Scarinzi Queen Build
Dave Moritz:
Beautiful finished product! Yup, convincing others to hand launch a CL plane is difficult. I’ll most likely copy your landing gear setup. Thanks.
What a bummer, losing the tail! That TD has a lot of snort. And I agree - the 3/32” balsa isn’t robust. Noticed this when cutting out the fuse this eve. Or did you lose the vertical stab?
Good luck on the maiden.

Slow but steady. Yes, the balsa fuselage is tacked over the plan with a copy glue-stuck to the balsa. This is pinned to the cubicle wall so I can work a piece a day.
I'm not too sure I like the strut wire between the wings and may go with a plywood N strut on each wing tip. I'll attach wingtips once I know how I'm bracing both wings together.
The tail feathers and engine mount still need to be cut too.

Lookin’ good. What motor have you got in mind?
Wonder how Jeremy is doing? Sounds like he maybe has a youngster to take of? I know that my Queen got sidetracked by other life activities, so that can happen. Yet, mine’s on the table begging for attention!

Mr Dave,
I'm considering a PeeWee with custom 3d printed backplate and external tank.
Jeremy Chinn:
Keep at it Jim!
Dave, I went flying last Wednesday, but it was too windy to maiden this little beastie!
I spent the session tuning my SV11.
