Hi,
my second post on the forum (I'll stop mentioning that, now...), hope I choose the right subforum.
Here's a little project I'm working on, please feel free to comment. A little history: someone mid-aired his EMHW Funtana, dumped the fuse but kept the wings. Then built a new fuse, but never finished it. The someone bought the fuse and wings, to use the wings on his own crashed EMHW Funtana. Sold the fuse to someone else. Then I bought it from that last person, taking on the project. And yes, it is a project!
I bought this:
Badly finished:
So let's uncover:
6mm (concrete-weight) ply! From the DIY store!
And some more:
Solid foam, nothing lightened:
So let's lighten the rear and strip the weight:
Stripped!
I bought a wing-set and some servo mounting sets from Flugwerf:
And then, finally, the rebuild can start:
I did make a start on the wings on a spare afternoon:
But the fuse has the priority:
On the Dutch forum there is some discussion about the fact that I moved the wing 21mm forward, and fit this non-original wing set which means the CG moves about 11mm forward, too. I'm not too worried about that, if the tail would be too heavy, I would like that; I prefer to fit all 3 rudder and elevator servos pull-pull under the cockpit anyway, while the design calls for them to be under the tail.
Well, let me know what you think. I'll post more often to avoid such long posts!
