Title: Went and sanded something
Post by: Paul Taylor on June 07, 2016, 09:35:37 PM: I took a little break from the boards and went away and sanded something. Still need to bench trim it and the get a few flights on it before next weekends contest. Dedicated to my wife.

Post by: John Park on June 08, 2016, 06:24:23 AM: This is really, really nice - at the risk of revealing myself as an ignoramus, may I ask whether this is an existing design, or your own creation? Either way, more pictures would be very welcome, along with details of power unit etc.

Regards
John

Post by: John Park on June 08, 2016, 08:54:00 AM: Yes, I'm an ignoramus. Vector 40 it is.

Post by: Paul Taylor on June 08, 2016, 09:44:53 AM: Yep. It's a Vector. Power is a PA .40 on a pipe. All Brodak Dope. Tried to keep it simple and light. I think I achieved the simple but missed on the light. 😕 Was shooting for 52oz but I think I missed it.
Still needs to be buffed out. (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160608/467bc163e65016d4501c7d5504afd2e8.jpg)

Post by: Paul Taylor on June 08, 2016, 09:03:06 PM: Well the plan was to bash this into:

http://www.vermontel.net/~tomh/images/AIRCRAFT/TYPES/P51/P51D.jpg

It was really slowing down the build. It has P51 wing tips and Stab.
I Made a P51 top block, rudder and belly scoop. But scrapped the idea.

Canopy was made by Joe A. It's a copy off his Viper.

My first time using a pipe.

Not much to show on the bottom. The Vector is small and the pipe just hangs out in the wind. H^^

Excellent job on your Vector. Looks like your time away from the forum was well spent. Can't wait to see it at Paducah later this summer.

Sent you a PM.

Blessings;
Larry
