Title: Pics of my Scratch Cardinal - More pics added. Trim and Flaps.
Post by: Paul Taylor on February 05, 2008, 04:44:59 PM
Here are pictures of my Cardinal. It is just taped together. I will leave it in parts until I make room in the hanger. <=

Foam wing from Crist. I know I have a few wrinkles but this summer when the weather heats up I will pop it with the heat gun. Should clean up nice.


Power is a LA 46. Still need to cut flaps and make some landing gear. Has weight tip box, adj. leadouts. I will also add adj. trim tab.
No wheel pants cause I do all my flying off of grass. y1

Will add some trim colors too.

Hey Paul,
  Looks like your Cardinal hatched a couple of babies. A yellow one and a blue one. Looking good Paul.

Thanks guys!

I sure wish I had a good place to build, and more time to build. If I can ever figure out how to retire and get a real shop. But by then all my paint and glue will be dried up.

Looking good Paul.
Nice work blending the sewn hinges in.  You really have to look hard to see them.

Paul,

That looks great, but I would swear the top of your outboard elevator says "BOTTOM" VD~

Yea I just slide it in for the pic. It says bottom due to that is how the monokote was put on. Seems go to the bottom. It will be right when I glue it in for good.  n~

But then if I do glue it in upside down, it will be right when I fly inverted. <=

OK Zuriel,
I turn the stab over and added some trim. Also cut the flaps.

It's starting to look like it is ready to fly! y1

Sorry Wynn,
This not going to be a real "show" plane. I hope not but this one might take a bit of a beating. Don't want to put a lot into as far as details.

How did it fly without the wingtip?
I’m currently building the Cardinal, but too lazy to sand-to-shape the wingtip  LL~
If yours fly well, I might also do the same.

 Wow this is a flash from the past.
The plane flew but it was a wall hangar. I think I had a misalignment somewhere.

Thinking on this a little more. I built two fuselages and I ended up putting a yellow fuse on this plane. I made a green canopy out of a pop bottle. It was a learning experience.  I gave away the plane to one of my son’s friends.
It was wall hangar for me. 😛

So, you’re telling me it’s not worth the try, aren’t you?
I’m still learning to fly stunts, and I just crashed my other plane.
I would like to get back to the field as soon as possible and spend more time on flying.

So, I was thinking that making the wingtip square will save times.

I think building it straight just as a trainer I think you can square off the tips. IMHO.

But if you just want a ground beater to learn on go with a Twister. Smaller plane and less wood.
Good luck.
