| hjlittman | Guillows Series 900 - Skyraider | Build | 18-Oct-12 13:40 |  | | Views : 1718 | | The noses of the 900 series kits tend to be a little weak so I do a little fill in to make them stronger and easier to handle. |
| hjlittman | Guillows Series 900 - Skyraider | Build | 18-Oct-12 13:38 |  | | Views : 1673 | | am doing a 900 Series Skyraider for the "G" Challenge this year. The Skyraider has been on my small building board for some months but has been sidetracked by more pressing projects. Since there are only 14 days left in this year's "G" Challenge I figured that I had better get to it. Of course I know someone who builds his contest models the night before the contest, but that is another story. The wood in this kit is quite light but a tad on the brittle side. I had to sand the back sides of the sheets to get the parts out. And, even then I still had to do some cutting. Fortunately, the sheets containing the fuselage sides were approximately the same density and grain structure, so the fuselage went together straight without any trouble. |

| hjlittman | Guillows Series 300 - DeHavilland Beaver | Build | 07-Jun-12 22:33 |  | | Views : 2897 | | "Bones Shot" on floats. The prop is a 6-1/2 inch Ikara with a very aggressive pitch. Haven't finished and flown this one yet, but it's light enough that it should fly, respectably, on rubber power. Don't expect it to R.O.W. but I'll try it. |
