| jim.f.hertel@gmail.com | A pair of fan jet 120s can deliver at least 180N of thrust which should be good. http://www.turbines-rc.com/en/110mm-...mm-carbon.html | |

| jim.f.hertel@gmail.com | I am going with monokote covering. Rudders are already covered. The all up weight on this 98" wing span bird is supposed to be about 30 lbs. | |

Regardless of the power used , EDF or turbine I am going to have to say that the all up weight of a fully sheeted aircraft of this size is going to be up around 18-20 lbs with all the electronics, batteries and retracts. Going glass/paint finish or iron on covering ? Keep up the build, great job. |

Re: My A10 Scratch Build 1/7 EDF If you are still looking at carbon fibre wing tubes , try EBay as there is some nice stuff out of china but only in metric sizes. Bought some a year ago and pretty impressed. Be interesting what you have for weight so far. The only issue that you may have is the distance of the EDF , ESC and Batteries from each other as this stuff doesn't like long leads. |

Re: My A10 Scratch Build 1/7 EDF FYI, I have plenty of misaligned cuts and slots. This version of the plans also has many mistakes and inaccuracies. I do a lot of test fitting and making adjustments to get things working right before I glue a part together. Fans you see on the wall eject air outside similar to a typical washroom fan. For heavy duty sanding I hook up a shop vac to pull most of the dust away. The swept part of the A10 wings were more challenging dealing with misaligned cuts. I am sure most of the misaligned cuts would not happen if the plans were from a PDF file(vector graphics with precision) instead of just paper plans that had been blown up from 1/9 scale to 1/7 scale. The blow up in scale will also magnify errors in the plans. Its been a challenge to check/cross check parts to make sure everything is right. |
