Title: Top Level craftsmanship Macchi by Yves Fernandez
Post by: RandySmith on February 25, 2010, 09:34:37 PM
Hi
This is one from a friend in France , Yves Fernandez

He is really a true master craftsman, and flies stunt too :-)

I have seen much of his work on other airplanes and it is simply outstanding!

Yves published some stuff in Stunt News, wow, maybe 10-15 years ago. I was very impressed with pics of his shop and techniques. The guy is a first rate craftsman (not unlike our own Claudio Chacon). I find seeing this stuff motivates me to get better at building.

That's some serious workmanship to aspire to... almost makes me want to hide my stuff under a rock.   HB~>
Thank heavens for paint, so my woodbutchering is burried well underneath it!  LL~

Great pic's!  #^

 Wow, very nice! I really like the exhaust idea. I'm curious about the engine mount though. The model is obviously very well thought out, but I wonder if that mount is strong enough?

Very excellent work!  I am always impressed with his work.  He's from the same vein as Ron and Al of the Scale Stunt World!

Sooo is the tank shock mounted on the 2 rods? Also, is that single exhaust size big enough (back pressure)? Beautiful craftsmanship!

Yes the exhaust is large enough, the 4 stroke doesn't need as much as a 2 stroke

Thanks Randy. After reviewing my question I retracted it.
