Minimax 1100r Aircraft Build Vlog Episode 49 - Fuselage Side

[@flyingkub]

I have used T88 for the first time and I now know why you apply with a stick, it is thicker that any other resin I have used. Good to see you make progress and it looks as if it is going fast. Are there any diaganols in the fuselage. Love those massive bolts used as weights.

[@DTMinimax]

There are diagonals. It’s sheeted plywood up to station 3 and then diagonals from there to the rear. I ran out of the 5/16 x 5/8 I had already cut so I have to cut some more to continue the diagonals.

@@DTMinimax Ah I see, as long as it triangulated some how before you take it off the table you should be okay.

[@DTMinimax]

And It’ll go back against the fence before putting the plywood on. You must have received your Fisher tail?

[@flyingkub]

@@DTMinimax Yes so first video out Saturday.

Is scarfing done because of where the longeron bends.

[@DTMinimax]

The bottom one is two different sizes of material. The top one has to do with the length. Not easy to find material that long. I cut all my wood from 2x6x12’ lumber

If I were to build my fuselage again I would make it a flat nose firewall, not build the bed mount into it. Then I can fabricate a motor mount for whatever motor I use. I could shift the motor fore and aft to adjust the CG too. See Brian's build for example: www.lonesomebuzzards.com/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl/Blah.pl?m-1384361203/s-750/
