Re: Fonz Red Bull Pitts 12 build
mine is the new wing style so i went ahead and made it a one piece wing...found it easier for me to transport
assembled the plane outside and had to work there... no more space in my room with 3 other giants....lol mounted the engine as well.... and glassed the firewall

Re: Fonz Red Bull Pitts 12 build
installed tail wires with carbon rods... and also started with the electronics inside...built trays for the batts and rx to mount and also the gas tank...
rx batts are mounted just behind the canopy.... ign batt behind the fuel tank....

Re: Fonz Red Bull Pitts 12 build
cut the cowl to accomodate the huge ass mufflers from the engine... and also did the baffling.....i used 3/4" spacers to get the spacing for the spinner... gonna use a 5" spinner..

Re: Fonz Red Bull Pitts 12 build
started with the flyin wires.. i used carbon rods threaded with 6-32 rods and ball links... im thinking of just using 1 per wing.... it seems pretty strong already... wat ya think???
also used carbon rods for the tail wires... with 4-40 ball links... i really hate flying wires.... so i wanna just use one per wing... i tried to shake the plane and the whole plane moved together... not just the wings... so i think they are pretty safe.... any input would be appreciated....
