Hello everyone,

I don't come on here much, but i thought I'd share a video of my build progress. Some of you may have already seen it, but for those that haven't, a few details.

Drawing done for me by Ivan Taylor. He left me with a lot of scope for how to build it. I've been able to add my own touches to the build, which I'm thoroughly enjoying.
Wingspan is just under 48" - so as near as damn it 1/10th scale.
Propulsion is rubber power.
I'll be using scale dihedral, but incorporating a gyro to assist with stability.

It probably won't be one for the purists, but hey ho, each to their own.

Currently working on the prop, spinner and hub assembly. This will feature pitch adjustment for the blades, so we can experiment with that at the trimming stage.

Thanks for reading/watching. 👍🏻

Great update Mark, the Hurricane is looking fantastic. Looks like you are almost ready to cover ?

It's a hugely ambitious project with Gyro, adjustable pitch prop and big too for a rubber model but given your last model was a hugely ambitious and flew I've no doubt you'll do it again.  I suspect a gyro quipped rubber model could be a first

Keep us updated and welcome to HPA3  ;D

Loved the video too BTW :-)
