DYNAMO aerobatic trainer / advanced fun model build thread
 

I just received the DYNAMO kits from Italy and I will be building one. I thought I would start a build thread on it.

The Dynamo is designed and built entirely by ARG in Italy to provide a good quality, full composite aerobatic jet trainer. It is fully short grass field capable.
It is also very agile and a good advanced every day fun model.

The fibreglass and wood are of very high quality and the formers are glued accurately and with proper glue joints, typical of European manufacturers.

Special attention was made to the flying surfaces profiles and composite construction.
The jet is very light, with a low wing loading of just 170 gr/dm2, that allows takeoff from asphalt and from grass within 30 meters (100ft).

The Dynamo is designed to use 80~100N platforms.

The Dynamo is the perfect choice to become part of this wonderful world of RC Jet flying.

Technical Characteristics:

Wing Span: 1,999 mm (79")
Wing Span with Winglets (included in the kit at no extra charge): 2,340 mm (92")
Length: 2,180 mm (86")
Wing Area: 56.1 dm2 (without winglets) – 63.3 dm2 (with winglets)
Empty weight: 9.3 Kgs (20.5lbs) dry
Flying weight: 11Kgs (24lbs)
Wing Loading: 170 Gr/dm2 (with winglets)
Suggested Turbine: Min 60 N – Max 100 N
Speed range: from 30 Km/h to max 250 Km/h

I will be using the Merlin 100. I have also made 3 retract sets for it, one based on Behotec C36/2 Air, C36/2 Electric or Electron ER40

Here are a couple of pictures.
Will start the build this weekend and update as I go along.

Nice looking trainer/daily flyer. A sleek modern version of the versatile Boomers. It looks like great fun with a 100 on it for sure.:D

Pete
will a Merlin 140 fit this bird? I would dial it down a bit :)

Re: DYNAMO aerobatic trainer / advanced fun model build thread
 

Peter D,

The Merlin 140 will be fine in there, lots of room inside and no need to dial it down!!!! :)

Its one sweet looking jet............

later fellas

Re: DYNAMO aerobatic trainer / advanced fun model build thread
 

Absolutely, lots of room, however I would not recommend higher power than the 140.

The good news is that you will not have any weight penalty with the 140.

Did not get a chance to update yesterday, so here it is.
The Aileron and retracts skins need to be cut, they are marked so it is very easy to do and only takes few minutes. You need to also cut a 40x20mm hatch to access the Flap servo area.
Next install the flap servo, control arms then retracts.
Will update again soon.

Small progress, wing tip glues, Ail done. Flap and retract next.
