Building a fuse out of what I have laying around.

Got this rudder from a real good friend. I needed a rudder and it needed a new home.

I guess it helps if I show you the picture..

Um, Paul, what rudder?

Paul,
Rudder "looks like" (?) it is offset to the inside, will make plane turn in toward you!

what!!!!! that is not a PIZZAZZ fin!!!

Paul Taylor · « **Reply #4 on:** February 16, 2009, 12:44:50 PM »

The rudder is not glued in just yet... still have some clean up to do.

Wynn,
The wing I have was too big for the Pizzazz. I am using the same type of fuse as you use.

I am going to cut a wing for the Pizzazz once I get the templates made. Looks like a easy wing. Stay tuned.

I think it's a great rudder, should serve you well..

That rudder has been well trained it will do just fine.

No, no, that's the "spirit" isn't it? Except for the red tie.

Paul,
I'm not familiar with the model that you are building.I like the construction method that you are using on the fuselage.

Hey,
I recognize those stiches... You can't "hyde" them

Wow! That rudder brings back visions of terror and terrible fright. Last time I saw that rudder was looking over my shoulder as I was running away from an exploding Mr. Hyde.

Paul Taylor · « **Reply #16 on:** February 17, 2009, 06:48:55 PM »

Yup Joe gave me the tail section after Mr. Hyde came apart. It was a good way for me to see how things are built. The rudder is built up. Might not even paint it.

I figure the tail knows all the moves and can maybe train the rest of the plane.

I(f this doesn't work it's Light Out.

phil c · « **Reply #18 on:** February 18, 2009, 01:58:10 PM »

having the fin already flat on top makes those inverted landings a lot easier!

Willie Johnson · « **Reply #19 on:** February 18, 2009, 03:12:28 PM »

Where's the rest? Are any other parts being reused? This kinda reminds me of some mad scientist kinda thing.

Paul Taylor · « **Reply #20 on:** February 18, 2009, 04:46:01 PM »

Hey Willie,
No the tail was all I got. Joe took the rest of it. I think it had some good stuff to recycle.
You know, bell crank, wheels and maybe that heavy thing on the front with the three blades on it.

Willie Johnson · « **Reply #21 on:** February 19, 2009, 05:22:13 AM »

I look forward to seeing your plane when it's finished.
