NATOMike | Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 | Build | 15-Jun-20 12:44 |  | Views : 1346 | Finished covering with tissue. I discovered that the B5 pieces were so long I could not place the lower wing underneath the fuselage. Spent some time sanding it down. I am beginning to assemble the parts, but I am not sure the nose cone will go on easily to make it flyable. I can already sense the CG and the CM are way off. |
NATOMike | Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 | Parked | 15-Jun-20 12:42 |  | Views : 1361 | The lower wing was a serious challenge and I avoided making any control surface moveable. I originally wanted to make a flyable model, but not sure that will happen. |
NATOMike | Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 | Parked | 15-Jun-20 12:41 |  | Views : 1396 | Started lower wing, but decided not to build diherdyl or make the aileron separate. This has been a challenge so far and I am frustrated with the complexity. I overshot with a more advanced build |
