Roger just thought i would advise you of a problem my friend ran into with the Wren turbine on his 35% QQ Yak and the angle of the exhaust . My friends Yak ran into a big problem on the exhaust angle of the Wren and the wings got very hot from the exhaust and caught on fire , luckily it was on the ground when this happened. He sent the Wren back to England and the company turned the exhaust at a upward angle to prevent the hot exhaust from getting the wings to hot again. I believe the exhaust now are a 45 degree angle upward. The Wren co. also did some updates to the motor as they have some issues on throttle response and ect. Just thought i would let you know.

There are not many posts from others on this build, I do realise it may be boring for some people who have built a lot before, but my intentions is to get as much detail for those who haven't built much before. Am I introducing too many details???? Roger

I like the pictures, they're so awesome...I'm speechless.  I really like to see a pile of pieces transform into an airframe...especially a turboprop. Keep it going.

| Re: Laser / Turbo prop build
Thanks guys, so I will continue with detailed pictures when I can... Here are a few pictures that some old time builders will remember for sure. After using the wing plans for one side, I simply turn the sheet over and rub the whole thing with cooking oil and wipe clean.. the lines comes out very clear so now I won't make the mistake of making two same side wings For the other wing, I am using a bit of a different technique although the results will be the same. I create a box shape with the foam rib blanks at there proper locations. The top part is glued to the foam .. once the top part is cut, then I remove the top part as a whole and it becomes a good solid cradle when I reverse the wing. I hope I am explaining this OK... Roger
