fellas, i have been workin up a new model....this plane looks awesome. the fella that made the build thread name is jason. he is a very nice fella, and shared his drawings with me in confidence that i would not post them online anywhere. i would like to share the files, but i gave Jason my word i would keep in confidence. being old school, i will honor my word and keep it under my hat....if anyone has any interest in this model will have to talk to him. i do want to post a link to his build thread were the old monkey started to get involved with this model. Jason has video of the clik-xl posted thru out his thread, and im sure you will find it a nice looking, flying model to work up...anyone want a look here is the link, peace, randy.

Super nice cuts on your plane there Randy!
What size bit did you use. Looks small.

 

thanks shawn, the tool is a 1/16dia. its a ball end 1/2in cut length. randy.

 

Wow man that looks awesome!!
Mark

 

ok fellas, mark asked me to share my build photos of the clik-xl....so im gonna just spam away....lols. randy.

 

jeff, i scaled mine to a 40in. wing span...as of the way you see the model it weighs 7.9oz. randy.

 

yea flash, i cut that long ago from 2in blue foam with my hotwire...

 

Dennis, as far as i know about it they do both somehow, but i am a idiot monkey about the subject. i do know the model is ment to be flown slow 3-D style, and the air turbulators help do that somehow. also jason over on rc groups that gave me the drawings says its a excellent patters model also. his name is "edfrules" and check out some model flight videos...he would be the fella to ask that to get a intelligent answer......not a ghetto foam cutting monkey, lmao. follow the link in my first post to his thread. peace, randy.

 

ok fellas, i got my first roughing paint coat slopped on this mornin....i am doing this in hopes of curing mark from doing the teaser stuff he likes to do...although its probably a futile attempt at best, lols. when i put the finishing detail, i will post a good photo...well thats if mark stopps that teaser business, lmao

 

ok fellas, i put the finishing touches on the same way i roughed it in sloppy as heck.....i could say i drank too much coffee that made my hands shake, lmao...its called old age...well i got steady hands for flyin that's the important thing...all in all not to bad for freehand airbrushing...all left to do is cut a motor mount and mount the motor, and install radio..as of now its at 8.40z with everything glued on and painted, minus the motor mount....randy.

 

Hey !! Nice paint job

 

the wing tip ones are straight to fuse....Jason also put air tabulators on, and them go on the angles....im not installin any as i have turbulators on all the trailing edges. thanks for the complement, all the airbrushing was slopped on by hand. its not real good up close, but in the air it will be allrite. randy.

 

lols flash...

 

yoram its the same sheet flipped over, i was trying to show the elevator hinging step cuts...randy.

 

ok fellas, the "phlatprinter clik-xl" is completed....i found a awesome mod for foamies...it takes a lil time to do, but its a excellent way to strengthen the fuse on a foamie model. the total weight tally came in at 21.3oz..... with 260watts, it will have 3-d power btw thats with a 2100mah pack. i didnt weigh it with a 1320mah yet. on the rudder and elevator controls were done in a pull/pull system. i used 20# spiderwire braided fishing line for the controls, and the fuse stiffening. i will post the finished build photo when it stops raining out. i have been getting pm's from the fellas that want the plans/cut files. like i said in the first post, i promised jason this would be kept under my hat. i haven't done alot in my life, but i always keep my word. randy.
