| pfinn | Scratch Built Holiday | Build | 31-Oct-19 15:28 |  | | Views : 687 | | Denmark still. Was able to fly the "Thermite" at the beach today. Built this years ago. It's somewhere here on VA squeezed into another build. |
| pfinn | Scratch Built Holiday | Build | 30-Oct-19 11:50 |  | | Views : 702 | | Horizontal Stabilizer. Laminate, Notch, Fit rib blanks.... This wil be a "Full Flying" Stabilizer. The Sub-ribs will be trimmed to length after the ribs are notched for the 1/6" square spruce spars. I wil be curved to match the wing spar. The airfoil will be shaped free-hand after everything is bonded. |
| pfinn | Scratch Built Holiday | Build | 28-Oct-19 17:27 |  | | Views : 828 | | Since this is still on the "Holiday" build thread... I was able to fly the actual "Holiday" from the original build hereon VA in Denmark. So this model was framed up in Maui 10 years ago, finished in California, and now has flown "Internationally"! It must have about 600+ flights on it. I just gave it a rebuild so it should go another few hundred. If the Wind and Radio gods allow it!! haha |
| pfinn | Scratch Built Holiday | Build | 27-Oct-19 11:54 |  | | Views : 722 | | Brought some stuff to Denmark to build the tail feathers. I used a computer for the wing design predominantly to ensure the correct critical airfoil profile sizes so I could print them out accurately. But for the tail feathers I just draw them out freehand, cut paper outlines, set them on the floor and trim them until they "Look about right". |
| edbecky | Guillows Series 800 - Cessna Skyhawk | Build | 27-Oct-19 09:02 |  | | Views : 3536 | | Latest on Cessna. I did get distracted once again by scratch build of Kinner Envoy in the foreground. Plans from Airplane News, Oct 1935. James if you see this please add this in scratch build planes so I can post build. |
