Laser / Turbo prop build

[forgues research]

I am still waiting for the Laser plans, should be this week. In the mean time, I have made the foam cutting bow, but not satisfied with the wire I am using and ordered some nichrome wire.

Here are some of the features for this airplane.

Its a 98" wingspan 34% from Jack Strickland.

boost tabs on all control surfaces

failsafe high power electronic switches by Forgues Research
Fiber Optic servo extensions by Forgues Research

Power board by Forgues Research

Wren 44 turbo prop engine

The rest will come as the project goes forward.

Ya the HP calculator is my favorite of all time and mostly these models with the reverse notation with no equal signs.
The one in the picture was purchased in 1980, and changed the batteries only once, I have another one in my office,

Well the pony express has arrived, with the plans, so I am starting tomorow on the wings, I will take as many pictures as possible.

I placed the wren 44 on top of the plans for size and its going to be a perfect match, now I'm excited.

Stay tuned

Roger, if you get bored waiting for the plane to come together, you could always just build a turboprop lawnmower.

While waiting for my buddy to come over and help cut the wing I have been making the wing tube socket.

For those interested, I wrap wax paper around the tube, then wrap a six inch fiberglass tape heavy tupe, and make it overlap until you have reached the lenght you need , in my case 16 inches..and hold in place with making tape, I will take pictures of the next one as I am making the different steps.

Also I had to make another propeller so I can fly tomorow, here you see it with the fist coat of varnish,
