I may have to heat soak the wings in war water to fix some warping in the top wing.
Views: 34

mmmmhmmmmm. Looking sweet!
Views: 36

She is looking good. removed the canopy plastic so I can paint the plane Cherry red. After all the mock up is completed, I strip the plane, paint and add graphics.
Views: 34

Tail assembly mocked up, top wing mocked up, this will ensure proper alignment/ fitment. I can work out the bugs of that if any.

120mm X 70mm/ 5 inch by 2.75 similar size to the original prop of the UMX beast. projected to be smoother flying.

Silver sharpie'd around the flames. Came out really good
Views: 163

Carbon fiber tray is in. 250mm X 200mm 3K twill carbon sheet can be found on eBay for about 10-14 dollars. You can use scissors on it to cut to shape as well. You can see the original tray by the prop.

Repainted the propeller as Skip Stewarts P2!
Views: 150

Looks a lot better with the painted prop!
Views: 139

The day I bought the P3.
Views: 148

Love how new it was!!
Views: 155

Another Angle of the P3 after I bought it, pretty easy to set up .
Views: 150

You can see the detail of the Carbon here, along with the carbon spar from the foam strut makes this really strong. when the foam wing flexes in flight, this will be structurally better to handle hard maneuvers.
Views: 146

I took off the decals from the foam struts, cleaned up their shape, since they no longer would adhere on their own i used gloss scotch tape a little larger than the decal, x-acto cut it and taped it to the carbon strut.
Views: 149

the original broke in the move: update the shape of the horn, cut in Carbon, epoxy the horn, pin vise the holes for the control rod and done..
Views: 155

Carbon wheel struts: I basically measured, cut a rectangle and then cut a diagonal. I then glued with gel CA and used accelerator to quick cure it. Completely solid.
Views: 153

Up close with the prop: I used Tamiya 2mm vinyl masking tape to mask off the markings after I painted the prop white first.
Views: 154

Carbon struts are completed. I took off the Carbon rod from the foam ones. I used the foam strut shape to cut out the carbon strut. I then glued the carbon rod to the back of it and sealed it with clear gloss scotch tape.

Callie Graphics provided the MT prop logo. She did a great job!!

Views: 118

The day I got the Beast!! I loved it!!
Views: 112

The Beast up on the old workbench.
Views: 75

Shortly after I painted the prop in matched colors. it looks so much better than the black and silver. There were 3 painted styles by the same manufacturer at the time.
Views: 79

Just another angle to see the Twinstar at.
Views: 79

The P 51D before modification and the Twinstar getting ready for maintenance.
Views: 134

Inspiration: I actually like this plane with a 3 blade prop. Not sure how well that works with a 60cc twin though.
Views: 144

The plane with its previous owner, Chris Nickman (Chrisknickman). He is a really good dude!! Highly recommend him if he has something up for sale. Thanks again Chris for being honorable and upfront!!
Views: 142

A look at the inside of this Yak. not much yet, however its pretty clean inside.
Views: 143

Rudder servo and SWB arm attached 8)
Views: 147

This is the engine that is in the plane. 7hp sounds good to me. DLE 60cc Twin.
Views: 140

Possibly this graphics package i would be interested in from BandE. still, too early to tell how I want this Yak to look.
Views: 142

Inspiration picture: Going to go with this Spinner prop combination on my plane!
Views: 145

removed the plane from transporting it in the bed of my truck. this plane is pretty substantial. generally in good shape, it will need some love from what I see. nothing I cannot handle though.
Views: 141

The day I brought her home from Rosedale MD. The plane traveled well, though it extended beyond the Bed of the truck so the gate had to be left down.
Views: 66

Engine work to ensure updates work! Ran like a brand new engine!

How to properly transport your planes lol. Painters tape wrapped 3 times in the range of the support bar. Bubble wrap. run a bungee over the front portion of the rudder with bubble wrap. Tape the rudder and you're done.
Views: 138

The instrument panel will look something like this, will be a printout that is laminated to scale most likely. Weight purposes.
Views: 163

Not mine: Inspiration from rcgroups.com. Nice 3 blade prop.
Views: 163

My friends plane. I am feeling the need to build a UMX version with the spare parts I have.
Views: 167

Not mine: but great inspiration from rcgroups.com. This uses Depron layers, sandwiched together to form the pants. Pretty cool if you ask me.
Views: 161

The paint match for the BEAST colors found on rcgroups.com. You can find both on Amazon and Ebay, though Ebay I found was cheaper at $5.00 instead of $10 something on Amazon.
Views: 184

Carbon battery tray to accommodate larger batteries. Also is much more sturdy than the Depron foam originally in there. Plus it looks much better as well.
Views: 179

Added REAL Carbon pants and landing gear struts. The Beast looks and flies a bit better since the pants and struts act as winglets to a small degree. you can find the carbon sheet on Ebay for $10.99 or so (200mm X 250mm X 0.3mm). Cutting is pretty easy.

My Twinstar and I...in case you all wondered what i looked like haha. I can get about 13 or more minutes of flight time on this Twinstar with fuel left over.
Views: 202

Closer view of the low speed flight, it even looks cooler with the 3 blade combination.
Views: 208

This has become by far one of my favorite planes, due to its docile nature now.
Views: 210

Picture of the Twinstar in low speed low level flight.
Views: 210

It was a beautiful day to fly!! Flys on rails with the prop/motor combination along with the no.7 glow plugs.
Views: 213

I found that the OS .25 leaked plenty after running, so I plugged both with shop cloths. eventually I went with vinyl caps over the carb inlets. these engines will need service here soon just to make sure the props aren't causing any wear and tear.

I painted the props in the MT propeller livery, it was easier for me to see the prop speed to gauge landings along with the AoA (Angle of Attitude)
Views: 234

Close up of the prop and spinner combo. This was much more stable in flight with this set up than any other set up I went with.
Views: 174

Fresh covering using Solartex, first time using it too. I highly recommend it, its durable, forgiving and tough, you definitely get a great product for what you pay for!! I added a center wing decal to identify settings for the OS 61.
Views: 175

Closer look at the gear assembly cover. The original had alot of gaps and was a cheap plastic.
Views: 178

After finishing the gear assembly covers. much cleaner appearance and quality.
Views: 173

You can see the wheel well was a bit of a mess, I did fix that to have ABS custom insert to clean up the look and add stability.
Views: 175

re-did the gear assembly covers to fit better. It truly did need it.
Views: 181

After tearing the silver skin off and gently sanding the wings. I pulled everything out of the airframe that I could, cleaned it it, sealed it. Then replaced fuel lines, screws, rods, servos.
Views: 170

Look at all those ribs..still in good shape.
Views: 173

Re skinned for the most part....Solartex is a great product, cant speak highly enough about it.
Views: 174

A photo shot from the tail.
Views: 176

re shaped the wing edge to a NACA 11 airfoil style for a greater ability for rolls..
Views: 172

getting mostly red...
Views: 180

pulled the motor, refurbed it and cleaned the motor bay.
Views: 175

glow plug was slow close to the prop when I bought it, had a friend cut himself trying to start it. So I added a glow plug relocation ignition unit. now no more prop strikes to fingers. :)
Views: 177

On the gear and red, she was starting to look good.
Views: 197

Here is the Ultrasport with the old wing covering believed to be very old solartex, not a tear in it, solid, but the color choice I didn't like. Working the new prop in: balanced and the edges of the new prop. The gear set up from 2-56 to 4-40 set up
Views: 169

Spreading the Ultracote white to the tail here. it looks even better in the air.
Views: 171

I cant get enough of this plane. The Rudder and Elevator was covered here. Lined the white with Silver pinstriping.
Views: 179

It looked much more sleek after the recover. Re-polished the canopy and waxed it.
Views: 183

90% of the with Ultracote was applied here. Awaited more supply in order to cover the elevator and rudder. Engine was re-installed and plumbed, ran and removed and recleaned exterior wise. Reinstalled and mineral oil added into the carb and covered.
Views: 173

Top view after the white Ultracote was applied.
Views: 181

Inspired by real flight ultrasport scheme.
Views: 184

its just so pretty.
Views: 189

Another prop shot.
Views: 183

prop was painted white to ensure it would be seen better both in flight and run ups on the ground.

After the Christmas party for the club. I opened the box and built her! lol
Views: 214

This is what the fuselage looked like the day I got the Ultrasport. Notice the dullness of the motor, acetone, scuff pad and a final 0000 steel wool does the trick exterior wise to brighten the motor up.
Views: 216

The day I brought the Ultrasport back from Lebanon PA swap meet. got 5 new servos for 50.00 as well, see piled on the ground!!!
Views: 215

When I finally finished the refurb. Motor, skin, prop, wheels all re done. I added a sliver pinstripe to the edge of the white on the wings, elevator, fuselage to give the Ultrasport even more character.

Modeled the prop after this Sbach!
Views: 104

ordered and on its way!! I am super excited.

New Paint scheme courtesy of Callie graphics. I needed something different from the stock tail.
Views: 154

Well built avionics compartment. Don Palmer 83 inch plans certainly had the right idea. Its fit is reallly tight!
Views: 98

Sitting on the Robart/ CJ landing gear once again.
Views: 93

Back on the gear again!! That makes it easier to work on in my opinion. You can see where I started sanding the paint imperfections. time for some spot putty and a re-primer soon I hope.

removed damaged area in order to begin repairs there.. While in transit from Ohio to Maryland, a little bump in the road caused this break. finally cut out all the damage. Time for sanding the edges smooth and re-building the section.
Views: 99

pneumatic access points checked and tested. Gear came down without a hitch.
Views: 96

opening of the wheel well to begin to make gear doors... This part will take me the longest I think. I will be asking for help and suggestions along the way :)

Jan 1, 2019... let the work begin. orbital sanding with 120 grit..
