Jap-A-Leno foamie - the hottest plane ever!
A wierd looking "chili fruit semi scale" indoor foamie is to be born!
I will update this thread while building the prototype so check back soon!   Download your free plans at: http://www.oestling.net/flyghorna/ja...leno_plans.zip There is both tiled A4:s and one A1 size plans, print out the one that fits your printer! I usually print on self adhesive paper and transfer it to cardboard, then a coat of thin CA-glue on the edges and the templates will last almost forever!  Then take a fresh sheet of 3mm Depron, (that should be about 1/8") a tube of your favourite foam glue, one 3x1mm carbon spar for LE, one 3x0.5 mm carbon spar for TE and of course some hot snacks to chew while cutting parts!  Now i will try to get some sleep and cut out the parts after work tomorrow! (BTW... remember that english isn´t my primary language so if something sounds strange - please read between the lines or just ask!)

Magnus.
Looks like your not very hungry this evening. I see only a small pert of the Chili has been eaten.???? You on a diet or something??? I will be watching this with anticipation. Its often funny how a crazy idea turns out to be something totally unexpected. |

Just don't grab the wrong bottle when you are going to take a drink.

Re: Jap-A-Leno foamie - the hottest plane ever!
Todays work:
Cut myself a Jap-A -Leno kit!  Cutting out the wing, note the C-C marks, handy when flipping the template over to make the second attack to the foam!  Cutting the rudder, careful with the scale items! Note the lack of chili´s! (Kiwi!- Gotcha there huh?) Complete kit, ready for painting and airbrushing prior to assembly!  And a short video with some tips & trix from the cold up north! More to come tomorrow! |

Re: Jap-A-Leno foamie - the hottest plane ever!
Not much progress today... painting is a time consuming hobby....
  Upper surface of wing got a coat of yellowish paint....  Cut out templates for the logos... this is for the red text, similar 4 green but opposite if U know what i mean!  Bottom surface of wing ready 2 race! Might not look like a chili fruit but i think it looks hot!  New coat of paint on the motor - "Jap-A-Leno Racing Green" is the exact color code! More paintjob tomorrow... I´ll try to airbrush the wing so it looks like a real fruit.... Or just burn the darn thing... depends on the final result...  Until next time - remember! Every day is unique - make the best of it! /M |
