RE: Composite-Arf 33% Gee Bee R2 - First Flight - Pics - Videos - L@@K

Hi, I'm about to put the door on my R2, can anyone post some photos of their door, from the inside please. And also are people using the spring latch with the door? Or are y'all using something else?...

Looks awesome Hannes, congratulations. Is that all from on aluminium billet? Do you have a CNC machine?

Thanks Richard. The door and the engine baffling are the last two things I need to finish off before flight now. Do you have any photos or tips for the baffles that you want to share?

Thanks Richard, exactly the kind of confirmation I'm after. Did you use a "CG machine"for balancing? Also, any advice on construction of the door hinges or latches as that is the last part I'm...

Thanks Hannes, I'm interested to know how close to the recommended CG you are flying as it looked very stable in flight, must be the pilot!

Congrats Hannes! Looks like you did a great job. Can you post some specs on your CG and dihedral? How did it feel in flight?

Hi All,

Can you tell me what the last flying wire is that you connect when assembling your airframe? Have you used any turnbuckles on any of the wires so that you can attach the flying wires, then...

Hi Eagle,

The "carbon" recievers from JR/Spektrum are exactly the same receiver except they have longer leads designed to extend to the outside of the fuselages on all carbon gliders.

Thanks Jimmy, Richard's manual says to make sure they are removable so you can change the servos, horns etc. Which is good advice, as they do wear out or need a lube every now and then. That's a good...
