was a bit of a murky day. I just regret putting in the RC, with that moment arm and dihedral angle as per your plan it flies on rails.”<\/p><\/div>\n

It gives me a twinge of pride to hear that I can provide customers with happy and pleasing times in model aviation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
