EPIC Harrier Build Part 2 - The Purple Screwdriver Strikes Back!

#harrier #dadsrchangar #balsa #howto #build #itff
It's that Friday Feeling; let's begin building the second part od the Harrier. It's Friday, so what could possibly go wrong?
This Blasa Jet is powered by a 4s EDF, making it a thrilling project for any RC enthusiast! Join us as we step into history and recreate one of the most iconic strike-attack aircraft of the 20th Century. Tony Nijhuis' 37" 4s Masterpiece is a tribute to this legendary aircraft, making it a must-see for history and aviation enthusiasts.
In the coming weeks, we will build this Jet from the ground up and have her ready for a maiden as soon as the weather permits.

✈Overview:
*Wingspan 889mm / 35"
*Length 1080mm / 42.5"
*Radio 3 Function (Throttle and Tailerons)
*AUW 1300g / 2.9lbs
*Fan Size 4S, 70mm (Min 1150g Thrust)
*LiPo 4S, 3300mAh ~ 4500mAh 60C
It is probably one of the most iconic strike attack aircraft of the 20th century and a model we have wanted to do for a long time. Although not VTOL, this model is a real joy to build and fly and very easy to hand launch.
Unlike the recent midi jet designs, where the wings were made of solid sheet balsa, this is a built-up wing with one of our tried-and-tested wing sections. Although not a perfect scale representation, as we have used a single 70mm 4S edf and ducted straight to the rear of the model, we are sure that even the most discerning scale modellers out there should be pretty pleased with this offering.
The plans are full-size and reproduced on a large sheet of quality paper.

The CNC pack includes all fuselage formers, fuselage side parts, the tail and fin pieces, the wing ribs plus additional pieces. Finally, to assist the building of this model, we have made available free down loads of a set of build photos.

The build is coming along nicely, Chris. You're right not to rush things just for the sake of a video... time taken now will reap rewards later on. Hope the flying went well for you.

[@DadsRCHangar]

Yup if the Fuse is out then the whole Build will be bad. I did make a mistake when glueing the tail, I did not check it was all straight 😂. Will saw the tail to split, then re-Glue. Fun fun. Have a fun week ahead🫡

[@jamescattanach1129]

Never a waste watching your channel, thank you for the entertainment, experience and knowledge, its greatly appreciated

[@DadsRCHangar]

That’s really nice James, thank you. Well the more i do, the more I learn, I just happy to share what I have learnt. Have a great week. 👍🏻

[@Joliie]

gets us all excited about the purple screwdriver and then tells us to calm down, please make up your mind :)

[@DadsRCHangar]

It’s all about the purple screwdriver. Had to calm all down or I would have broken stuff 😀. Have a fun week ahead Joliie 👍🏻

[@Flyingfinn0]

Wow I'm impressed,love the lazer alignment ,very pro

[@DadsRCHangar]

@@Flyingfinn0 Not sure about Pro, but having fun 😂. Thanks for popping buy thou. 👍🏻

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Chris that building board/jig is one heck of a tool! Hope you have a great time flying brother!

[@DadsRCHangar]

Had a great time flying Adam, was just doing landings etc. had some greasers as well. Yup the Jig is a great tool, just need to get used to it. Have a great week buddy. 👍🏻

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

Chris great progress. I managed to bust balsa all the time. I mowed and flew at the field this morning. Have great progress on a wing for my clipped wing cub this week. Everyone should always say, Let’s Go Flying. 😊😅 Jeff in LA USA

[@DadsRCHangar]

That’s good you have progress as well. Yup was nice to get out and fly. Took the time to do many landings etc, had a great time. Will catch up with your show today while tinkering around in the Hangar. Have a fun week ahead Jeff👍🏻

[@DavidOwensuk]

Great progress Chris loving the progress! The Lazer tech is very cool too.

[@DadsRCHangar]

Love Tech, and this is cool, will perfect the laser assembly 😂. Have a fun week buddy. 👍🏻

[@IansRCExploits]

Coming along nice Chris 😀👍

[@DadsRCHangar]

@@IansRCExploits Thanks Ian, good to see you out on the sticks again. 🫡

[@stevearmett1565]

Nice update making progress Chris 😁👌 keep going bit by bit 💪

[@DadsRCHangar]

Thanks Steve, I did make a mistake thou, when I glues the tail, I didn’t make sure the body was square. Now I have to saw the tail and re-glue. Glad I caught it now, or it would be a banana plane 😂. Have a great week buddy. 👍🏻

[@MarkCroucherRC4fun]

Always fun to watch I use CA for 90% of the build I do.

[@DadsRCHangar]

Always interesting to see what others like yourself do. I have learnt so much from your building. Have a great building week Mark. 🫡

[@Caroline_Tyler]

As long as you are enjoying the build - it's all good :)

[@DadsRCHangar]

I am enjoying the build, made a little mistake at the tail, should have checked all was level when i glued 😂. All fixable. Have a fun week Caroline. 👍🏻

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Fun in the shed 👍 Something I do to speed up building while the white glue dries Chris is to glue most of the joint and once assembled run ca along the part, or just at the ends to act as a sort of liquid clamp while the white glue sets 👍

[@DadsRCHangar]

Not a she’d it’s a Hangar 😜. Great tip Cliff, will try that, so much still to learn,all good fun thou 😁. Have a fun week building yours. 🫡

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

@@DadsRCHangar I did wonder if I typed the wrong description there 🤪🙄

[@DadsRCHangar]

Hehe 😃

[@Bareknuckleflying.]

Looking good Chris. For longevity i would definitely use a pva type wood glue on the fuzz. CA is great but brittle and with all those belly landings with a model like this you want something with some give in it. I would imagine tony wants to build them quick as test subjects so can see why he would use CA. Try the gorrila wood glue Chris its brilliant.

[@DadsRCHangar]

@@Bareknuckleflying. Will give the Gorilla glue a go. Yea I believe the Fuz needs to be the most flexible, I still PVA most of the wings where I can. Used the Aliphatic glue as its water proof. Have a fun week ahead. 👍🏻

[@Bareknuckleflying.]

@DadsRCHangar aliphatic Is really good and sands so easy but it's the drying times that get a bit annoying. Gorilla wood glue you only need a very thin amount and it's clamp time is 30 mins. Think about water proofing the wood to chris as balsa is like a sponge. And one other thing, when are we gonna see the super sinbad in the air?🤪
