I know I said I would start a project this month but I am going to put it off until next month.
-
Don't you mean 'next year'? :)
-
Yeah, me too. Just too much stuff going on. LL~ Steve

Were you going to build the RD-1 with foam cores or built up? Eclectric or gas?
-
You mean another year is almost gone!!!! :o

Both ways and cores will be available from Robins View Productions (Bob Hunt)
-
I'll be watching for that!
-
The RD-1 is similar to the Prowler...correct?
Can we build along anytime once we subscribe meaning will the videos be available for a while?
Thanks
I am interested for sure.

Is this from the AMA site?

Will we buy plans and cores from Sparky or from you Bob?
-

No, from the Flying Models site I believe.

Hi Duke:
The original RD-1 was published in Flying Models magazine.
Later - Bob Hunt
Thanks Bob. I'll wait to get the E-version plans. I hope to see Robbie at a contest this year. Are you cutting rib sets or just cores?
-
No, from the Flying Models site I believe.
Thanks Crist

Are there still Prowler plans available, I built a couple of them when Scott Smith was offering them, I thought they were a good little plane. I built mine way too heavy, but they still do okay. Only thing I changed is the landing gear, Put it in the wing. Now I would probably use a built up wing and save some weight in that area. Very good little plane though, a few people here in the Northwest used it as a first plane and learned how to fly with it. They can take a beating.

Bob designed the RD-1, and I believe that he heavily influenced the Prowler (?may have done that airfoil as well), which was initially kitted by Scott Smith. The RD-1 has a constant chord airfoil, while the Prowler had a larger, tapered airfoil.
The Prowler was later kitted by Ken Thompson when Scott discovered bicycling.
The Prowler is a terrific flier.
Have fun!

Here is another picture of the RD-1

Hi Duke.
This is the cover of Flying Models of June, 1991.
You find the RD-1 article at pages 46th to 50th.
If you want a copy of the article, please, send a PM :)
Merry Christmas

Hi Bob,
I doubt you remember it, but Aaron's first ever contest was in Cleveland where he stayed with you, Robby, and Billy. He drove the 8 hrs or so and his model was a RD-1 w/Webra .28! He had to glue the wings back on Saturday night in Billy's basement. He did place the next day! He talks about that meet until this day, staying with you and Robby and spending one night in Billy's house! A great trip for a kid! And it was all thanks to you.
Thank you
Bill

John Duncan is still cutting foam and is second source of the foam wing cores for Prowler. John cut me a set of hollow cores I will use to build SIG Mustang.Also will mold a sheet balsa turtle deck to replace the heavy plastic piece from the kit. I think i'll use ST 46 I picked up at this years NJ Circle Burner Swap meet - or maybe B40.

Hi Lyle,
Getting a fuel tank big enough to fit for the ST .46 will be a problem unless you cut back into the wing LE.

I have strong running B40 - better choice? Also have early version FP40 , and 46LA,( both were setup by Byron B ) to chose from.Think I will reserve ST 46 for Brodak Gypsy I just ordered from LHS.

If someone has a .25 they would like to donate to the cause I am going to build and give this away to the biggner winner at the NATS

Bob
Any update on the drawings?
Thanks

Send me a PM. I have two NIB 25 FP's if you are interested. One is ABN and one has a steel piston and liner. Both come with the R/C carb, OS venturie, OS NVA and muffler.

Will a Park 15 work for the electric version? Or what is the desired set up?
-
Duke,
If you're talking about the eflite power 15, then yes plenty of power.

Yes, I think I was confused with the smaller motors like the Park 480. I have a Power 15 for the project. Thanks.
Bob/Robert - I hope no one is blaming or getting upset. I know I can hardly wait, but I can wait. #^ #^ #^
Bob- do you have the electrical set up figured out? 40-45A ESC? Looks like 3 Cell would give you 8400 RPM @ 950Kv and 4 Cell would have 10900 RPM, so guess 4 Cell. You have a battery picked out? Prop?
Thanks for working on this project guys!

Any update for those of us patiently waiting. #^ #^

I wrote a Note to Bob Kruger and he said it should be in a week or so. Best I can do for now and I promise as soon as I get the plans we will start.

Sweet! I'll jump this one to the top of the build list. Is there something I need to sign up for, with your build videos? If, so where?

Sparky,
Any chance there is a bill of materials, primarily for wood, available for pre-ordering?
I should have all I need, but you never know.
thx,
Roger V.

Might StuntHanger Hobby consider assembling a wood and hardware pack?

Aaron and I built an RD-1 a couple years ago (his second) and used a built up wing. It is an excellent flying model had has had a couple engines on it. First was a Leo .37 (UK) from Scott Riese, a TT.36 from Randy Smith and a TT .36 from the Late Byron Barker. His original was a foam wing and used a Webra .28 from Bob Hunt! ;D Very easy to fly well, and leaves nothing to be desired.

Good morning
Are there more videos to watch as a paying member to craftmans series and what's on you tube
-
I'm working on it
-
I am not a paying member yet. Is there more on the paying side. Or same as what's on you tube Sorry for bother robert
-
Well I do not have plans for the RD1 so what I am going to do is another build starting today. 50% here and 50% on CLC. I will be extending membership on CLC 1 year for those who are already registered there. I am am 5 months late on the next project. So look for the next videos in a few days to start to roll out.
-
This seems like an awesome project.
Did plans for the “ RD 1 extreme” ever get completed?
What are the differences between the original and the Extreme version?
Thanks for any info
-
The RD1 and CLC was a failed experiment many years ago.
