Pegase Composites Akuma

[tbrum]

I lightened the tailpost and got it hinged.

[tbrum]

Got the upper and lower t-canalizers edged with balsa and sanded / shaped for the LE’s and TE’s

The fronts of each have CF rods that lock into some plywood formers that I fab’d up and glued in with hysol

A single bolt through a hard point holds each t-can to the fuse

[tbrum]

And here are the wings/ailerons and stabs/elevators cut out, edging on, shaped, hinge lines beveled and a final sand to 600grit!

Motor is a Plettenberg Advance 30-10 with 89mm Falcon CF spinner and 22x13 Falcon CF prop.

I bought the Pletty mounting rings from F3AUnlimited.com.

[tbrum]

I fab’d up a front ring and rearward “ears” for the mounts!

The motor has 0.5deg down thrust and 3.5deg right thrust.

Like when Jim went from Huckin to IMAC, so sad

UNLIKE YOU Steve, I NEVER left IMAC!

Flew the Raven this past weekend. It's OK. I LIKE the EF 35cc MXS Better.

Lots of weird habits with the Raven like severe nose down when applying Rudder.

Trev you been hanging around Chad to much.

I guess ALL the HUCKERs are up on The Trout Farm!

Hey looks like you still had paint left from your shop in Burlington cuz I'd swear your new shop is the same colour! LOL!

[JDaly]

WOW 50cc Power there!

If they wanted a Bipe why didn't they just build as a Bipe?

The local Patern experts here say Monoplane Pattern ships are so 60's. Everyone's moving to Bipes!

Paint job looks good!
