[quote]ORIGINAL: k5mog Kudos to you and your friend 260 man. This a really intersting build after the nansayers are edited out. I've built several Cardens and they all turned out heavier than I had hoped. My first was a 35% edge, which finished at 30#, however it was glassed and painted. I hope this 260 build is sucessful for your friend so I can follow his lead. Please don't leave

Rather than use, the supplied L bracket Bob decide to make an end cap that replaced the L bracket.

Today Bob was able to accomplish a lot on the tail section. After hacking at the elevators half’s and getting the end caps on the horizontal stabs, here are the results. Each elevator came in at 3.2 oz Total weight of both elevators and both stabs 15.0 oz

RE: 40% 260 on a Diet
[quote]ORIGINAL: as722 So are you saying that you put the whole airplane together, wings, stabs etc. and it balances at 2.5" behind F-2 or are you saying that your fuse balances at 2.5" behind F-2 ? Albert [quote]ORIGINAL: sensei Albert, The recommended C/G is 11.3" behind F2 and this thing balances at 2.5" behind F2 equaling 8.8" in front of the C/G as it sits Ok, there is 1 LB 12 ozs. in tail feathers, servos and hardware at 60" behind the C/G; moving the C/G aft about 8.00" Because of the project target weight and power plant choice, the aft portion of the fuse had to be fabricated very light or the recommended C/G would have been unattainable without led in the nose; killing the target weight in the first place. Remember that 60" arm is very sensitive to the C/G. Bob [/quote] [/quote] Albert, At the point of discussion, there were not horizontal stabs on the aircraft, no wings, just rudder and vertical fin (Fuse). The motor, ignition, and throttle servo were installed as well as spinner and prop, cowl, and canopy. See the photo..........

[quote]ORIGINAL: as722 260 man, If it doesn't balance and or doesn't have enough power with the 100 will it be strong enough for a 150 ? Thanks Albert [/quote] Yep, but it will fly just fine on the 100..............

Roger, The wings have not been done as of yet. The stabs pattern were drawn (laid up) on the foam and then cut (drilled) out. There was no pre defined pattern...

RE: 40% 260 on a Diet
Today was spent cleaning up the different areas of the fuse and getting it close to the point of covering......(still a lot to do before it is at that point) There were some concerns about the area around the horizontal stabs. After careful thought Bob decided to add a carbon fiber tube between the two L bracket blocks that holds the stabs on. After installing this tube, which by the way added NO weight, I tried to compress these two blocks......... I could not........... Lots of strength at no added weight cost...........

Today we put the wing and stab tubs in both the 330 and Bob's new 260. As I held the wing tub, Bob applied a twisting motion on the stab tube. Trust me when I say this, there was Very little at all

Ok guys, not a lot of visual progress today but a big step completed. Plus the weather sucked it was cold and raining all day. Makes a person not want to do much at all. Bob worked on the vertical fin and rudder today combined they only added 10 oz.
