The RC Custom Jets F-18

[Berto]

Thanks, try to do my best. Time is somewhat limited due to the 40hrs job and the webshop besides it.

But we still go forward.

Little bit of playing with the gears.

Nose is somewhat short, but I thinks the mains are a little to long so they will be shortened:

1 wing ready for filling and glassing:

Fiddling how I can install the elevators when the fuselages are glued together, this can work:

 

[Berto]

Think this will work:

Just some top and bottom sheeting left:

But after that still enough to do :-)

Hallo erstmal Gratulation zu der schönen Bauausführung. Ich baue ja auch den gleichen Flieger.

leider habe ich Probleme mit dem Hersteller. Hab ihn um die Einstelldaten gebeten wie z.B den Schwerpunkt. Habe leider trotz mehrfacher Nachfrage keine Antwort erhalten. Hast du diese Daten bekommen.
beste Grüße Achim

Hello first comment on the beautiful construction. I'm also building the same plane. https://www.rc-network.de/threads/f-18-hornet-120-edf-von-customwings.11822987/ unfortunately I have problems with the manufacturer. I asked him for the setting data such as the focus. Unfortunately I did not receive an answer despite repeated replenishment. Did you get this data.
best regards Achim

Hye Achim,

I also have no CG location or throws at the moment for the F-18.
Will also ask.

Your build is looking good, you also have the nice in- and outlets.

According the designer the CG should be on the front wing tube.

Have made a lower and upper bridge to add some extra strength. Don`t think it is needed but it feels better this way.

Fuselage top is almost closed now.

 

[Berto]

Fuselage nu really closed, soon start with glassing:

Started with the cockpit:

Echt toll was du da machst. Und ich weiß wovon ich rede. Ich versuche mich gerade am beplanken und ist echt schwierig bei den vielen Biegungen. Willst du gar keine Pilotenpuppe einbauen. Ich habe eine schönen gedruckten Pilotensitz mit geliefert bekommen.
Gruß Achim

Hye Achim,

Danke, ich werde vielleicht einen Dummy-Piloten installieren, aber ich weiß, dass ich versuche, das Modell so leicht wie möglich zu halten, denn wenn das Modell leicht genug ist, werde ich meinen K70G für die Testflüge installieren.


Translated from English ;-)

Thanks, I maybe will install a dummy pilot but for know I try to hold the model as light is possible because if the model is light enough I will install my K70G for the test flights.
