| hjlittman | Comet Kit #3204 - North American P-51A | Parked | 09-Nov-11 15:02 |  | | Views : 2669 | | Turned out nose heavy but still under 30 grams with bb shot in tail. Lots of lift so needed severe down and right thrust. Old stock Chart Pak tape control outlines peeling off in cold weather. Contest it was to be flown in on Sunday was rained out which is OK since I need some fresh rubber. Flying on scavenged motor. |
| hjlittman | Guillows Series 300 - Piper Cub 95 | Parked | 31-Oct-11 12:33 |  | | Views : 1166 | | Unfortunately, they mowed all the tall grass around the edge of the park, so I haven't found a safe place to test glide and trim it yet. |

| hjlittman | Guillows Series 300 - Piper Cub 95 | Build | 28-Oct-11 12:55 |  | | Views : 983 | | Here is the plastic cowl being covered with a single piece of wet Esaki tissue pulled and stretched around it. The excess is trimmed with dry. |
| hjlittman | Guillows Series 300 - Piper Cub 95 | Build | 28-Oct-11 12:54 |  | | Views : 1126 | | Frames being covered, wet, with Esaki tissue. The color scheme is right off the box cover. The bottom of the fuselage is covered with blue tissue. The blue side flashes will be added, dry, as trim after the fuselage has it's first Krylon misting. The blue tissue would turn green with the yellow under it if applied wet. Then the fuselage will get another Krylon misting. Yes, the struts are covered with tissue. |
| hjlittman | Guillows Series 300 - Piper Cub 95 | Build | 23-Oct-11 00:05 |  | | Views : 1036 | | The basic sanding is done and after the cowl key and magnets I will be able to start the covering process. There are a couple of other changes from stock...I added the wing locating pins, like my Beaver and Porter designs, to keep the incidence correct and a real tailwheel instead of the wooden cutout. |
