I've been building a 20cc profile over on GSN and thought I'd share it over here as well.

Elevator and Stab sheet ready.

You do good work. If i may make a small suggestion without offending. On flat control surfaces I like to make a tiny holy in the hinge line to let the gasses out when you cover. That can be done later with a T pin, but putting a pin hole through your cross braces now will allow the gas to escape when shrinking the covering with only one exit hole in the hinge line.

Excellent suggestion, thanks!! I'll do the t-pin holes in them now. Covering is not my strong suit.

Here's a couple of the fuse about complete. I went ahead and added a tank mount, instead of installing






the tank inside the fuse. I also put the throttle servo in the wrong spot and had to move it down some.

wing panels next

Steve

My Feedback: (54)

Had to kind of figure out how I wanted to assemble the wing panels and what holes were going to be needed Also made some tube supports out of 1/8" ply.

Once I got both wing panels done, I glued in the tubes using the fuselage to make sure I had proper alignment.

If you have not sheeted the other part of the wing. I would box in the servo opening and not just have the rails running parallel to the spars. This will make it stronger and make it easier to cover. I might even suggest moving the servo closer to one of the ribs for strength. Larger models were lost to flutter from not doing it that way.

Thanks for the heads up David, but I've already got it covered. It's the same as my AeroWorks Por X 260 that I've flown for years now.

I am anxious to hear your flight report on it. My current profile is a 72" OMP Fusion. It's under powered with the DLE 20cc. The previous one I had was the 67" OMP Fusion. The 72" is a sturdier airframe but it's a lot heavier. It's going to need a 26cc from Valley view RC and then I'll "need" a airframe for the 20cc.
Keep up the good work, David

I hear ya! I'm currently flying an Aero-Works Pro X 260 with a DLE 20. It's a bit on the heavy side, but I can climb out of hovers ok. This plane should come in around the 7 lb mark, and no problem for a DLE 20. I'm also flying a U-Can-Do 60 with a DLE 20, at 9 lbs. It struggles to pull out of hovers. I think a VV 26 would be a good engine for that one. And thanks for the positive support!! Always appreciated.
