Balsa FRIDAY RC Plane Build - Tony Nijhuis Harrier P7

#harrier #dadsrchangar #balsa #howto #build #itff
It's that Friday Feeling; let's begin the Part seven build of the Tony Nijhuis Harrier. It's Friday, so what could possibly go wrong?

This Blasa Jet is powered by a 4s EDF, making it a thrilling project for any RC enthusiast! Join us as we step into history and recreate one of the most iconic strike-attack aircraft of the 20th Century. Tony Nijhuis' 37" 4s Masterpiece is a tribute to this legendary aircraft, making it a must-see for history and aviation enthusiasts.
In the coming weeks, we will build this Jet from the ground up and have her ready for a maiden as soon as the weather permits.

It is probably one of the most iconic strike attack aircraft of the 20th century and a model we have wanted to do for a long time. Although not VTOL, this model is a real joy to build and fly and very easy to hand launch.

Unlike the recent midi jet designs, where the wings were made of solid sheet balsa, this is a built-up wing with one of our tried-and-tested wing sections. Although not a perfect scale representation, as we have used a single 70mm 4S edf and ducted straight to the rear of the model, we are sure that even the most discerning scale modellers out there should be pretty pleased with this offering.

The plans are full-size and reproduced on a large sheet of quality paper.

Hey Chris, I was trying to tell ya but you were not listening. 😂 I was saying you need a left and right but those are the same. Lol happens to the best of us. Happy building man!

[purcellrcaviationchannel]

Chris, you're not alone in building two same sides! Gotta say, your choice of finish for your Harrier will be, as the 'yoof' are moved to say... SICK! If I ever build one of these, I'm afraid I'm going to have to shamelessly copy you. Excellent choice 👍👍

[PopeyeFPV]

Cheers Dad for showing the mistakes which we ALL make in this hobby. There's nothing wrong with making mistakes as they are all learning that's cool that you go to the same field as Dom from Essential RC. Looks like a great place to fly! Have a great weekend.

[CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Better to make two of the same side now before you start the wings! Don't worry about it we've all done it 😁

[stevearmett]

One of them things Chris it happens better to do it now then when it's lresdy glued on the plane 🙈😉👍

[Bareknuckleflying.]

Chris don't worry about the weak balsa, the glassing will sort that out.
Glass cloth and epoxy resin is ridiculously strong so don't add more wood to strengthen it, keep the weight down as much as poss.
It's looking great and don't worry about building 2 of the same side, no one will ever know 😉.

[MarkCroucherRCfun]

Ever built two right hand wings ? Asking for a friend 😊

[Caroline_Tyler]

As you were sticking them down I was thinking....are you sure Chris?? I did the same thing making a wing on the Sopwith Pup. :)

[joepellissier]

I think I knew this based on the build but it’s a harrier in name/shape only, not vertical take off..still a cool plane…I think I would add landing gear. Regarding building the sides the same (one backwards), we have all done that and I know I will again. Crack on.

[ModelAVRChannel]

Hey, practice makes perfect...no matter the side. Lol. I've done that. Twice.

[IansRCExploits]

Chris I think you need to retire!! So as you can do more episodes through the week Lol I want to see more of the Harrier being built, mind you it is taking shape nicely 😀👍
