I buried Gumby in a snow drift while I pondered and implemented this critical part of the build. No room for the myth and hijinks associated with his presence, as an error in thought at this critical juncture, could spell disaster for Ogre’s completion and final form.

The moment of truth eventually arrived....that being the dry fitting of the air foils! I was happy to see that all seems well.

When components fall into place and align with each other in a dry elastically bound fit, you can be fairly certain that all will go well when the wings are placed in bonds of the epoxy molecules in the near future.

Pulleys take one...faux pulleys.

This past Friday around 11 AM I retuned from my annual physical. I was the recipient of the “you will live out the day” guarantee. Rather than faux pulleys, the design team has decided to remanufacture and make functional pulleys. After I retuning from the doctor, we knocked out 8 pulleys. After my thrilling physical exam, it felt a bit different sitting on the model shop stool, but the feeling will pass with time. I remembered that in the scrap box there were many wood discs from previous builds. Gumby made the pulleys and I installed Al tube bearings, wooden sheaves, some roof flashing for a bracket, and a functioning aileron cable control pulley set emerged. While not strong enough for a flight model, they will serve my purpose in showing how things worked in WW1 aero planes.

Thinking about our growing pulley collection I remembered that we had not tapped a great model component resource, that being the son’s Lego part collection. Having just had his 27th B’day, I do not think Toley will miss a few Lego parts. Stripping the tyres off of some small auto rims, ready made pulleys emerged.

With Gumby”s help a third type of pulley emerged. Functional in their design and construction, the sheaves on the Lego pulleys rotate.

Now that they are all painted. We have a supply to meet all our cable direction needs for this builds and for those in the future.

The Gumster managed to assemble the four pulleys that direct the aileron control cables over the upper and lower wing surfaces. Tomorrow he must assemble four slightly larger pulleys that mount slightly below the wing surfaces directing force from the ailerons to the wing mounted pulleys. He is on hos own tomorrow AM as I am off to the doctor for my annual physical examination. Looking forward or rearward to an unpleasant experience!

Gumby is in the spotlight of activity!

The sheeting of the ventral surface of the upper wing was also completed.
