Scratch building a new fuse R-44

[MARS]

Hi Guy's

Here a is a video of my E-benzine that was modified for my next Scratch bulid fuse. It was important for me to test fly it because I wanted to see if the FBL unit would be ok with that type of shaft.

It is going to be at a scale of 1:5

I will give a bit more detail of the fuse in the next couple of post

Hi Guy's,

Here a picture of the project. The basic shape of the plug is done, stil a lot of work to be done.

Hi Guy,s

I add a bit of time on my hands this week so I glass the boom, two layer of eglass and two layers of resin to fill the weave.

Looks like a great project!! Two thumbs up!!

So far, that looks like a great project. If you can give a thought to calculating the overall finished weight from previous experience, this would be the perfect time to add some weight to the chassis and see what the characteristics will be with that weight. You may need to add some stabilizers as far up the mast as the final body will allow or add a frame stiffener to spread the fore-aft load of the mast over a larger portion of the frame. It certainly will be a very unique model once done. Take care.

You know, there are going to be a lot of guys that want that fuselage beating a path to your door. Be prepared, lol. Take care.

Hi Guy's, I work on the tail boom this week I decided to cover it with aluminium and do the rivets.

Mighty fine job you have done there! I am always in awe of the work the scale forums provide.
I just have to ramp up my skills to this level.
Keep up the posting, I really enjoy these type of threads.

Hi Guy's

Well I did not post mutch in the last couple of months but the project is not dead it is still alive, here is a picture of were it is a this time

[Heliwhisperer]

I am glad to see it is still being worked on.
Other things of more importance must be taken care of first.
My modeling has taken a back seat to major home issues, will be getting back to the helis soon though.
Good luck with your project.
