| DICKEYBIRD:
These are all r/c models I designed & built a few yrs. ago (before I got the metal munching disease) using TurboCAD and a homebuilt CNC router to cut out the sheet balsa & ply parts. They are all powered by modified (exhaust sleeve-throttled) Cox TeeDee .049's except for the motor-glider which has a Cox PeeWee .020 and the biplane which has a Cox TeeDee .020. |
| Bluechip:
Dickeybird Very nice indeed. Is the Biplane a semi-scale Sopwith Camel? The reason I ask, is a friend made one. I accused him of making the wingtips back to front. Look a bit strange to me like that. Way beyond my abilities ::) I'm impressed .. Dave BC |
| DICKEYBIRD:
Thanks Dave. Actually, the bipe (I call it the Stealth Camel 'cuz it's got see-through covering) was a design exercise to have good performance including touch n' goes, taxiing, good take-offs, etc. with an exhaust sleeve-throttled .020 Tee Dee. It's the lightest construction/appearance package I could come up with at the time and looks closest to a Sopwith Pup fuselage & empennage with Camel wings. I hate them backward wingtips on the 'Pup.;) |
| Bernd:
Very nice builds Dickeybird. All free flights right? That twin engined one is a nice piture. Took a while until I realized it wasn't on the ground. Bernd |
| Darren:
Very, very, nice, those planes are stunning. I'd love to try one but it may not look pretty for very long in my hands..... :lol: |
