Nitroplanes

Put cursor over pictures for legend

This is how the front end arrives, mine arrived broken so i fixed it with epoxy and fiberglass

on the inside and that piece of balsa on the outside to give it a bit of rigidity.

This is the orifice for the steering nyrod.

Reinforced the wing holding plate with a piece of plywood and fiberglass sandwich

and used nylon screws instead of the metal one that came with ARF.

Reinforced the wing sadle lips with some balsa and cyano to make it more rigid

Made hole for the muffler.

Used Two aleiron servos instead of one, for strength and safety, if one goes bad while flying the other can stil bring the plane safely down.

reinforced with fiberglas the joint of the wing

Measure the place where the engine head will come out of the cowling.

Made hole for the front wheel axle.

uused a 3 fuel line system so as to have one for fueling with a fuel dot.

Instead of painting canopy on inside used vinyl strips .

Used single point hinges instad of the cyano ones.

Prop is a 11 x 6 graupner on Gms 47 engine,

Reinforced main wheel gear wood blocks with hardwood

The wire is a small safety fuse for harder landings so that the gear does not fold back every time just on the very hard ones.

NOTE: AFTER 2 CRASHES WIT HEAVY TAIL, HAD TO USE AT LEAST 16 OZ OF LEAD ON THE NOSE
