Nice work Andrew!  :clap:

Quick update on the Rodule.
Plans are finished since last week :)
Just reviewing them, and adding a few more details.
Here is the stab / rudder assembly:



By the way Andrew, where do you source your main landing gear?  :?:

Thanks Andrew :)

Yeah, I try to stay around the 10Kgs mark too. That should be doable hopefully.
Cleaning up the plan...

Hi Sverrir,

Yep, you are correct :)




The former you see at that location on the plan above will house the towhook servo.

Files done, ready to be cut :)

@ Ronan: Non, pas besoin :)
J'ai un lien Ebay pour les acheter en Allemagne. Sinon, je le fait moi meme :)

@Andrew: I have the choice ;) Nice aluminium ones from Germany (I have the link if interrested. Will be on the plan) or made my Own (always made my own one I have to say)

Hey Andrew,
Yeah, will do :) (it's at work)

So, today, I did cut a tow plane!  :D
Very pleased with the result! That is going to be big!

A quick assembly of the front part. No glue, and about a minute...



A few parts. The ribs are massive! 50cm wing chord...



And I was bored, so made a logo for it too :)



All in all, very happy. Dried fitted a few parts, and all is going well. Will be in my opinion, very easy and quick to build (well, it's a big square box after all!).

I will double check everything, just to make sure I haven't done something silly, or if there is something that can be improved.

I'll take a photo of all the parts later  :D
