| SteveM | Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide | Build | 25-Mar-10 22:32 |  | | Views : 1122 | | I've decided to stick with the recommended MPI EPU-3 motors, GWS 7x6 props, and TP 2S 1350mAh battery. Each motor drew about 2.75A on a 50% full battery so I hope the little Pixie-7P will be able to handle the current of two motors on a fully charged battery. Regardless, there is no need for a 25A ESC as is recommended in the directions. |
| SteveM | Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide | Build | 24-Mar-10 16:12 |  | | Views : 914 | | The plans for the 53" Guillow's B-29 shown at the bottom are the largest I have on hand. By arranging the wing patterns across the path of the paper going through the printer any distortion will be applied to both wings. The Sopwith Camel plans above it have the same layout the DH-89 has, providing potential for the left wings to both be shorter than the right wings. But of course they were dead on. |

I elected to make the bowing forms out of a lamination of 1/8" and 1/16" balsa sheet. It would have been easier to use some 3/8" thick by 6" wide sheet I had, but I couldn't bear to carve it up when I had a pile of low quality balsa from Tower Hobbies on hand. Notice I had plenty of broken sticks. |
