| The short kit comes from AerodromeRC, here in the States. The designer tries to keep his planes as true to scale as possible, so no dihedral, though I certainly could of built some in I guess. When you say aileron differential, what exactly do you mean? The total throw is about 3/4" up and down from center. I like to use my transmitter to add about 10% rudder, to start, to my aileron control, and tweak it as needed.
As far as my "swirling", after finding an actual picture of the original 30.27, I realized that the engine cowl was swirled, or should that be "swurled" because its Austro-Hungraian? I had watched Peter Rake swirl one of his planes in another forum, so I PM'd him for any tips. He was very nice and responded quickly. Basically I took my Dremel tool, took a old cutting wheel and CA'd a small circular piece of green scouring pad on to it. I had previously found a couple of throw away aluminum cookie sheets at a local grocery, so I swirled the sheets. I cut a template from paper, determined the size, and then cut the aluminum 1/8" larger. I applied this to a piece of 1/64 inch ply by just bending over the edges. Between the aluminum and the ply I came up with the plans requirements of 1/32 balsa sheeting.
Sorry about the run on post! |
