RC Guys Ag Wag

[bob forest]

Hi guys, well, started the AG Wag last week. 98" wing span. I bought it when I went to Toledo last April. So it has been sitting here for quiet a while. Quiet a nice ARF. very well put together. I will have smoke, the First Place 40cc. Also a few other gadgets.
Here are the pics so far.

Work advancing slowly, but surely. Now doing the wings, have to install the struts, and all the little gadgets that go on the wing. Have to have the wing installed for this stage.
here are the pics as of today.

Did a little more work on the Ag Wagon. Added the struts which are metal with an air foil. They have to be on, as it was also a scale feature, but also important is that the wing tube is a very short one, so these struts will help in the strenght of th eplane. That is not our bedroom, it is a bed I have in the basement, which I use for balancing a big plane, or when I have to assemble the whole plane to continue working on it. In this caseo, the wings had to be on to do the struts, and the wing fairings. which are just now sitting on the wings, I now have to take the struts off and glue these pieces in place, then re install the struts.The new 3 pictures that I have added show the amount of dhiedral on this plane. Lots, so should be a very easy plane to fly.

Bob! I was wondering why you were so quiet lately...
Soooo, sniffing glue in your basement again, eh!?

Hey BAlbert and Bob stop sniffing glue and come to snif some glow at the field instead.

Well, she is all ready to go. She is now balanced, needed 4 oz in the nose. she finished at 19lbs 8oz.
She is equiped with a FPE 40cc, Sullivan smoke pump and own power pack, Fiber optic engine cut off, flaps, ailorons, two servos for elevator, rudder, and engine. B&B landing gear reinforcement. 5" wheels. Really happy the way she came out. looks really neat and different. Now I can start to build the Kangke Monocoupe 98" wing span. My next project. On a nice day when the ice is safe will do the maiden flight of the Ag Wagon.
here are the pics.

It looks great Bob! ... I think it is too big to fly in a greenhouse though ... the only kind of cropdusting to do here right now ... You will need to fly it south to do find employment untill spring I'm afraid ...
