So if you like me have Cisco/Linksys E4200 router and was able to connect using 5GHz over bigger distance to get the maximum performance then quickly go here and get the latest 1.0.03 firmware and upgrade you E4200 router.
I’ve been using this router for couple months(firmware 1.0.02) but I was not able to connect over 5GHz if I was sitting in my office in 1st floor(the router is on the ground floor). It looks like Cisco did something in new 1.0.03 firmware, because as soon as I upgraded to a new firmware version my computer reconnected on 5GHz which means that I can get up to 450Mbps instead of 144Mbps.

Building Fournier RF4 pt. 7
Hello!
Wings are glued together! almost finished with the balsa covering, the plastic coverings are cut out, made a mount for the wings to the fuselage and that’s nearly it for now 🙂 Weights about 240g putted all together for a view:
Building Fournier RF4 pt. 6
Hello!
Wings assembled!, here comes the covering with balsa…
Building Fournier RF4 pt. 5
So, moving further…
The covering… I did the covering with this type of pattern for the first time in my life… i think i quite succeeded so far 😀
I played a LOT with the temperature, and the style of covering, I decided that the best way is to cover the sides separately, with separate sheets of covering
The wing is nearly finished
Building Fournier RF4 pt. 4
Hello,
I’m falling in love with this kit! It has some parts to think about but still i love to build my Fournier
So, I glued the bend’s into the elevator and rudder, finishing my fuselage and starting with the wings…
Building Fournier RF4 pt. 3
Hello,
I’m building the fuselage, the glue that i use “kleiberit” is a mess… so i had to do something to reduce the amount of the glue because when it reacts to air it starts to bubble a lot and spreads… so i nee only minor glue….
for that i made this:
Made of a 3mm carbon rood ant a needle. Works perfectly for me to use the right amount of glue!
Not the photos of how far i have gone… the plane assembles with no big problems, maybe only the fittings are a bit lose…
Building Fournier RF4 pt. 2
so, making some progress… let see how it fits without glue only with the rubber:
quite nice i must say!
Lets see the wings:
now the wings got some minor problems, let see the plank blueprint…
Building Fournier RF4 pt. 1
Hello,
So, the first impression of the West wings kit – AWESOME!!!
some photo’s of the inbox items:
1 st the blueprint:
it’s really good that it is 1:1 scale, i think it will help a lot in the future
2nd the plank blueprint:
not quite useful i think, but it will help…
Building Fournier RF4
Hi all! tomorrow I will receive West Wings kit Fournier RF4. I googled for some build blogs or other info, sadly there were only a few build blogs, and not informative enough for me. This will be my first EVER balsa kit (or model, name how you want it) so I’m quite…well a LOT exited! The strangest thing i noticed on the net that some shops say it’s wing length is 1.5m others – 1.7m where’s the truth? i will measure it my self 🙂 As far i had read it should be quite easy to build, i like making stuff, i love gliders, but i chose the motor version because i don’t have anyone to lift it up for me or a hill to throw it from… But in future i will get or build a glider without a motor 🙂
Fournier in real life (wiki copy)
The Fournier RF 4 is a single-seater motor glider designed by René Fournier in 1966. It is an aerobatic version of the Fournier RF-3.[2][1]
The other thing that i loved that it is an aerobatic plane 🙂
