Imaculate!

WOW... very cool!

Thinking out side the circle a bit!

I LIKE IT!!! I LIKE IT A LOT!!

LJJ · 12-19-2006, 01:59 PM

I like it alot too.... Its WAY cool looking. Unfortunatly it's not going to save any weight... I was hoping to shave a few oz. off, but not quite.

This one was a test layup by hand, so I was way heavy on the epoxy. It weights 5.1 oz and the foam/balsa weighs 7 oz. But I still have to cut a 1/2" foam "internal" to get the stiffness up on the carbon version. That foam weighs 2 oz.... But it sure looks sweet!

The whole idea was to open up the turtle deck for some airbrush action.... I'll be mixing a scale scheme up with some fantasy rips and such.

The final one will get V. Bagged, and I might save an oz of epoxy over the hand layup... Well see.

So now back to the fuse structure. I'm adding my gussets to all the joints... EAch is cut with a pair of lexan scissors, sanded, and clamped in place with white glue for the sticky.

I should have matchhole drilled the gear to the motor box on the drill press, but I forgot before I glued up the formers....

So I marked the holes on the plate and used a drill jig to get them vertical.

LJJ · 12-19-2006, 06:04 PM

This is what I did to brace F-3 in place of 3/8" sq side runners.... 3/16" balsa with carbon bagged to both sides.

LJJ · 12-19-2006, 06:05 PM

And then a shot of the gussets from carbon Fiber plate. This baby is not coming apart in the air!

TheRooster · 12-19-2006, 06:23 PM

dude, for your first 40% build, YOU DUH MAN! Looks like your building it "John Proof" if there is such a thing?

LJJ · 12-19-2006, 06:52 PM

John... Your check bounced for my building fee's... So I'm just keeping your engine and kit now.

LOL

K, I have to derail this thread for a sec....just gotta say your avitar looks a little homo there bro....the smile on your face is reminissant of Ken Pinnion.

xtreem3d · 12-20-2006, 06:11 AM

ljj,
your carbon gussets are cool but do you have any concerns that white glue will (not) bond the already cured epoxy/carbon parts to wood ?
keep up the good work !

Good Job Levi! What is the thickness for the gussets? Where did you get the maretial? Keep up the good work!
