Title: Scratch built Cardinal almost done. BOM.
Post by: Paul Taylor on April 24, 2009, 07:44:00 PM

Well I out did myself on this one. I know it is over three pounds, cause that is the limit of my scales. HB~>

Anyway excuse all the clutter on the table, have not cleaned up yet. Just have to make sure all the screws are tight. I hope the weather is good this weekend so I can see how it flys.

It is a built up fuse and a foam wing, all wraped in monokote. LA .40. The only good thing is I did not have to add any weight to get the CG. It is spot on with the plans. I just need to wrap the leadouts.

Oh yea - the prop in the picture will be replaced. One blade is cracked, just on the engine while I built.

Oh yea... Brad Walker built up Rudder from Mr. Hyde, and a pop bottle canopy. #^


Thanks Ty. My .46 is on my Tutor. Just might have to search the bay for another one. #^

Way to go.  Looks good from here.   H^^
Did you score another LA46, or steal the one from your Tutor?

I hope for an "at the field" report tomorrow.    x:

Paul,

That looks great and will fly just as good.  It should get you to the next level you are looking for.

Sorry I couldn't get over today.  I hope the winds wait and you all have a great time.
