Title: Tom Morris Mustang?
Post by: Avaiojet on February 12, 2020, 08:13:09 AM

Tom Morris offers a Mustang framed. The wing has a dihedral, I believe 1.125" at each tip? I'm not sure if it's both wing tips or just one?

Does anyone know if this is correct or what the true measurement is?

I have built and flown two. Both  wings have dihedral. I believe it was 1.25 at each tip. It is built in a jig, one side at a time.

Hey Chief! 

That's a great looking Mustang.  You do nice work!

Ty: they fly great, don't they!  What did you use for an engine?

Here's mine.

Chris Fretz has been campaigning one.  I think he has an ST-51 on the nose.  It is the tapered thickness wing version.  I think that one is the better flying version.

Thanks for the replies on that inch and an eighth.

Unfortunately, double checking my measurements and three views, I now see I need 2.5" on each tip for a scale appearance. Possibly 2.75".

I'm looking into it.

Very little is prefabed.

Ty: was your fuselage prefabbed?  The ones we got from Tom had prefabbed fuselages and were well-shaped.  The wings were his typical "Millenium" design, and he had already put the leading and trailing edge pieces together.  Granted that wing has many more parts because it is sort-of like an I-beam wing using rib-strips, but it wasn't too hard to assemble using his wing-blocks.

We did ours as a club build and had Saturday building sessions to work on them.  Some of the guys who couldn't make the sessions had a hard time with the wing, but I think that most of ours got built.  We are a typical club with a variety of building and flying talents, so the building sessions were a help to those who weren't regular builders.

Still have it. 

Ty:

You should get a wing kit and rebuild!  Your Mustang was really good-looking!
