Another Blue Nobler....
« on: November 13, 2010, 04:15:54 PM »
Ok, nothing new here... Just another blue ARF Nobler.

But the one thing about this one is it's mine. And it will be the first 40 size stunter that I will fly that weighs under 40oz!  I build heavy.

I had to add .5 oz of tail weight to get the CG right, and it still came out at 39.8oz!!! I can't wait to see how it will feel like to fly a light full size stunter.

I did change out the bell crank, and with the help of Louis Rankin added carbon fiber push rods. Everything else is box stock. Powered by a OS .40 FP. 10.5x 4.5 APC.

Stay tuned...

Thanks Ty.
We do get a few cold days. And I don't like the cold any more. I need to move father south.

Paul,

That looks good buddy.  It looks like you met your goal.  Call me and I'll give you some ideas for the motor mounts.

Hey Zuriel,
I took your advice before I got started and added plywood to the top of the beams. Is there more?

Yes.  I like to line the mount holes with aluminum.

Yep >:D

With the addition of the barrels you will not gain ANY weight.  You have to drill the mounting holes slightly oversize to insert the barrels.  They will be a snug fit.  Put a drop of CA around them and sand them flush with the mounts.  Reinstall engine and go fly.
