Sbach

Talking about getting the gear ready this morning and just after lunch got a landline from Jane to say the Sbach had been delivered to the castle and could I go and pick it up as it was clogging the shop Anyways got it home and unpacked it in slight trepidation as there was some damage to the outer box.Needn't have worried as everything was fine.
I have to say I was pleased with the Edge I had off Peak models before but they've stepped up the quality again, every thing's sound on this the tanks plumbed in even with a fuel dot fitted in the fus but i'll probably change the tank bung for a Dubro one. The only slight disappointment is the elevator servos are in the fus and not the stabs, aesthetically not as pleasing but in reality won't cause me any grief as the tailfeathers will be staying on.They even give you a pack of Araldite for the minimal gluing jobs required. Hope the weather stays potatoes now so I can get it built only joking

we'll see it fly on Saturday then Brian.

Can I have your JR sticker?

Looks nice from what I can see, Proberbly fly before my Rav as well

M

JR sticker's on ebay open to bids only kiddin you can have it no bother

You don't happen to have a mounting template for dle do you?

Have a DA one, but its the same, give me a shout if you want it as its at Dad's but its a 10min job to get it

M

In fact Ive got to go there in abit so it will be here if you want to swing by and get it, Im not at the field till weekend

M

Looks good that Brian. The Elevator servos are in teh Fuselage on my Red thing too. A little annoying as it makes unpluging the stabs a pain.....


Andy

Had my tea and got second wind, fitted the gear and took it outside for a dummy run just to make sure everything fits ok, which it does. I think it's shorter coupled than anything else I've had although the looks can be deceiving with no prop and spinner fitted. The fuselage interior looks cavernous width wise compared to the other 50cc jobs I've had, not complaining it'll make life easier getting the gear in there.

All it needs now are some Andy Sayle prop covers

OK Mark I'll take you up on that I'll probably drop down tomorrow evening

Heh heh, I wondered how long it would be before that photo appeared on here.

Prop-Socks are available in whatever fabric you desire too. So long as you can get it to me

Andy

Very pretty Brian,lovely paint scheme.
I see Andy's playing dress up again.

Danny.

And unless someone is having a laugh, I may have just sold a pair of Prop Socks over on 3DRC! Blimey.....

So thats wat andy was sowing at the field recently!

Have you declared your second income to the tax man Andy?

I've not had any income..... yet.....

Andy

If he was sowing them , the "bloomin" things will be all over the palce in few weeks.

Very nice Bri. Look forward to seeing it down at the field.

Thanks for the link Mike

The Sbach's coming on a pace, all the tailfeathers are hinged and had the linkages fitted, apart from the P/P cables on the rudder, and the elevator servos are fitted. Got the engine in today, bit of a faf to get it central to the cowl which is the neatest cowl I've had to date. I haven't had to dremel the cowl at all to get the engine in. I think all I'll have to do is a very small aperture for the plug cap and an exit for the hot air

That looks a great fit, nice one Bri

M

Bri dose it have a can tunnel ?

M

What size prop are you going to be running Brian, and do you have any preference on the fabric for your complimentary "Prop-Socks"?!

Seriously though, if you want a set of wingbags doing, let me know.

Cheers
Andy

I want some prop socks for my rather sharp 14 x 10 APCE on the PC9 please Mr Chairman. It will help to avoid slashing my car seats
