Modified CY 100" Dauntless 

It weighed 42lbs

What I mean is, this plane was modified to be more scale. Way more panel lines and rivets. Scale sierra gear that had to be retrofitted.

Hey mate! U did a very good job 👏🏼 Do you remember what has to be done to this flying beauty to build it more scale? Maybe you have some pictures of the work that youve done? Looking forward to buy a dauntless too. But wanted to know if i can handle the work that needs to be done. 😅

@@A-Ronnn Nice I see that the dive brakes have been modified as the Kit is set up as dive brakes only. Was nice to see it land with the flaps down. Mine is getting a UMS 9/115 radial. The Saito does sound nice in this though.

@@szambo86 The first thing I did was cut out the retract mounts and recess them deeper into the wing so the wheels can be on the correct side of the axles. next, all the panel line detail on the fuselage was filled in and re-applied in a more scale manner to match the wing. the outer wing panels had open bay sections, so I fully sheeted them, added the wing vents, and glassed the wing. The hatch was glued on permanently and blended into the fuselage, and the Cowl had added cowl flaps and nose scoop (on the top of cowl and bottom of the fuselage) to the -3 version to add more airflow exit and air intake to route air straight to the carburetor. I also added a functional tail hook, scale exhaust and full cockpit from dbalsa. finally the wheel well hole have to be enlarged to accept a 5.5" or 6 " tire. I did a thread on rcscalebuilder in the ARF makeover forum.
