Half-Scale Build #36


I'm including these posts as a guide to how best to adjust the airframe size to suit a range of different motors, as I have decided to prior to electrifying. I've selected stock metre lengths because these suit carbon-fibre builds beside alloy. After unbolting the centre-section from the previous build, I've rigged it on the workshop floor in the best tradition of shipbuilders ~ it's a belt-and-braces check that I always rely on to back up calculations and measurements. I needed to up these cantilevers to around 630mm.

This is the advantage of commercial-off-the-shelf building in alloy... no messy welding, nor composites to bin.
