Sea Harrier
Posted: Tue Feb 23, 2021 2:08 pm
I'm building a couple of Depron models at the moment. The first is the Sea Harrier, from Craig Clarkson's plan in https://jetworks.online/parkjets/
I've been describing it in the Jetworks Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1826370074287164, but for those not on Facebook or not in that group, here are some photos from the build so far.
The starting point: Depron for both models cut on the needle cutter Assembly started. The grill on the bottom is supposed to let excess air out, given the huge intakes. and allow air flow over the ESC. A number of parts are 3D printed. The wing has 6mm CF tubes glued in, and the halves are glued together at the correct angle using the supplied jig. Electrics going in. I'm using a Lemon RX stabilised receiver. Main Depron parts complete. 3D printed inlets added and 3mm Depron curved round to form the sides. Sanding started. The 3D printed canopy is just to get the positioning right, and will be replaced with a transparent canopy later. So that's where it is now, more updates later, and I'll describe the second model when I've got a bit further with it.
