[NSRCA-discussion] Electric Brio Weight Savings

[Keith Black]

Steve,

The link below has some pictures of mine, you saw at NATS, but no real description on the building process.  http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4245872/mpage_1/key_brio%2Cflies/tm.htm

Here are a few things to consider to get started. 

1. I cut out the firewall and used Jerry Budd's electric mount. After MANY hours of scratching my head I decided his mount would make things easier. For the back motor brace I used 1/8" light ply laminated with carbon cloth.  Jerry also sells a rear motor brace which may make things easier.

2. I removed the pipe tunnel except where I wanted to use it for mounting my elevator servo.

3. My wings and stab weren't installed aligned correctly. I had to reset my main wing tube and the stab.
This link briefly describes wing tube resetting, stab tube adjustment, control horn geometry and rudder building: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_2728173/mpage_6/key_reset%2Ctube/tm.htm

4. You'll definitely want to replace your rudder, doing so can save close to 2 ounces!

This is a start, let me know if you have any additional questions.

Keith

  Does anyone have any information or even pictures of how they started their electric Brio? I have mine on the table but am totally stumped on what to do first. Also, other than Don Szczur's write up on RCU, are there any other Brio build sites that happen to have something about building one electric. 


  Thanks!
