Αυτο είναι ενα πιο μεγαλο "version" απο το Peanut σκεδιο του Walt Mooney με λιγα "tweaks" εδω και εκει.   Εκανα ένα 5 χρονια πριν ομως είχα πολύ προβλματα με το "undercarriage", ποιο σπασμενε σκεδων καθε πτηση.  Ελπιζω αυτο το μοντελο θα είναι πιο δυνατο και επισης ετοιμο για το BMFA Scale Indoor στο Walsall σε Απριλιο. Θα δουμε.

Λοιπαμαι, ομως πρεπει να γρασψα της λεπτομερειες απο το "build" στα Αγγλικα, γιατι το Ελληνικο λεξιλογιο μου είναι μικρό.  Corrections to dodgy grammar and vocabulary are always welcome.

This is a larger version, with some modifications, of Walt Mooney's peanut scale Chiribiri No. 5.  I built one over 5 years ago and although it flew the undercarriage was fragile and the model spent more time being repaired than flown.  I'm hoping that with a larger version I can make the undercarriage robust enough without a weight penalty to spend more time flying than repairing.

I'm also hoping to have it ready for the BMFA indoor scale intermediate class event in April, but it may be that it will have to wait until 2027.

To business.
1 - What idiot thought a scale rib count was a good idea.
2 - One fuselage, mostly complete.

Wings.  Waiting for final shaping of the leading and trailing edges as well as the addition of through tubes (probably fine grass stems) for rigging mounting points.

1 - Port
2 - Both wings resting in place.  The top cowling will be fitted properly nearer the end of the build.

Any Greek readers care to let me know the usual terms for the various parts (undercarriage, leading edge, trailing edge κτλ) I'd be pleased to know them

Looks amazing! Not sure if I'll make it fr the BMFA Nats, but would love to see this completed!

Το επομενο βημα - ενα τιμονι*

Χρειασεται της μεντεσεδες.  Ο θαλαμος του Trinity δεν είναι φαρδύς, 13μ μονο, και δεν θελω τα μεγαλα "trim tabs" για αυτο το μοντελο.

Ξυλο
Πανω, κατο - 1/20" x 1/32"  (≈1,2mm x 0,8mm) basswood
Πλευρα* (  1/20" □  μπαλσα 7.5lb/cu ft  ≈ 126g/dm^3**
Ο στυλος για της μεντεσεδες 1/20" □ 9.5lb/cu ft μπαλσα ≈ 160g/dm^3
Αλλα ξυλο 1/20 7.5lb/cu. ft μπαλσα

* Ηπαρχουν καλητερες λεχες για αυτη κατασταση;
** Αν λογοριαζω σωστο!

-------------------------------
Next small step the rudder/fin.  The hinges are wire from sandwich bag ties. A moveable rudder is very, very helpful for flying at Trinity because the maximum circuit without obstacles is only 13m and large trim tabs on such a small rudder/fin would look ugly.

As usual trying to keep the tail parts as light as possible so thin section wood is used. Ribs and hinge post are 1/20" balsa and the upper and lower curves are 1/20" x 1/32" basswood.  The hinge post is made of slightly harder wood so that the hinges don't pull out.

Αυτο τη δουλεια είναι καλο το Ελληνικο λεξιλογιο μου! 
Η γραμματικη μου ομως...!

Ενας αλλο συστατικος, η ουρα (η σωστη λεξη;)

Προβλεπω προβηλματα με της προτες πτησες.  Δειτε το "reflex" εγκαρασια τομη, φαινεται να υηπαρχει "up elevator".

_____________________________________________________________
Next bit, the tail plane.  I can see the reflex cross-section causing some interesting behavior when it comes to trimming as it looks as though it gives a permanent up elevator.  After I built the peanut version I thought that if I ever built another I would use a flat tail-plane, but (silly boy) I thought I'd give the scale shape another go.  If it doesn't work I will replace it with a flat version.

1 - Shimming the trailling edge outline to meet the tail of the ribs
2 - Packing the lower spar with folded paper.
3,4 Built

Υπέροχη κατασκευή!

Lovely construction!

Ευχαριστώ Σπιρο.

Χθες το βράδυ (και σήμερα) άρχισα τους τροχόι με ακτίνες.  Ελπίζω να τελειώσω αυτους την εβδομάδα ομως ολλα παέι σιγά.

1 - Αν δεν γνορίζετε την μεθοδικότητα, ροτήτστε κ. Γιώργο Κ. 
2 - Κλοστή για της ακτίνες
3 - Απαραίτητα εργαλεία! 

--------------------------------------------------
Made a start yesterday evening on the spoked wheels, contiuned with the axles today .  I'm hoping I'll get the wheels finished this week, but back at work after Xmas and everything is going slowly. Managed to get all the discs cut, the lacing guide sorted and the axles made.

1 Using the method that Γιώργο Κ posted in the old HPA I & II gallery. 
2 The thread I intend using.  Not used this before. It's thinner than the button thread I usually use but it's the right colour so I won't have to paint it.
3 Vital tools (for me) for this forum.

Που πιγαίνει το καιρο;  Επιτέλους, σκεδόν, δυο τροχόι.  Χρεασόνται λιγο δουλειά με γυαλόχαρτο και χρώμα. Ένα έργο για αυριο.
------------------------------------------------------
Whoosh! And there goes another fortnight in the blink of an eye.  Finally got the wheels built this last few days. Well, almost.  Still some final shaping to do and painting.  Hope to get that done tomorrow.

ωραίο!

[TheLurker]

ωραίο!

Είστε ευγενικός, αλλά, όχι.  Δείτε κατω...

Ποιός είναι το πιο μεγάλο τούβλο του κόσμο;  Ναι, καθένας εδώ ξέρει ποιός.

Οι τροχόι είναι πιο χοντρόι!  Δείτε την φοτογραφία.  

Ξέρω το λάθος δικό μου, αλλά δεν θα πω!

-----------------------------------------
Who's an utter clot?  Yes, me.

The wheels are too fat/thick. Compare them to those of my Fokker D VIII.  I know what I did wrong, and it's too stupid for words so I'm not going to tell you.

Two choices.  Build new or see if I can cut and sand the unnecessary outer lamina off.  Going to see if I can butcher the wheels first.  If it works all well and good if not just make new.

Ζήτω για το Mountjaro (και γυαλόχαρτα )

Χρειάζονται λίγη περισσότερη δουλειά, αλλά οι μ'αρέσουν.

-------------------------------
That went better than I thought it might. Fairly pleased with that.  A little bit more sanding, sealing & painting needed, but they'll look much more as they should.
