Title: Winter project
Post by: Wayne J. Buran on December 07, 2012, 05:43:45 AM

Started my winter project and thought I would try a .15 size airplane. 30" wing span, 21' fuselage and powered by ASP-15. This is another round tail Guardian. The airplane was designed by Gary Hull. I'll try to keep up the progress with some pictures.
Thanks
Wayne

Now we have to  worry about beating Bill's Zero.   But, he is one of the best and hardest working at this event called Navy Carrier.

moving forward ever so slowly. Got the tank and bellcrank arranged. Finished up the wing with the L/O guide. Started working on the stab and elevator today.
Thanks

Well, I finally got it done. 23 oz's. I think the balance looks good. Spring is a long way away. It looks like I am ready for spring and hopefully Brodak's. I hate maiden flights. Here are the final pictures. Brodak Dark Blue BH-1802 covering, ASP 15 with 2 ounce Brodak wedge tank, J. Roberts handle and bellcrank.
Thanks

So, finally some decent weather, nice breeze out of the north. Low speed went great, second adjustment by Gary H on the low speed needle and we are in busines. Looks like it will hang with a little more practice and maybe just a touch of tail weight. Flying the fifteen's is sure differant.
Thanks
