"Hi,my name is Kam Mitchell and Ii live near the city of Canterbury
in the county of Kent Great Britain. Just thought I would drop you
a line to show you how my ME109 turned out.I got half way through
building the airframe and thought, hmm micro r/c gear,yep recon it
might work. So when the whole airframe was finished but not assembled
I set to sheeting the bottom of the wings and leading edge, bottom
and side's of fuselage and topside of elevator. I then cut and fashioned
the ailerons and rudder,sheeting where needed(all sheeting was done
useing 1/16th balsa). Then came fitting the gear. I decided to have
two access hatches. The canopy is built as an entirely separate item
which slotted in with a dowel at the front and a screw at the rear,this
gives access to the servo tray. The other hatch is situated at the
front side of the fuselage just beneath the exhaust,this is the access
to the brush less motor which is fitted to a removable ply bulkhead,and
space for the battery. I used two aileron servo's glued directly
to the inside of of the wing adjacent to the aileron.all servo's
were 3.7 gram sub micro's.the receiver is a sub micro blue arrow
.I stuck with tissue and dope simply because I hadn't tried it since
I was a kid. Whilst I'm not the best builder in the world(normally
do ARTF)it turned out ok. Haven't flown it yet, I'm waiting for some
decent weather. Total weight minus battery turned out at 235grams/8and
a quarter ounces. I
enjoyed putting together your kit and would like to try another.
Many
thanks Kam"
