ANTARES

Pictures to follow, sorting out the Parts


QUESTIONS

Are you Building a Lite version of this plane ?

The tow hook setup and mount as I understand it is feeble at best. I will grab some pictures of all the parts . The hook seems a smaller diamer then what I have seen on other RES model

I see the tip panel (C) spar is tapered and capped top and bottom with cf strips 3mm x .5mm , what lumber is used in between the strips ? I am looked for some 3 mm material and it seems to be missing

UPDATE This material is on the sheets with the Fuselage Parts woohoo


I


PARTS MISSING Lite Version

    • 2 wing tips for the Lite

————————————————————————————————————–

Standard BUIld

It seems all three wing segments for the standard are built with d tube ply sheet top and bottom, this assumption made from the ribs profile, CF strip quantity and ply sheet I have.  Somewhat different from the Version in the Build thread on rcnetwork, where the c segment has a cf rod leading edge

Parts

 1 x 1 mm spruce for tail feather trailing edges, extra screws, nuts , magnets also some music wire which I believe is use for the CF pushrod ends, where it gets overlapped and bent to suite the control horns for and aft

 

Hardware Package

the STD Antares has the longer CF wing rod, thus also longer alu tubes for the wing panel A

there is some talk, JS, that perhaps there may be some premature alu tube wear especially when using the steel wing rod with the Antares STD , brass could be substituted

Balsa 10 x 3 mm and 10 x 5 mm I think the 5mm is for the LE of all 3 panels though I am not sure really , the 10 x 3 well any ones guess, any ideas ?

ply, maybe .5 mm thick, Perhaps trailing edge for all 3 wing panels , There are two different widths, wider at top other at bottom based on what I see with the ribs , there are 6 of each width HuuM:)

more ply wood, sheet one and two have marks at each end , and If cut perhaps are what is used for the D Box sheeting, Sheet 3 anybodies guess , and 4 appears to be panel a sheeting at root rib. Mysteries, mysteries

ribs , shear webbing, spoilers , wing tips bottom sheet

looks like a ply doubler for the horizontal stab, not sure what other pieces are for

Update plywood doublers for ribs, A panel, where rectangular ballast fits, just not clear yet which ribs ?

horizontal and vertical stab, wing tips

Light Parts

shorter wing rod,

horizontal and vertical stab, as well as spoilers,

the lower sheet at left has 2 wing tip pieces, I am looking for the other two

7 sheets for the wings , 6 shown here 7th is in image above, partial sheet Segments A and B use supplied CF tube spars Segment C uses some type of built up spar?

wing trailing edges, earlier versions seemed to have cutouts in these TE Parts

fuselage pieces, angle piece for wing assembly, also the balsa spar for segment C is on these balsa fuselage sheets 🙂

fuselage parts outer 2 pieces are thin ply

these parts are ply and appear to be for the inner panel A I am missing some of the pieces for securing wing rod , into Segment A CF wing tube not sure what the 4 oval pieces are on the right!

Update, the 4 oval pieces are used to set up the pod to boom as bases for the supports.
