Avroman Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 It has been a long time since I been in here. Dont frequent forums much any more and have moved on to something a little bigger. This is what we been up to. 1/10 7 foot Arrow. Two 90mm electronic ducted fans, two 22.2 volt batteries and two red brick 125 amp speed controller. We plan to fly it this coming spring at the old air field in Bonchere Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Nice! Looks like you like those large-scale aircraft. Is this wood or fiberglass? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Avroman Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 The Arrow is blue insulation foam with aluminum arrow shafts for strength. The red and white is a scratch build with using pink foam. The Spitfire is me putting it up in Zurakowski Park after a repaint and putting the call letters on. It was a kit. The desk that most of my smaller work is done belonged to Janusz Zurakowski. His son Mark gave it to me. What a pleasure to build on a piece of history. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwestforests Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Oh that Arrow is going to look good in the air! Which is not to insinuate that it might look any less good on the ground 😄 For those with an interest in the aircraft, this is a pretty good book if you can find one. Copyright 1980, revised 1992. I haven't looked to see whether there are further editions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Avroman Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) If you youtube Avro Arrow rest flight there is a guy in Barrie Ontario tested one with devastating results. It is plain to see his center of gravity was tail heavy. Almost looks like the Zurabatic flip. The one from Barrie was about 10 times the cost of ours. Ours was about 1,500.

junkman3353 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Don't get too attached, the government will likely cancel it. (ducking/covering) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Avroman Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 Once again idiots are going to ruin a good hobby. Drones are going to kill us. There is talk about having to be tested to get a fliers license Quote Link to post Share on other sites
