35% Hurley Finally Done
Well here it is! After 3 years of on and off work "It is Finished!" This is one of those Mike Hurley Model Aviation Extra 330L. I am pleased with the way it turned out. I got the foam, glass and plans from someone of another website long ago for like $200.00 bucks. All of the wood was scratched built, the gear and tube are from a carden 35%er....
I am not creative enough to think of a new scheme so I am re doing the scheme of my 40% carden that had structural failure 1.5 years ago. All I need are the graphics from Aerographics. I am maybe going to maiden it tomorrow morrning. I will get some better pic in the daylight instead of in my basement.... The yellow plane was my old Carden, The Oarnge is the new one... Ric |

Re: 35% Hurley Finally Done
Very interested in this. I have one that has been put on hold for the moment, but would like to hear more about it. Weight etc.

Re: 35% Hurley Finally Done
I have to get an accurate weight, my bathroom scale is saying 27lbs. I put a 3W 106 in it for power I got from a friend for $600.00. I put 1 5955 on the surfaces, 2 5955 on a pull-pull for the rudder. I also went with those abc678 packs from Fromeco for the reciever. I am running Spektrum with a single AR7000 on my DX7.
I am very pleased with the build. I built it like a Carden/Godfrey/Dalton... The Incedence are all right on and so is the Trammle. I did put the tabs on the Stabs with anti-rotation pins. Hopefully the failure I had before won't happen again.  Ric |

Re: 35% Hurley Finally Done
When you take it out for the maiden, I'd be interested in some more pics
 I'm planning on one rudder servo in the tail. This will be mounted on the bottom of the fuse 'ala Walt's method. J. |

Re: 35% Hurley Finally Done
I was going to run 1 servo for the tail but I decided to run 2 for holding power. I was under the impression that once a servo has been "on" for some time 3-7 seconds it reduces its power output severly. Therefore I placed two servos for the tail.
I will get some better pics tomorrow. I ll get some of the inside too. I am happy with it I hope it flies well...... Ric |

Re: 35% Hurley Finally Done
I got them from a guy on RCU 3+ years ago.... I have several copies (3). I used to work for a construction company and I copied some on the plan copier.... I may even have them digitised as well....

Re: 35% Hurley Finally Done
Well it flew today! and it all went well. no missing pieces. It flew a little tail heavy so I need to move the batteries around. Motor was a little rich so I will fix that too. It is a 3w so at least is stayed running.......
 Here are few better pics: Now I just need to Practice my sequence, look out young punks in Sportsman this year..... Ric |
