The fuselage is about 80% complete, there is still to build the fin, rudder, tailplane, elevator etc. I have made a mount to secure the fuel tank behind the firewall. I have mounted the Zenoah 38cc, but only as a temp measure. A question if I may, I have some linkages/rods to attach to the throttle ...

I have managed to delete the new thread that I started a month ago, and continue here.

I have a brand new Zenoah 38cc engine, never been used.

Thank you.

If you give me the width of the aircraft, I do have several composite undercarriages, Alan, Below are some photos that I have taken of the U/C and some dimensions, hope that this may help. This first photo showing F2 and F3, F2 is 6 1/2 inches wide, plus 1/8 inch lite ply fuselage sides making a to...

This is a 500cc fuel tank that I have, should I place a bigger one in for the Zenoah 38cc engine. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49886833026_6be5fee84e_c.jpg With a Zenoah 38 in that model, which will not need anything like full power to fly, a 500cc tank will last for ages. No need for anythi...

Geoff The Greenley undercarriage is a very simple wire bending job. The top 90 deg bend on the main legs can be assisted with some heat but all the other bends should be done cold to avoid taking the temper out of the wire. I have been bending this type of undercarriages for years with just s simpl...

I have attached the engine mount, silencer, Graupner 20" x 10" prop and spinner over the fuselage side view, to see how this fits.

Hi John, Thank you for your post, will take on board what you have suggested and take another look at the SD Greenley U/C. Because the U/C on the SD Greenley has been tested for years and thousands of landings, makes sence to make the same U/C. Where would it be possible to get a U/C made for this p...

After a lot of thinking have decided to build a XL version of this model. The Storm Petrel was designed by Tad Davidson and an article appeared in RCM&E in March 1991, I have built a couple of these models, one with a .20 two stroke engine as the plan suggests, the second model was an electric v...
