Peter 0 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I thought it may be interesting to see the DH84 which I have converted to electric using outrunners and Lipos . If it ever stops raining I will let you have details of flight characteristics. The photo is without the outer planes but they are attached now . Quite pleased with the result.

Spiffy 1 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Nice - I've had a half completed Dragon up in the loft for years. Never got round to finishing it. Interesting to see how it flies with leccy power. Link to post Share on other sites
Club Members Trevor 25 Posted July 4, 2007 Club Members Share Posted July 4, 2007 Peter, Is this the one that only weighs 4lb? How did you achieve such a low weight? Link to post Share on other sites
Peter 0 Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 Trevor, I tend to build light and probably the weight is kept down by using cyno pretty well exclusively. It was also a very lightly designed airplane which our own Mike Sun originally conceived. The airframe is mostly constructed of 1/4 sq balsa and then covered with nylon. Wings are detachable and rely on the rigging for strength basically they are pin jointed trusses so great strength with lightness. I hope this helps. If interested I can bring to club night sometime.
