http://zenithf3b.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Friday, 30 January 2009. Launching and Model Set Up. I have discovered the link below about launching and model set up, Joe Wurts. And Darrel Perkins both contribute.quite interesting. Http:/ www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php? I thought I was going to get up to my elbows in thinners and sticky paint residue, but after picking at the tip I found that the paint was lifting out the mould so with a careful pull it came out the mould in one piece. Well.that release agent works very well. It was great to ...

Zenith F3B: January 2010
http://zenithf3b.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 13 January 2010. The advantage of the peel ply is that it not only pulls through the excess resin away from the wing saving weight, when removed it leaves a rough wax free surface to bond to, ensuring that when joining the two mould halves together there will be a good bonding surface. The next stage now is to cut the shear webs and prepare the servos and wiring loom. All being well the tailplane should go together on Sunday, more then. All the best, Harry. Monday, 11 January 2010.

Zenith F3B: Chalster's New Toy
http://zenithf3b.blogspot.com/2010/02/chalsters-new-toy.html
Sunday, 14 February 2010. This weekend was time to join together 'The Chalster's' new model, the pictures below are some before during and after the joining. Again on this the servos are moulded in the wings. Once out of the mould and cleaned up, there was only 1g difference between the left and right hand wings at 722g and 723g each. The tailplane was a little heavier than last time at 92g but this could be down to the disser cloth and thicker paint, next time will will aim for 80g!

Phase 5 Build Log: February 2010
http://phase5build.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Phase 5 Build Log. Wednesday, 24 February 2010. After a break to prepare a Cyril for the F3B season it's back to the Phase 5. Next job is to glue to the fin to the fuselage. When the fin is glued on it has to be jigged up with anything to hand to keep it all straight and true. The fuselage and fin are both held firmly in position. Sunday, 7 February 2010. The fin is a hollow structure. The bottom section is made of ply and holds the bellcrank. The rest is balsa. The fin being assembled.

Phase 5 Build Log: Tailplanes & Bellcrank
http://phase5build.blogspot.com/2010/01/tailplane-bellcrank.html
Phase 5 Build Log. Friday, 29 January 2010. The next step is to build the fin. Before I do this I like to install the wires in the tailplanes to ensure that they line up correctly with the bellcrank. The easiest way to do this is glue the wires in place using the bellcrank as a jig. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Thatcham, Berkshire, United Kingdom. View my complete profile.
