My new 50cc Bird. - Page 2

Jared working on it now. Glueing in the mounts for the servos in the wing. Also getting some measurments for electrical stuff. Need to order titanium links and batteries. If should be ready to maiden as soon as parts come in and i have chance to run a couple of tanks of gas in it.

The one thing I see that I will need to address, is the rudder control rod, it flexes. I read on Troy Built Models about using a carbonfiber rod as a sleve. The weight is nothing and should remove the flex.

What did you pay ???????????????????

codydmorgan · 09-30-2007, 10:18 PM

sweet bird, does this thing have foam core horiz. stabs? It looks alot like the 27% carden cap. the carden cap was put out about 8 years ago and I still have one built by Brian Hueffmier, the master builder.

So you decided to go for it eh? I dont think you did bad. Plane looks awesome. I imagine it should be a great flyer.

66stang · 09-30-2007, 10:38 PM

Yeah rudder, wings, and elevator are foam core.. What was the wingspan on the carden. Lanier's plane is suppose to be 81", but this measures 83".. But It sure looks like a lanier kit.

66stang · 09-30-2007, 10:43 PM

Hey Codymorgan.. Saw you guy's fly a few weeks ago at the open house in Eureka..Man that club's site awesome. Hey you ever heard of a builder that called himself JC RC Planes. From what I heard this guy is an awesome builder but his eyesite is getting bad and sold off this before he finished it.

codydmorgan · 09-30-2007, 11:49 PM

The name is very familiar but i cant put a face with it. The carden is 83" but the structure of this fuselage looks a little different, no big deal though it could have been altered for weight. either way this cap will fly alot smoother than anyone will lead you to believe.

Hey guy's got a question. I just bought 2 Fromeco 2600Mah Lithium Ion batteries.. I have an astro flight 109 charger, will this charge the Fromeco batteries?

mrbigg · 10-10-2007, 03:20 PM

I would check Fromeco's site. I know they had a list of what chargers would work.
