Goldberg Super Chipmunk

Progressing well now. Cowl has final cut for exhaust outlet. Ailerons, rudder, elevator have been set up with dual rates.
flaps with some elevator compensation and the throttle set up with engine cut. Voltage regulator fitted with failsafe switch. Fuel dot it bit over the top but I had it to hand. I have ordered some chipmunk graphics from Callie Graphics in the USA. Just waiting on the spinner and remote glow to turn up. When or If the wind dies back I may be able to get out and paint the cowl sometime.

Virtually done now, waiting on some graphics and a bit of tarting up and get outside to balance it out with hopefully just batteries. Prop size is 13x8 scimitar but have bought a 14x8 too if under propped. Not sure of the weight yet either.

Today made up a battery tray that slides in below tank so the pack can be moved forward or back. Plane balances at mid point of CG according to Goldberg with empty tank. AUW weight empty = 7.7lbs (3.5Kgs).

Decided on some extra livery. Fuselage line follows on from red leading edge of wing. Hopefully the sponsor graphics by Callie Graphics will be here soon to enhance the looks. Just noticed that the wing tip ends by the ailerons have not been covered. Out with the iron again.:oops:

Graphics turned up today from the USA (Callie Graphics). They are for Art Scholl's version for 1/6th scale although I won't be using all of them. These are great graphics. Peel off the backing, rub down firmly in position (you can use some soapy water to make them slide, etc) then gently lift off the top tape.

Callie hold popular plane graphics or will create custom graphics for you in any size.

Done some sticking on the Chippy fuselage this morning.
