Greetings Rob, I would appreciate the pnut plan. Have you built the plane? Thanks. John ... scale and somewhat increased flying dihedral. You should be able to...
Hi, we've posted a new homepage picture. This time it is a picture of Frog Jr Midges built by RD. A reminder that there are ten weeks left in this year of...
Well I was going to post something here asking if anyone had done the Frog Junior series in foam. But I guess Wout answered that question. :-) I've picked up...
RD, I used the Plantraco servo Rx, 2.5 gm Blue Arrow servos, a 3.7v 90 ma lipo and a 7 mm Super Slicks motor in a 4:1 gearbox. It was underpowered with that...
Hi Bill, Thanks for the info. Seeing your user name, Scrubs, connects me with you on SFA. It was your picture of the small Born Loser which inspired me to...
Welcome to the group. Bill. Looking forward to seeing and reading about your Midge. Personally, I do not find it much of a pennance to build a Frog Jr;o)...
Actually I've been a lurker for a long long time in your groups. Your stuff on SFA too. I'm finding it tough lately to do a long involved build. Too many 1/2...
Bill, I know what you mean about doing long involved builds and 1/2 dones piling up. I've got 3 Guillows startups that are resting in storage boxes. One a...
Al, I'm doing the midge now. Ready to add the last of the formers & start sheeting in the top and bottom. The limiting factor for me on these is finding some...
Bill, My FROG Jrs usually print out to 10-11 inch wingspans, so I use a 4 inch Peck prop. Most often on these little ones I use 3/32 rubber. I use Elmers...
Hi Bill, If I may chime in here. On my 9" Pup a 4 1/2" prop with 3/32nd rubber was plenty adequate. 1/8th rubber just made the model loop. My other Jr...
Hi Bill, All the JR models I built were tail heavy, including with prop and rubber in place, and required a fair amount of nose ballast. I think you will need...
I would hollow out especially the rear cowling block. Hollowing the lower cowl block won't reduce the flying weight because you probably need to ballast the...
I put a pic of the finished Midge in my album "Scrubs scraps". 9.5 gms with prop and rubber. It was a fun build, quick & easy. Took it out in the yard...
Too early to tell for sure Wout. On those low winds it's just a straight long glide. Tried 200 hand winds but it bounced around quite a bit with the wind....
The Keil Kraft Cadet glider looked like a good candidate to model into a full bodied CLG. I made a 10" WS one from all sheet balsa using 1/32nd for the...
I notice "simpleflyer" has posted two of my photos of my Devastator without my permission or knowledge. Not a big deal but it is piracy. The pics were taken...
Nick, I moderate both groups, the Guillows group and this one. The intention was not to 'pirate' the pictures but to share them with this group where Minute...
Thank you, Richard, for posting the picture and sharing your lengthy report about the model and experiences with it. I am looking forward to your next...
Bill, let me echo Richard and Wout's comments on your Midge. Very nice looking model. Also, I'm looking forward to more flight reports on this model. May I...
Sure Al, I'd be honored & thanks for the complement. FLying reports will probably wait awhile tho. It's 30 & windy around here. If the wind dies & we don't get...
Hi, We've posted a new homepage picture. A colorful Midge nicely built by Bill. Thanks for the picture. To bad about your cold weather, Bill. Hope that you...
... to pick up a few suitable sheets. Hi, Al, What do you consider suitable? Is it the lightest you can find or do you look for something else? I think I will...
