Tonar Posted April 10, 2008 Author Posted April 10, 2008 OK I am comming to the end of the shaping process for the fuselage. Give me comments on shape please. Quote
Enforcer57 Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Other than the nose being a little long for the reasons mentioned, it looks like an F6F. Just make sure you don't fly in front of a 110 you don't see. Heh heh. (Runs from room laughing maniacally) Quote
Knight Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 id say thats a good finish on the body, got all the lines of the F6F, i mean there isnt many lines on a F6F, you could of had a brick there and i would say "yup its a F6F" But you have it spot on in my eyes. Quote
Tonar Posted April 11, 2008 Author Posted April 11, 2008 OK Enough of the pretty work for now, time to get to the guts Added the Servo and control rods to wing Split the fuselage to put the guts in Use a dremmel routing attachment to rout out the area for the Servo, Receiver, Switch and Battery Add guts Just started the radio install, but I have to stop short for now.

Tonar Posted April 12, 2008 Author Posted April 12, 2008 Thanks guys, I enjoy building them almost as much as flying them. Quote
JensenPark Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Very cool Tonar! Make sure to get some shots of it in the air... Quote
Tonar Posted April 18, 2008 Author Posted April 18, 2008 OK, back to work. I have 16 days to finish Got all the gear installed, routed, and glueing Made sure the other half was routed out so there would be a clean mate Finished up the horizontal stab and elevator Assembly Then I decided I would do a little bench flying Quote
Psycho Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 WOW!!!!!! Sweeeeeeeeet rig man!!!!!! You have some SERIOUS patience..... Quote
Highlander Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Great work Tonar what made you deside to build a Hellcat? Quote
JensenPark Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 am I seeing right? Styrofoam body and wood wings? Quote
GreyKnight Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 I've no clue when it comes to making these Tonar, but how do you deal with centre of gravity issues? Did this model come with instructions that has dealt with the CoG or are you just 'wiinging' it by ear yourself? Quote
Tonar Posted April 18, 2008 Author Posted April 18, 2008 homotard! LOL!!!! My new word of the day Most likely the same as the shirt logo, A freind just got a Vinal cutting CNC machine for decals Quote
